🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🍊 Discussing the best type of Vitamin C: Whole Food, buffered, or liposomal. 00:28 📊 Four main forms of Vitamin C supplements cover 95% of the market. 01:07 🔄 Distinction between Whole Food Vitamin C and isolated/synthetic forms. 02:02 ❓ Consideration of Whole Food vs. isolated synthetic Vitamin C. 02:29 🔬 No known difference in biological activity between natural and synthetic ascorbic acid. 03:09 🤔 Whole Food Vitamin C contains co-factors missing in synthetic forms. 03:37 🆚 Pros and cons of synthetic and Whole Food Vitamin C supplements. 04:19 💲 Synthetic Vitamin C is inexpensive and available in high doses. 05:12 🥦 Whole Food Vitamin C supplements come with natural co-factors. 06:33 🤷 Difficult to superdose with Whole Food Vitamin C due to pill volume. 07:00 ⚖️ Adrenal gland stimulation and sodium retention linked to Vitamin C types. 07:54 🌟 Whole Food Vitamin C aids copper bioavailability; synthetic lowers it. 09:03 🚑 Use of synthetic Vitamin C for acute cases like flu due to high dose availability. 10:21 🛒 Most commercial ascorbic acid comes from chemical companies. 11:29 🚫 Side effects of ascorbic acid include stomach upset and diarrhea. 12:26 🔃 Buffered Vitamin C is less acidic and stomach-friendly. 13:06 💊 Liposomal Vitamin C boasts higher absorption and stomach gentleness. 15:13 🧪 Vitamin C with bioflavonoids may enhance uptake, but evidence is mixed. 16:06 🛁 Ascorbyl palmitate is fat-soluble, used in foods and creams, but less studied. 17:04 📝 Recommendations vary based on desired vitamin C benefits and co-factors. Made with HARPA AI

Buffered Vitamin C can be created at home, dissolve regular ascorbic acid in water and later add to it 1/4 of the amount baking soda. The water will fizz and after 10 second you will have sodium ascorbate.

I don't know my brother, if most people know how to appreciate your accumulated knowledge and how you lay things out to the very detail that many health teachers don't even know. Felix thank you for your generous hard work. You are a big blessing.

I like how balanced and informed your thoughts are. Thank you for making this.

How about just eat an orange or squeeze a lemon into your water. Dont forget apple cider vinegar for added benefits. Capers and vinegar foods like pickles or sauerkraut help the pancreas. For thousands of years before refridgeration we preserved and ate fermented foods. Kefir, kimchi....

As always -priceless information. Thank you Felix🕊

Excellent vid info and production. I especially appreciate your precise diction. Thank you!

Another very informative video, thanks Felix.

Amazing! This is by far the most thorough comparison of VitC I have discovered.

Love your time stamps and outlines man great work

Wow! A very knowledgeable and comprehensive analysis of this very relevant question many of us have when we are trying to get a handle on our personal health.

You have no idea how this video was beneficial and informative thank you for the effort and time you put into this channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Something to be aware of is (if I’m not mistaken) glucose and vit c compete for absorption. So maybe take vit c on an empty stomach, while eating fats, proteins or on the lower carb spectrum. PS- Sauerkraut is a very good source of food grade vit c as well. Personally I take organic camu camu.

This is such a great video

A good informative video overall. Thanks! I subscribed.

I drink 1/2 of a lemon squeezed in a glass of water every day.

Excellent summary. Much appreciated! Thank you for sharing this.

the most excellent presentation on vitamin C - thanks and well done

I don't take Vitamin C, but I eat enough fruits and vegetables that has vitamin c on them, so to me this has been the best way to get my vitamins, blood work shows all in check! :)

I appreciate that you find a use for all forms of vitamin C, and are not dogmatic about things.

Thank you for your detailed research, Felix. 👍

Happy New Year !! Simply Splendid THANK YOU !! 😁💯🕺🌹✨🎯🪅💎🎩

Great video and presentation. I discovered it by chance but will look a more of your videos.

