Vitamin C Forum

Posted: **Wed Dec 19, 2018 10:50 am**

I've been on the protocol for 8 months. Now I am wondering if what I am taking is best. Been taking Natures Way Vit. C. in capsules.

https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Vitamin-1000-Capsules/dp/B003B3OOS2/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1545237579&sr=8-4&keywords=natures%2Bway%2Bvit%2Bc%2B1000mg&th=1

Question #1.

When looking at purchasing Cardio C (which is obviously recommended on this forum, I see that each scoop contains 2,500 mg of C, 2,500 mg of Lysine, and 500 mg proline.

If I only want to take the recommended maximum dosage of lysine (6,000) and proline (2,000), yet I want to take the upper recommended dosage of 18,000 mg of C - how does one do that with Cardio C? If I took 7 scoops of Cardio C to get the 18,000 mg, I WOULD ALSO BE GETTING 18,000 mg of Lysine, which is not recommended.

Question # 2
What's wrong with the capsules I've been taking (listed above)? They are convenient, easy to swallow, and I can take as many as I want independent of lysine and proline.

Question #3

What's wrong with Vitamin C from China? I like Chinese food.

Thanks for anyone's responses.

Good questions.

So how are you feeling on the product you have been taking for 8 months? What about lysine?

True. We don't recommend more than 2 or 3 scoops daily of a Pauling therapy product. The rest of the vitamin C dosage can be added separately - either via capsules, or adding vitamin C powder to the drink mix.

Note: We know of one case (the brother of Tower Lab's founder who started with 5 servings per day (5 jars per month) of Heart Technology, which equals 10,000 mg of additional lysine - with no reports of a problem.)

Most people (heart patients) seem to get better quickly on the basic therapy - 5-6 grams of lysine and 5-6 grams vitamin C.

You tell us (me). I am not familiar with that product, but I agree that capsules are generally an excellent alternative to the powder/drink mixes - because of all the fillers in that many tablets/pills.

What has your experience been? (One major brand I trust is NatureMade..)

There are large ISO manufacturers in China that produce excellent vitamin C, which is a good thing since most (almost ALL) vitamin C is manufactured in China.

In the beginning, we had no products, and people would continually ask us what vitamin C was "best." We then decided to offer what we thought was the best (Then USA based Roche vitamin C. The company and plant had produced vitamin C since the 1930s. We have ultimate faith in this product. That doesn't mean there aren't other excellent products. And now DSM (formerly Roche) makes vitamin C in China too, but they assure as that if the brand is Quali-C - it is made in their Darby Scotland plant.

We are a small business. It turns out there is a niche of people who simply do not like buying Chinese goods, fearing quality issues. We reported on the MaltoMeal recall, where the Chinese vitamin C being used for to extend shelf life was found to be contaminated with some chemical, perhaps anti-freeze? (Johnwen pointed out how the mandarin symbol for this chemical was almost identical to the correct chemical that should have been used.)
