ACEROLA CHERRY
One of the world’s greatest superfoods, acerola cherries have incredibly high levels of all natural vitamin C, are a powerhouse of antioxidants, and a superior dose of carotenoids such as beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and lutein.
REAL VS SYNTHETIC VITAMIN C
So how do you know if the bottle sitting at your local health food store or on your kitchen counter contains synthetic vitamin C? Look at the list of ingredients. If it doesn’t contain real food like Acerola cherry powder, it is almost certainly a synthetic form of vitamin C.
Most vitamin C and multivitamin supplements contain ascorbic acid or ascorbate, which is the outer ring that surrounds the real vitamin C complex.
Real Vitamin C is a complex of several different factors; Real vitamin C must include rutin, bioflavonoids, Factor K, Factor J, Factor P, Tyrosinase, Ascorbinogen, and other components. In addition, mineral co-factors must be available in proper amounts. All of which work together in synergy within the body, to keep our teeth and gums healthy: Prevent hair loss, and premature aging and disease, among many other health benefits.
What the average vitamin taker needs to understand is that vitamins cannot be isolated from their complexes and still perform their specific life functions within the human body’s cells. When isolated into artificial commercial forms, like ascorbic acid, and sodium or calcium ascorbate, these purified synthetics act as drugs in the body, and are highly acidic.
High levels of ascorbic acid consumption can produce a number of unpleasant symptoms, including diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, vomiting, headaches, kidney stones, and tooth decay.
Therefore: most synthetic vitamin C supplements are artificially buffered by attaching a calcium or sodium ion to the ascorbic acid (producing calcium or sodium ascorbate) to neutralize the acidity, in an attempt to diminish the unpleasant symptoms of consuming artificial Vitamin C
Over 90% of ascorbic acid in the USA is manufactured at a facility in Nutley, New Jersey, owned by Hoffman-LaRoche, one of the world’s biggest drug manufacturers. Here ascorbic acid is made from a process involving cornstarch and volatile acids.
Most U.S. vitamin companies then buy the bulk ascorbic acid from this single facility. After that, marketing takes over. Each company makes its own labels, its own claims, and its own formulations, each one claiming to have the superior form of vitamin C, even though it all came from the same place, and it’s really not vitamin C at all.