Yes, very helpful video I used to take ascorbic acid and liposomal but now I am taking whole food

Excellent video! Thank you. Funny how anything synthetic has a downside. Natural is always best! 🍊

Thank you for explaining all of this, I had no idea. ❤

Always good stuff!

Thanks for this nuanced video. Liposomal vit C for my next flu!!

This was perfect! I agree super dosing is not the way to go. Very well done and informative.

This was helpful thanks

This is extremely useful. Thank you ever so much.

I'm a big fan of kiwis, which have a pretty good amount of C. Also lots of potassium and other nutrients.

Excellent narration wonderful voice...

Thanks for the great video

Fascinating and brilliant.

So the thumbnail is clickbait or did I miss something.

thank you very much for this very informative video!

Very informative and have learnt new areas of this vitamin thank you for this

The real issue is, the synthetic C needs to be the L-ascorbic acid {natural} form, not the D-ascorbic acid {synthetic} form, which is cheap and what most companies use, usually a blend of D and L form. There are plenty of scientific studies showing the cells need to be replete in ascorbate, which will not happen with so called whole food vitamin C. Copper and ceruloplasmin are not depleted until very high doses of ascorbic acid are used, nobody mentions that, and if you have studies to prove otherwise, share them, I need more than your opinion. Using a good fully buffered, pharmaceutical-grade {or better} L-ascorbate vitamin C product that has been tested for contaminants, is absolutely a healthy supplement to include in your regimen. Mega dosing is not required. And remember, if you are eating a good diet, you are getting some whole food C already, and all you need to do is add to it with a proper C supplement.

that was great, thank you. Im also interested in vitamin C used topically as an antioxidant. Could you please cover the various types used on skin? also you did'nt explain the pictures in the thumbnail. The synthetic photo looks scary!

Beautiful video. Which one would be best for skin, topical cream?

very clear view for whole vC benefit

Nice info. What about time released vitamin C forms though ? Because the levels quickly go down again in the body (within 3 hours or so).

Speed @1.25 or sleepy time. Anyway, that was very interesting and informative, though twice as long as it needed to be. You told us the "what" then the "why" then gave an example.

Peace. Kudos! Thank you! Well done and quite comprehensive. Hope my condiderations can fully come to a correct and accurate choice determination! Peace.

I feel like each video is an education in itself. Im taking notes at the recap

Allergies are another thing to consider when deciding on whole food vs synthetic supplements.

Great info as always. The one question I have about anything labeled "from whole food souces" is "What about pesticide residues, are these eliminated during the manufacturing process?" To me "from whole food souces" is a misnomer if "whole" includes pesticide /herbicide residues. I buy organic whenever I can as there is a taste difference. I suspect that there's also a difference in any vitamin derived ftom non-organic produce as well.

Your presentation was very easy to listen to and informative. Your voice is pleasant.

Great overview of Vitamin C, thank you Felix 👏👏✨

Nothing is better than daily freshly squeezed lemon juice. Everyone around me at work constantly sick. I haven't had anything.

I eat two red bell peppers a day for my vitamin c, plus their supposed to have a bunch of other vitamins as well. :)

Great video💞💞💞

Very good information

Thanks for sharing Felix. How much Vitamin C with Ester-C (from Solgar) to take daily? Some specialists say 2000 mg a day is too much and others say 5000 to 6000 mg a day. What do you suggest and see as more effective/standard?

Great breakdown. A+ in my opinion. I would like to point out that if buffering is not important for any given person, the magnesium form could make sense. After all, stomach acid is stronger than vitamin C. So just take it with a meal and you're fine. But if your body's magnesium is low versus calcium, then I would use the magnesium form.

Hei, What scientific resources you use to make this Video?. Could you provide a link to this paper I Am very interested to read!

Your voice has an ASMR quality to it. 😊

parsley has a lot of vitamin C and is really easy to grow yourself in a small garden or herb box.

