I love this vitamin C

I love this vitamin C! Viva Naturals is one of the only companies I have found that sells non-GMO Vitamin C in capsule form. For me, capsules disperse into my bloodstream more readily. I learned the benefits of taking vitamin C early on in my life, so when all else failed, I upped my vitamin C intake. Fortunately, I also discovered Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD's books on the importance of taking high dose vitamin C to prevent heart disease, cancer and other health problems~especially since I am a person who has had a lot of surgeries from broken bones and dental work involving root canals, silver amalgam fillings, and porcelain plated nickel crowns. I had to learn the hard way that I am very allergic to metals. Many people don't even know that most porcelain crowns have nickel in them). I didn't. (Dr. Thomas Levy's website is: peakenergy.com) I presently take 8 grams 4 times a day spacing the time from 8:00 AM to 8:00PM. I take my doses of vitamin C with food to prevent what Dr. Levy calls the "bowel effect." He says there is no worry as to how much vitamin C one can take, but there can be a bowel effect which is why I space my dosages and take them with a small healthy meal without wheat or sugar. A number of my doctors over the years have told me that taking high dose vitamin C has saved my life. I already knew it to be true. Because vitamin C is an antioxidant, it has also had anti-aging effects on me too, keeping me young, vibrant & full of energy. I have tried a lot of different brands of vitamin C but this high quality non-GMO vitamin C with bioflavonoids & rose hips in capsule form is my favorite. In my opinion, vitamin C is the best health protection there is and it combines with other natural medicinals without worry of side effects. I have no intention of ever stopping my life long habit of taking high doses of vitamin C. In 1970 Linus Pauling won the Nobel prize for his research on vitamin C. See his book: Vitamin C and the Common Cold. Vitamin C works the miracle! Big Pharma be dammed

Scars and liver spots say good bye at 53 years of age

As a diabetic of 43 years, I've done pretty well. I can still see and pee and have all my feet and toes. I recently learned how high dose vitamin C can get rid of those age spots that mar our complexion as we get older. I had a big dark spot on my face go away and today I looked down at my feet and one of two scars was gone and the other was going. They had been there for several years. and They say diabetics don't heal well. Our bodies need Vitamin C to make collagen and to keep our skin healthy we all need more than the RDA, but Diabetics even more so. Diabetics use up our vitamin C quicker than most other people and it is a strong anti-oxidant. Even though I am doing fairly well, I did have a heart attack 10 years ago. My arteries were brittle and since I wasn't taken vitamin C at that time, my body didn't have the materials to repair and keep my arteries flexible. I take this C and I also take another Liposomal Vitamin C 1:1. I have taken up to 40,000 mg in a day spread out throughout the course of the day. Like 2,000 and hour. No ill effects and with some pleasant surprises such as I described

Helped alleviate my allergies!

Someone suggested I take vitamin c to help my allergies since I could no longer take my antihistamine. I was already taking a gummy vitamin c and was doubtful but did some research and decided to give this more organic and higher dosage a try and YES it made a huge difference for me. I had very bad hives and sneezing from an overactive immune system and I would get relief for several hours from the high potency vitamin c. Not all vitamins are on the same playing field. I highly recommend this brand

The jury is still out on the benefits of ascorbic acid vs whole food Vit C

The more I learn about nutrition and health the better decisions I make. I used to buy pure Ascorbic Acid from walgreens or wherever. Later I learned that it likely comes from GMO corn and it has no Bioflavanoids to aid absorption. So I upgraded to Viva Labs and thought I had the good stuff. I've learned recently that Ascorbic Acid is a synthetic formula and that it's not Vitamin C. Vitamin C actually consists of like 6 different working parts and the only way to get it is from whole food or a whole food supplement. The analogy I heard is from Morley Robbins, a well-respected alternative healthcare practitioner, who says that Vitamin C is like a car, and ascorbic acid is just the shell, no engine, no wheels. What he says is that taking ascorbic acid will lower the ceruloplasmin levels in your body and eventually lead to copper deficiency and cause all sorts of problems. And think about it, is corn really where you want to be deriving your Vitamin C from? Camu-camu, acerola, kiwi, etc... this is where to get it. Of course, it's much more expensive to get the whole food real stuff. The cheapest I found was NOW brands Acerola. This one has a teeny tiny bit of added ascorbic acid, which is negative, but it's a lot cheaper than the rest. Next option up is to buy Acerola or Camu-Camu powder. The pink powders are better than the brown as they were processed at lower heat. Next option up is actual whole food vitamin C supplements. Look for them made by Innate Response, MegaFood, Health Force, Alive!, Pure Radiance, Standard Process, and I'm sure there are others. I'd stay away from the cheap corn-derived stuff

Best Beauty Pill Vitamin C Ever!!!

Best brand of vitamin C I ever had!!! I bought these to improve skin complexion and immune system. I guess what they say is true about vitamin C being a beauty vitamin because ever since I bought these taking them faithfully everyday my skin has been sooo flawless and glowy. I hardly get sick and when I do it went away fast which shows a great improvement in my immune system. For the price you sure get a lot and its a big bottle too!!! I took a chance and bought two and I'm glad I did. When I run out I'm planning on buying more. This is a must have in my life. I take these with a multi vitamin everyday

Love the capsule form, and perfect size dosage!

I was so pleased to find a quality Vitamin C supplement in capsule form (I really don't care for those tart chewables), and I think the dosage size is great. I've been taking one 1000 mg capsule a day for a couple months. I got a little busy recently, and was taking them sporadically. After a long Labor Day weekend I somehow ended up with a cold. I woke up with a sore throat and sniffles...oh no. I took 4 capsules (4000 mg) a day, and knocked out the cold in three days. I would definitely recommend these, and I think a great value for this huge bottle

Best purchase, excellent choice! Highly recommend!

Perfect! The Victory Labs Vitamin C ended up being the perfect choice for me! I had surgery yesterday, and while trying to prep for it, I had to stop taking my muscle relaxers 2 weeks prior. Within 3 days, I could barely move. I purchased a bottle of Collagen and it recommended taking it with vitamin C for absorption. I think I read every label, hoping to get the best product for the money. The reviews For Viva Labs were great! I also based my decision for the Non-GMO product. I am very impressed with my results, and will continue to buy this product!

The Best There Is

This is the best Vitamin C currently available, and at a very competitive price. You used to be able to get pharmaceutical grade ascorbic acid from Hoffmann-La Roche, and that is actually what this is. Roche sold their vitamin business to the company that makes this product, in Scotland, and Viva Labs brings it to the retail market. ALL other Vitamin C comes from China now, regardless of the brand, and is made from GMO corn. There is only one remaining manufacturer of Vitamin C left in the West, and that is what is in this bottle. It is guaranteed GMO-free. Excellent product, highly recommended
