per day can cause iron deficiency and anemia.
Ascorbic acid and calcium ascorbate are synthetic/isolated forms of vitamin C. Esterified-C has a few
elements added back to an isolated vitamin C molecule and is therefore more absorbable than
ascorbic acid, but is processed with a nickel catalyst leaving some residues in the final product (i.e. heavy metal contamination).
Natural vitamin C is found in once-living nutrient sources and has all its naturally occurring elements
synergistically present and bonded (including naturally occurring bioflavonoids) because it is a 100% whole food source, such as the ayurvedic herb, amla, the highest known source of naturally occurring
vitamin C.
When synthetic vitamin C is consumed, it is mostly unused by the body. It can stress the liver and
kidneys to excrete it, and it is acid forming in the body. If “vitamin C” is listed as an ingredient of a
product, it is usually the synthetic form. Supplements with natural sources containing natural vitamin C do not usually list ?vitamin C? on the label, but rather, list the name of the herb or food source on
the label.
Some products claim to have ?vitamin C with rose hips and acerola? but these products typically have a very small amount of rose hips and/or acerola (two plants that are rich in natural vitamin C) with a large amount of
added synthetic vitamin C. Synthetic vitamin C mixed with whole food nutrients is not the same as taking 100% naturally occurring vitamin C as an intricately complexed part of herbs or whole foods.
Avoid synthetic vitamin C made with pesticided corn or refined sugar — get your vitamin C the way nature truly intended ? from rich, natural sources, such as Amla and Camu camu.
