Question--Vitamin C is Vitamin C isn’t it? Answer--- NO it may well chemically analyse the same but modern manufactured Vitamin C is vastly different when it comes to availability in the body. Using the figure of 60 mg as the Recommended Daily Allowance. Absorption of synthetically manufactured Vitamin C can be as low as 12.5% and a naturally sourced Vitamin C food supplement absorption can be as high as 100%! These figures are from the US Department of Agriculture. So an inexpensive container of 60 Vitamin C (60 mg per tablet) tablets from the supermarket or pharmacy (typically £2.99p) will give an absorbed Vitamin C amount of approximately 12.5% that is 7.5 mg of Vitamin C. This of course means to obtain the Recommended Daily Allowance of 60 mg you will need to take 8 tablets, this means your Vitamin C of 60 mg daily will cost you 0.40p per day, and one tub of Vitamin C (60 tablets) will last 7.5 days! So for the equivalent amount to GNLD’s Sustained Release Vitamin C, of 200 mg (333% RDA) naturally sourced Vitamin C, you would need to take 27 tablets per day at a cost of £1.35p! GNLD’s Sustained Release Vitamin C gives 200 mg per tablet at a cost of 0.14p per tablet. In order to obtain the same quantity of vitamin C from the cheaper variety the cost now soars to a staggering £162.00, you will have taken 3240 tablets (as opposed to 120)the majority of which disappears down the toilet! A further disadvantage of the synthetically manufactured variety is that it does not contain any of the natural phytonutrients that are present in the Vitamin C provided by nature in food and GNLD in their food supplements. But probably the most disturbing fact is that synthetic vitamins can actually cause harm when taken in large doses! Under laboratory conditions when a light is passed through a natural vitamin, extracted from food it bends to the left. These are the vitamins that are supplied by nature in food, and are the vitamins you are supposed to get. The same light passed through a synthetically manufactured vitamin bends to the right, these are the vitamins manufactured in a chemical facility and as your body doesn’t recognise them as being beneficial much of the content is rejected and passes through your body without being absorbed. As will be seen from the above cheap is not always the cheapest and is certainly not the best in terms of what your body requires to keep you healthy!
