Vitamin C: Findings
built 270 days ago
Fruits and vegetables lose vitamin C quickly, especially when exposed to heat. For this reason, fruits and vegetables should not be cooked in water. Rather, they should be cooked over water--for example, in a double boiler. Pots should not contain copper. Copper can ... destroy vitamin C. Canned foods generally preserve vitamin C until opened.

Vitamin C (as well as other vitamins) should be taken in capsule-form, powdered-form, or liquid-form for maximum absorption. If you must take vitamins in their pill-form, test them to make sure they will disolve quickly in water.

Ever since Linus Pauling began publicizing the value of megadoses of vitamin C in the early 1970's, it has been a cornerstone of medical mythology that vitamin C can cause kidney stones. The accusation is false. (14) Everybody has heard about unicorns and can describe one in detail. You could probably draw a unicorn. You can see one in your mind right now. Yet unicorns do not exist.

Vitamin C is produced from glucose by two main routes. The Reichstein process developed in the 1930s uses a single pre-fermentation followed by a purely chemical route. The more modern Two-Step fermentation process was originally developed in China in the 1960s, uses additional fermentation to replace part of the later chemical stages. Both processes yield approximately 60% vitamin C from the glucose feed.

When you take vitamin C and antioxidants, you will take it at different times of the day with H2O2. Assuming you take antioxidant in the morning and you take H2O2 in the afternoon. They will both kill the virus, but in different ways. Antioxidants act on your body to do the killing, while H2O2, kills it directly without the need for your immune system's help. Just make sure H2O2 and antioxidants are not taken at the same time. If you insist to take it as close as possible, then it is at least about 2 hours apart.

Vitamin C is very unstable so deliver to referral laboratory within 4 hours of collection. Alternatively dilute plasma (EDTA or Li) in an equal volume of 6% metaphosphoric acid (available from Sigma Chemical Co, catalogue number M-5043). Mix for 30s, protect from light and deliver to laboratory within 24h. If delivery to referral laboratory is outwith 24 hours send on ice.
