The Truth About Vitamin C


Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but when it is in an isolated and/or synthetic form, it is quite poorly absorbed and can actually adversely affect our health. According to one human study, 1500 mg (total) of isolated and/or synthetic vitamin C per day can cause iron deficiency and anemia.

Most of the isolated and/or synthetic vitamin C consumed is unused by the body. What’s worse, it puts a negative strain on your liver and kidneys to excrete it, and it is quite acid forming in the body. If a vitamin C is an ingredient of a product, it is synthetic and/or isolated. If it is naturally contained in the ingredient, it is naturally occurring (as it is in our product)! Ascorbic Acid and Calcium Ascorbate are synthetic/isolated forms of Vitamin C. “Ester-C” has a few elements added back to an isolated vitamin C molecule and is therefore more absorbable than Ascorbic Acid or Calcium Ascorbate. However, Truly Natural Vitamin C has all of the naturally occurring elements synergistically present and bonded (including naturally occurring bioflavonoids) because it is 100% food (100% Acerola Cherry Powder). Other products sometimes give the illusion of being totally or partially whole food products, but in reality, they actually are not. There are many “Vitamin C with rose hips and acerola” type products out there. Every one of those products we have seen has a very small amount of rose hips and/or acerola (which are plants naturally high in absorbable vitamin C) with a whopping amount of synthetic and/or isolated Vitamin C! Vitamin C mixed with whole foods is not the same as vitamin C contained in whole foods. The superfoods added “on the side” are good for you, but not the main ingredients or the supplement as a whole! Get your Vitamin C the way nature truly intended!
