Truth about ascorbic acid vs real vitamin C. Most C is ascorbic acid, which still can be useful for some things.

The 4 Things about VITAMIN C That Are Quite SHOCKING!

Ascorbic acid (synthetic vitamin C) is made from glucose and other chemicals. Personally, I would only take ascorbic acid for a short-term detox cleanse, not on a long-term basis.

The best type of vitamin C to get is vitamin C from food or food-based vitamins.

Foods that have the most vitamin C:
• Leafy greens
• Berries
• Lemons
• Organ meats
• Bell peppers
• Sauerkraut

Things you need to know about vitamin C:
1. There is little to no benefit from taking high doses of ascorbic acid.

2. Most vitamin C sold is fake and made from sugar.

3. Vitamin C is not absorbed well if you consume sugar at the same time.

4. A mega-dose of ascorbic acid may cause oxidation, diarrhea, and bloating.