How about fermented vitamin c?

m I missing something or did you omit info regarding your preview picture (100 days natural vitamin c vs synthetic vitamin c). I didn't see any info on that comparison

Im wondering if theres a link between copper and my hair loss bc you mentioned vitamin C lowering copper. I noticed whenever i tried cycling high doses of vitamin C I noticed significant hair loss this also happened with zic supplement they both lowet copper. Do you think trying a bio available form of copper may be a good experiment to see if i notice less shedding/hair loss? Do you know of any goid bioavailable forms of copper?

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🍊 En este video se analizan los diferentes tipos de vitamina C, como la vitamina C de alimentos integrales, la vitamina C buffer o con minerales, y la vitamina C liposomal para determinar cuál es la mejor opción. 01:20 🍏 La principal distinción es entre la vitamina C de alimentos integrales y la vitamina C sintética aislada. La vitamina C de alimentos integrales proviene de alimentos enteros y contiene coactores y otros nutrientes, mientras que la vitamina C sintética es aislada y se encuentra en productos como el ácido ascórbico. 03:09 🧪 La vitamina C sintética aislada es más económica y ampliamente disponible, pero carece de coactores presentes en los alimentos enteros. Puede causar molestias estomacales y potencialmente agotar ciertos coactores como el cobre. 05:12 🍒 La vitamina C de alimentos integrales generalmente se encuentra en productos como las cerezas de acerola o el camu camu. Contiene coactores naturales y suele tener dosis más bajas que la vitamina C sintética. 07:40 💤 La elección entre vitamina C de alimentos integrales y sintética depende de factores como la fatiga y el estado de cobre del individuo. La vitamina C sintética puede ser más adecuada para superdosis a corto plazo. 09:55 🧴 Los tipos principales de vitamina C sintética son: ácido ascórbico, ascorbatos buffer (minerales ascorbates) y vitamina C liposomal. Cada uno tiene ventajas y desventajas. 13:06 🚀 La vitamina C liposomal tiene una mayor absorción y es suave para el estómago debido a su encapsulación en liposomas. Sin embargo, es la forma más cara de vitamina C sintética. 15:13 🍊 La vitamina C con bioflavonoides es una mezcla de ácido ascórbico con bioflavonoides, pero su eficacia en comparación con otras formas es controvertida. El ácido ascórbico graso, llamado ácido ascórbico palmitato, es menos estudiado y se descompone en el tracto digestivo. Made with HARPA AI

We started making our own liposomal vit c years ago. There are many videos here on RU-vid showing how

My friend. Excellent work. I appreciate your work - sometimes I've wondered if this kind of thinking and information hadn't completely disappeared from the plant. This I... I can see that you have a great deal of interest in the subject, so maybe there is a chance that you will understand me when I say this, but when I heard you speak the words "buffered Vitamin-C" I felt such joy, slow and deep, that it will last possibly for many days. That's all I can say about it. It is some truly fascinating subject matter. Is it not?

Will try the liposomal version. Video helpful. I need to stay away from copper reduction. Cheers !

Felix, you should get a doctorate in nutrition. Thanks for the info. 👍

There is no way this needed to be a 17 minute video. I couldn’t take it

I love this video and the time and research you put into the presentation. The only thing you missed, which I was eager to see comparisons on is Vitamin C from freshly squeezed or eaten citrus or plant based versions of intake, and absorption and what’s needed for fighting germs?

I use synthetic but also "blend" whole lemons, make it into lemon ice cubes, and add a couple to an apple cider/turmeric/ginger/moringa/cinnamon tea.

Thank you!

I take Camu Camu capsules for Vitamin C supplementation. Camu Camu fruit have higher Vitamin C content than any other known food.

I take Life Extension brand liposomal vitamin c. 60 tablets for $25

Thanks for the assessment/analysis: 2 Questions: 1. What about Time-release Vitamin C (usually Ascorbic Acid w or w/o bioflavonoids)? 2. I have seen liposomal Vit C (in capsules) that is definitely not a gel/liquid , but looks more like powder. How is this possible?

can i use calcitriol suplememt during winter ?.

