How can you make sure you’re getting the most from your vitamin C supplement?

How can you make sure you’re getting the most from your vitamin C supplement?

Bioflavonoids

It would take at least a dozen oranges to make 1 gram of vitamin C (making it very expensive), so most are made by a fermentation process. That may not sound great but actually, the chemical vitamin c (AKA ascorbic acid), is the same from either source. But in nature it’s always accompanied by bioflavonoids, to enhance its effects. Unless you have a problem with citrus, ensure your vitamin C product also contains bioflavonoids.

Metabolites

You can go even further and try vitamin C with metabolites, which studies show help the vitamin enter the cells faster and stay longer, increasing the effectiveness of smaller doses. And, for those who are sensitive to ordinary vitamin C (it is an acid), Ester C might suit you as it has a neutral pH.
