    While only approximately 15-16% of oral vitamin C is absorbed, intravenous C is out of the reach for average Americans. Lyposomal C (tradename Lypospheric C), a nano form of oral C and lipid encapsulated, can bypass the digestive system and go directly into the cells. It is reportedly as much as 5 times as effective as intravenous C. It can be purchased, or made at home.

  2. Why parents aren't taught to give their children Vit. C every day (I found the one with bioflavanoids and rosehips work better for myself)..along with a few other supplements, is the problem of low immunity to begin with. Being asthmatic, and susceptible to respiratory all my life, I finally learned this. I would say very few get enough in food everyday and it's too bad to see something easily avoidable be so prevalent. They don't need vaccines, they need vitamins!..in my opinion.

    I’m convinced most Westerners are at near-scurvy levels with their Vitamin C intakes. The ‘RDA’ is only enough to prevent scurvy, not provide optimal results. Linus Pauling who won two Nobel Prizes before the AMA tried to have him in jail as a crank, recommended 10 grams of C a day to get us in line with what other animals produced in their own tissues. Humans are odd in that we can’t manufacture our own Vitamin C, and it’s been only recently that we started eating totally ‘manufactured’ foods, transported at great distances rather than locally grown and eating with the seasons. You can buy sodium ascorbate powder cheaply and add it to water (tastes like lemonade), sweeten with stevia if needed. Don’t add it to milk products, it will curdle.