One quarter of a yellow bell pepper or half a red one is a full adult dose of Vit C….Sauerkraut is even better if you like it, but bell peppers have low flavour so you can eat them even if you are not a vegge person.

I take both vit c from fruits and vegetables and vit c from supplements. Win win 🗿

Great content! Can you please make a similar video about magnesium? This would be super useful as well

great video, i love these longer videos.

Sadly I live in Sweden where the central authority on what is allowed and not says that testing for copper "has no medicinal value" and is therefore not done here. Through research I have established that getting a test for copper probably would help me quite a lot in knowing how to move forward, but it's simply too expensive to order from abroad.

The most important is IV vitamin C 25k - 75K mg. Remarkable effect on sepsis , MRSA , Covid , and most bacterial, viral and fungal conditions and...cancer.

Thanks Felix!

Your voice is so soothing ❤. I prefer Vitamin C from citrus.

I believe co factors are extremely important as the co factors help with the body's absorption of the nutrient.

Maybe I missed it but where was the title pic addressed here? Was that just click bait? It looks as though the synthetic C is more effective in that image, but who knows. It should have been mentioned....

I am reminded of a young Murican I met in Nairobi many years ago. He commented that I was not taking my vEYEtamins. I commented that I got my vitamins from my food. Shortly afterwards, I heard him phoning his mother to tell her about this great new idea of putting vEYEtamins in the food!

Can you or anybody recommend products from uk?

One could argue against that the natural and synthetic vitamin C molecule is the same, as in nature vitamin C forms complexes which means it is an entirely different molecule that could have different properties (yes, that is mostly until the molecule gets broken apart again but upto that point this changes the bioavailability and how it is transported in the gut) - one of my favorite examples of this is the ascorbigen molecule that is formed in cabbages and the content of which increases in fermented cabbages. It is formed by its precursor glucobrassicin. Glucobrassicin is enzymatically hydrolyzed to indole-3-carbinol, which in turn reacts with l-ascorbic acid ending up as ascorbigen. For same molar amounts, ascorbigen is more effective in the body compared to ascorbic acid alone. The indole parts of the molecule probably add their benefits. Mainly about bioavailablity though. Because the molecule breaks down in the gut if I remember correctly - but you can confirm this further Felix. Anyway, interesting topic, good video!! Edit: oh lol, I watched the video a bit further and there was ascorbigen already.. lol. Never mind. Your video quality is hard to beat.

What about natural Vitamin C capsules from rose hips & other plants high in natural Vitamin C?

important and timely the problem of suitable excipients used in medicines and supplements that were not considered

Yes. We are to consume the fruit...not one isolated part.

I eat one Grapefruit a day and I’m g getting all the vitamin C 👍

High doses of pure ascorbic acid powder is amazing to use against a lot of conditions. No more cold, influenza or virus infections for days or weeks. With 10-20 grams pr day it’s gone in 1 day depending on getting started treating fast enough, no later than right after symptoms are getting bad. Add some D-mannose, and UTI is also gone in 24-48 hours. It’s a huge advantage to avoid antibiotics.

What’s your opinion on Pureway-C?

can vitamin C supplements cause oxalate issues? just heard this from Sally K Norton (oxalate expert.)

Whenever I take higher doses of Vit C (especially intravenously) I get a weird side effect of anxiety or mental instability. Any ideas on why that is? thanks.

I noticed you mentioned two whole food sources... camu camu and the other one. What do you think of Goji berries as a vitamin-c source? Does it come with good cofactors?

I cant believe how good your videos are. I was also suspicious about ascorbic acid because its made of corn. And it gave me side affects like too bad fatique. Its like all my energy leaves my body. I cant even sit. I have to lay down. I never recommend ascorbic acid made of corn. I tried different brands. Both gave me fatique and dizziness at night.

For some reason I was expecting a straight and clear winner and I finally realized that good science cannot give you a real straight answer, just guidelines. Seems like you're doing your homework right!
