Flu Relief: NOW Supplements, Vitamin C-1,000 with Rose Hips

Best thing for your body

Great value! If you do the research you will find that ascorbic acid is the best form of C. Although Liposomal C (mixed with oil/fat) is the most bio-available it's also way too expensive. There are many other types of C in the form of sodium ascorbates, but this is the best and least expensive. The main "trick" is to always take it with fat of some kind, i.e. butter, coconut oil, etc. I take one with breakfast and one with lunch along with my B complex and D3/K2, Fish Oil, and Probiotic. Ever since I was a kid I had a weak immune system (low white blood cell). Every year I'd get very sick 3-4 times a year with strep, swollen-glands, and the Flu. My old doctor always tried to get me to take a Flu shot and I never did, and I just dealt with getting sick. Now I have a holistic doctor and see a nutritionist - best decision of my life! I try to avoid inflammatory foods and take my vitamins. For the past three years, I have not gotten sick like I used to at all! It's amazing! I will very rarely get a cold, and only if I am around someone who is deathly ill, but it will only last a couple days and is made much better by taking 4 tablets of C a day and drinking Tea with honey/lemon. This revelation is a life-changer! Do you know that they sometimes give cancer patients Vitamin C intravenously? If you want to know more about how to change your health and your life for the better, check out Dr. Mercola's website, see a certified nutritionist (covered by insurance), and ditch your drug-dealing health "practitioner" for a holistic medical care professional (also covered by insurance). Side note: Almost every single American is low in D3 (abundant in grass-fed fats/organ meats)/K2 (abundant in dark leafy greens) and if you drink milk like I do, your Calcium levels are way too high (which also lowers D3/K2) and THAT is the reason for arterial calcification aka Hardening of the Arteries, and Heart Disease (along with eating processed and fried foods that contain insane amounts of carcinogenic oxidized vegetable oils ). Vitamin K and D keep your calcium from leeching out of your bones, so if your high in Calcium and low in D3/K2, the calcium is literally pulled into your blood vessels. If you take statins, it's even worse! Best thing you can do is to know your numbers! Get a blood test and demand to know your vitamin and inflammation levels

My brother was right

Picked up a bad Flu that relapsed when I returned to work after 10 days sick leave. It started all over again and just wouldn't go away even after several visits to my doctor and several rounds of prescription drugs. I shared my problem with an older brother who lives abroad and he just had a good laught at me before boasting that he hadn't had a cold or Flu for over 30 years. What's his secret? Vitamin C. "Get C-1000 with Rose hips time released," he said. "Take about 6,000 miligrams per day. That's what they taught me in the army [Jamaican Army]" I followed his advice for a week and it worked. I am down to about 2,000 miligrams per day now for protection and I am telling all my friends with the Flu about it

Vitamin C…great for living

In this day and age, I am shocked that the media doesn't tout the benefits of Vitamin C more. So easy to take, cheap and safe. I am now on permanent daily Vitamin C. Every person in the world should be supplementing with it. Last year, I suffered through a nasty cold during the summer and vowed that it would not happen to me again this year. I searched for homeopathic ways to prevent/combat common viruses (cold, influenza) and was amazed how often Vitamin C was mentioned. Not only that, but it could cut the duration of cold/Flu in HALF when taking megadoses of Vitamin C with few side effects! That's as good as Tamiflu! Without the horrible side effects. The worst side effect I could find info on for Vitamin C overdose was diarrhea. Seems pretty minor compared to the side effects of RX drugs. I want to be prepared if/when the next Flu/cold outbreak hits and I feel confident that I am now. I keep extra bottles in case I do become ill and will need to megadose every hour. If you don't believe me on the benefits, just Google "Vitamin C cold Flu megadose" and read all about it. I cannot believe I am just now learning all this and wanted to share this information. As for the NOW product, it was exactly as described and I have no complaints about the product. As always, their supplements are superior. I like the sustained release aspect of these tablets as well. Be sure to take it with food, as it digests and absorbs better that way. I am totally pleased :

Excellent Vitamin C

I take one of the Vitamin C tablet per day and I did not get sick at all this winter. Usually I would either catch the Flu or cold at least once or twice. Glad I found these

Great price and it works!

This vitamin C is a great price and has helped tremendously in warding off the cold. Before I started taking one tablet a day, I used to catch EVERY cold my toddler brought home from daycare and I would be sick for 2 weeks straight with a sore throat, cough and congestion. When my toddler caught his last cold and I felt I was coming down with it as well, I upped my dosage to two tablets per day and I was amazed that I barely caught anything! My husband and i will continue taking this, especially during the Flu season that's coming. This vitamin is so inexpensive and easy on the stomach, it's worth a try to see if it will keep the illnesses away

Take that Vitamin C

I had a really bad cold/flue that relapsed when I returned to work after taking a full week of sick leave. It started all over again and just wouldn't go away even after several visits to my doctor. I mentioned this to my uncle, who's also a doctor, and he suggested that I do two things. Take tons of vitamin C and also take Zinc. I followed this advice for a week and it worked. I am Flu free, back to work and feeling great. I think I normally will prefer the Orange juice route, but these capsules get you plenty of the vitamins you need and at a pretty good price

NOW is GOOD

I've been using this for months and I love it. It served me well when I contracted the Flu that Flu thru this family. Both my spouse and child got a severe case of it. The kid's still recovering. I felt bad on Tues, with chills, fever and aches. Slept through Tues until 9 am Wed which is unusual because I wake b4 dawn. Wed, I was about 50%. Thursday up to 70% and today I'm close to 95%. I took about 8 a day through the ordeal. Now, I always take at least 1 a day during the year. When it's Flu season, I'll add another for the afternoon. When I feel any sort of anomaly, I'll increase the dose. I also take echinacea with goldenseal 2 per day. I believe these two and of course eating healthy promotes good living

I got these cause I wanted to boost my immune system, these are great quality powerful vitamin C, this will get rid of your seasonal cold or Flu much faster just take 2 of these in the am and pm, also vitamin C is a fantastic chelating agent that can collect toxic heavy metals out of your body, get your vitamin C before our government bans all vitamins and supplements, they are trying to ban these wonderful vitamins with their Codex Alimentarius tyranny, I hope more people oppose the government banning our vitamins and supplements, great product

Excellent Product for Colds.

These vitamin c's are excellent. Our whole family depends on this whenever anyone is coming down with a cold. The Now brand seems to work better than most, although I am not sure why. I do know that on multiple occasions, when I was starting to feel a cold/Flu come on, I would take one of these every 3 or 4 hours and the next day I was fine. I haven't gotten any cold since taking these. My take is that it does the job and does it well
