Growing up, we always had a bottle of vitamin C on the kitchen table, conveniently found on the “lazy Susan.”
As I remember, they were chewable, orange-flavored tablets and they were yummy! Taking one with breakfast, along with a multivitamin with minerals was just part of the Bollinger family’s morning routine at breakfast.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning your body can’t produce it.
It confers the following benefits (among many others):
- Helps maintain your skin, bones, and connective tissue
- Promotes wound healing
- Helps with high blood pressure
- Lowers risk of heart disease
- Strengthens immunity
- Helps the body absorb iron
- Potent anti-viral activity.
When we are challenged with a viral infection, our need for vitamin C can rise dramatically, depending on the body’s immune function, level of injury, infection, or environmental toxicity. Vitamin C has been shown to be one of the most potent anti-viral agents, especially to influenza virus, through increased production of IFN-α/β. It can also enhance the production of interferon, which helps prevent cells from being infected by a virus.
In order to function properly, the central nervous system depends upon vitamin C. According to a study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, having adequate vitamin C levels can support brain function.
A study published in the journal Nutrients indicated that vitamin C is needed for optimal immune function. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, which means that it can also fight oxidative stress and keep your cells healthy.
Vitamin C also supports healthy teeth and gums, which are necessary for a healthy digestive system. Vitamin C can also help nourish and support healthy gut bacteria.
There’s little doubt that vitamin C is of great benefit to the human body. However, how you consume vitamin C makes a huge difference in the amount your body is able to absorb and use (a feature of all supplements called “bioavailability”).When taken orally, most of the vitamin C you take (either from food or supplements) isn’t absorbed by the gut. However, liposomal vitamin C is a groundbreaking option for high-dose vitamin C that is the closest thing to “intravenous vitamin C.”
Being wrapped in essential phospholipids, vitamin C is absorbed like dietary fats. This being so, liposomal vitamin C is much better absorbed than traditional vitamin C supplements.
As a matter of fact, liposomal vitamin C is almost as “bioavailable” (absorbable) as IV injections, and it’s much cheaper, more convenient and less invasive.
Thank you for this article. It’s too bad that there are “powers that be” out there that try to keep info away from us on how to stay healthy. They will have to pay for that one day when they meet their maker because Vit C was sent to us by Him (along with a lot of other “healthy” things) to keep us in good health, I’m certain of that, and anyone who tries to tell us different is trying to thwart His plan for us – He will not take kindly to that, I’m sure! I take 1000mg of Vit C daily, just to boost my immune system (along with a lot of other things) and have often wondered, if that virus should come here (there’s only 1 in our state so far), would that be enough protection. With all the other supplements I take, I cannot afford the liposomal form, unfortunately. I’ll have to take my chances with the things I am already doing and being under the mighty hand of God’s protection!
Thank you for your comments. What else do you take besides VC?
Hello Sharon,
We’re also recommending Detoxadine: https://go.globalhealingcenter.com/c/435444/381642/5534?subId1=FB
I hope that helps!
I get my Vitamin C from eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. I never take vitamin C supplements.
Natures way is the best way! Thank you for your comment, Silvia.
PuraThrive is currently WELL BEHIND ON BACK ORDER!!! Please remove the link to purchase their product. I followed the link back on 3/12, paid for 3 bottles of the C – was charged but then told it was on back order. Never offered to refund my money and said it could be 1 week to a month or more to receive it. I paid for expedited shipping as I have a young son that finished his chemotherapy a couple of months back (sadly he started before I knew anything about TTAC) and am deeply concerned about keeping his immune system in check.
Please let us know how many servings per day are in each bottle and how long each bottle will last for the recommended dose.
All of this important information is missing from this PuraThrive product.
Also, as you know, Homeopathic medicine has saved many lives including those of myself and my sister. Why are you featuring an article from Josh Axe who has stated that homeopathy is fake medicine? It could not be further from the truth.
Alice
Hello Alice, thank you so much for your question. I’m not too sure where you came across that information, but Dr. Josh Axe as we know him does not believe that at all. In fact here is an article on his website about the benefits of homeopathic medicine.

We couldn’t advise on the dosage of PuraThrive, this is information they would provide for you. We hope that helps.
Hi again, I just sent you a message, but do not think I will be able to find the answer on your site. Would you be so kind as to email me the information about your PuraThrive Vit C? How many doses in each bottle and recommended daily intake?
Thank you in advance. My email: rocketgirl2000@socal.rr.com
I have bought your complete DVD series “The Truth About Cancer” and referred many people to your site to do the same. Your folks are wonderful.
Best,
Alice

Hello
I’ve just read an article by Forbe that totally discredit the use of Vit C to cure the CV.
He says high doses can cause kidney stones.
He said no evidence in its affectivness to cure flu colds etc
Also that the news about Doctors using Vit C
In China wasn’t true
Who do we believe!
This is the article they link to in the text, from April 2013, that gives you some idea of what scientists have found about vitamin C. It may be more technical than you want to pursue, but one thing to consider when determining who you choose to believe, is “who stands to make money from this information?” Another I like to consider is, “How does nature, or natural systems handle this problem?”

I would recommend anyone interested in learning more about vitamin c (& all vitamins) check out Andrew Saul, a world expert. He is fantastic. Also http://www.doctoryourself.com
I want to start taking Vit. C, as a supplement, although, I think I’m getting enough in the salad and fruit I consume every day. What would you recommend as a safe dose?. I need this info before I purchase this from you as I have to consult with my nephrologist and cardiologist before taking anything that will go against their recommendations. Also, please let me know if ANY ingredients in your Vit. C are sourced from China. Thanx in advance for your reply.
Ty & Charlene – Thanks for the great insights you and your staff always provide for me and your readers. SR
Dear Ty, I have been following you for quite a while and find your letter recommendations so helpful although I live in the UK in Warwickshire ever since my wife was diagnosed with cancer I found your programme and mail very helpful and now she is diagnosed with myeloma and had a stemcell transplant although she went through a very sick and trying time she is still under treatment by the haematologist and is on a slow road to recovery Ty I keep reading your Emails and concerns researchers and programmes from other doctors and specialists in your publishing’s and will continue to do so my spouse has been on treatment for 3 months now and always talk about the severe chemo she had in prep for the stemcell transplant so I thank you for your guidance in understanding Cancers Regards
