Need help on which form of vitamin C to take

[MarionP]

I've been looking through my notes that specify avoiding ascorbic acid and taking instead ___________. But as you see I'm drawing a blank, so can someone help me fill in that blank? Thanks so much. 🙂

Ascorbyl palmitate?

[MarionP in reply to Rufous2]

Not sure about that one, people were pretty insistent which one to use and it didn't sound quite so unfamiliar, your item sounds a little obscure, so it would need a little explanation I think or why you think so. People were pretty sure about why .

.

The problem with ascorbic acid specifically is it's synthetic and more like the envelope rather than the letter inside the envelope. And that's all I remember.

[MarionP in reply to Rufous2]

That's a totally new one on me yes I will look at that one

words that come to mind in relation to vitamin C are ‘buffered’ or ‘Wholefood’ or ‘liposomal’

[MarionP in reply to india245]

Liposomal is a word I recognize, it might just have been that.

One medium orange provides 60 - 83 milligrams of Vitamin C . Recommended daily intake 65 90 milligrams x

[crewmanwhite in reply to JJAJJ]

One medium orange from most shops contains about 5 mg by the time we eat it. We need at least 6000 mg daily.

Calcium Ascorbate??

[MarionP in reply to JayPwP]

Yeah I saw it but I didn't really recognize it, but I'm researching everything at this point thanks

[crewmanwhite]

It is best to take the buffered forms of vitamin C - a mix of sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate (sometimes others) plus bioflavanoids.

The ascorbates allow you to take higher doses, are better absorbed and prevent esophageal burning.

While it is tempting to take the so-called natural forms (i.e. extracted from plants), the doses are usually very low and you need to take lots of tablets.

The powdered forms of buffered C are often best.

If you have problems with those try the liposomal forms.

[MarionP in reply to crewmanwhite]

Right, I think the liposomal may just be the way

What about Acerola powder?

Acerola, also known as the Barbados cherry, is a fruit rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. While there isn't extensive research specifically linking acerola to Parkinson's disease (PD), its high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties can be beneficial for overall health, including potentially supporting brain health

[MarionP in reply to PHILCAM]

Interesting I will check it

I was just searching for something completely unrelated, and came across a product by a company called PaleoValley – it’s called essential C complex. It might be of interest to you. 😊
