Vitamin C is manufactured internally from glucose by a four-step process, each requiring a specific enzyme. Humans have the first three enzymes but the fourth is damaged and non functional apparently from a genetic mutation that occurred
in our distant ancestors. It seems that we really have a species wide genetic disease. Perhaps fixing this genetic defect should be a primary goal for the genetic engineers of thisThere is a fifth step in vitamin C cycle, the conversion of ascorbic acid into mineral ascorbates in the liver. The price of vitamin C deficiency is staggering. with the enzyme can live 8-10 times their maturity age. Mammals without it have a hard time living to 3-4 times their maturity age. Theoretically, using this comparison, humans might live to an age of 300 years if they had this missing enzyme. Humans have more cardiovascular disease and arthritis than other mammals. Humans are also more susceptible to viruses and infections than animals with their own vitamin C. What does vitamin C do for us? There are more than ten thousand published scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process and not one disease or syndrome that is not influenced by vitamin C.
Vitamin C is particularly known for these functions: The FDA recommendation for vitamin C consumption is 70 mg.This is the amount that prevents the manifestation of the worst symptoms of scurvy. Is this enough for optimum health? Compare this with the amounts generated internally by otherAdjusting for weight and comparing to a typical human body, a rat produces the equivalent of 2,737 - 13,902 mg per day, a rabbit produces the equivalent of 1,547 - 15,820 mg per day, etc. While opinions vary, some suggest that dosages as high as 20,000 mg. Per day may be optimal. Linus Pauling took 18,000 mg. Per day. needs vary according to body chemistry, stress, exposure to toxins and illness and injury. In laboratory tests of vitamin C absorption and excretion more than 50% of the population required over 2,500 mg to reach maximum absorption. There is also the question of what form of vitamin C isMost vitamin C products are in the form of ascorbic acid.
do not tolerate sizable doses of ascorbic acid taken orally very well. The acid form of vitamin C may be desirable if one is trying to reduce heavy metal levels, acidify the urine to reduce kidney stones of the type that form from urine that is too alkaline or help reduce urinary tract infections. In most other circumstances, the buffered mineral ascorbate form of vitamin C is preferred. The ascorbates do not acidify the system, upset the stomach or acidify the urine. They also deliver some essential minerals to the body in a very absorbable and usable form. The ascorbates should be in the form of salts of calcium, magnesium, potassium and other essential minerals rather than sodium. receive an excess of sodium in their diets but are deficient in essential minerals. Other forms are available on the market such as ester C andSo far, my research into the literature has failed to produce any evidence that these other forms of C are more desirable.
An exception exists when it is desirable to acidify theCertain types of kidney stones and urinary calculi are formed in an alkaline environment and are dissolved by acid urine. Another exception is when ascorbic acid is being used as a chelating agent or as a synergist to other chelating agents. In this case, ascorbic acid is able to bind to heavy metal ions. The preferred form of Vitamin C for most individuals is the buffered mineral ascorbate form. Several companies sell the ascorbate form of vitamin C. Mag C is a product from Vitamin Research Products that is the magnesium salt of vitamin C. This makes it a very absorbable form of both vitamin C and magnesium. Many other forms of magnesium, including some commonly used in supplements, are difficult to absorb. is a powder blend of ascorbic acid crystals and mineral carbonates. When mixed with water or juice, the ascorbic acid reacts with the mineral carbonates forming mineral ascorbates
