I recommend vitamin C for all of my patients. In general, I recommend Liposomal Vitamin C. Read on to find out why. First, I will say that through the years for myself, I have been happy with another brand but regret the price. I found NutriFlair and found that it has 20% more vitamin C per serving (same number of servings) and is actually 38% cheaper. That ends up being a value of about 48% higher. So -- what's the deal with Vitamin C? Here's the thing, we are one of the only mammals that don't produce its own vitamin c. Vitamin C is important for the skin, hair, nails, but most importantly, it plays a vital role in the function of our immune system. The issue with vitamin C taken by mouth is that Vitamin C is one of the most delicate vital chemicals (vitamins) that we consume. Air, sun, water, and other chemicals in our digestive tracts ruin the chemical bonds. The RDA (recommended daily allowance) is the amount necessary to prevent scurvy. However, the amount you need to keep your immune system is actually quite a bit higher. A lot higher. You would have to take so much vitamin C (like 10's of thousands of milligrams) to get the amount you actually need for a healthy immune system. The problem with that is that that amount would give you a very bad case of diarrhea and it would be very expensive. Enter "liposomal vitamin c." The delicate bonds are protected because the ascorbate (Vitamin C) is protected in a fatty "liposome" sphere. This offers chemical and physical protection of the elements and allows for it to become absorbed into your body. Thus, a single daily dose of 1200 mg has the effect of tens of thousands of mg. In summary, this vitamin c has a much more effective mode of delivery, is high quality, is inexpensive, and is effective.
