62shalaka This is indeed very healthy. Just make sure you drink it while eating something as well to stimulate the saliva. Otherwise you risk demineralising teeth which from personal experience is very damaging.
Citrus juice daily is only going to possibly increase your risk of tooth decay (depending on your saliva buffering capacity) and at worst give you enamel erosion. Enamel erosion leads to cold sensitivity and also works with bad habits like bruxism (grinding) and abrasion (hard toothbrushing ususlly along the gumline) to make those habits much worse in a shorter amount of time.

Thank-you very informative. After years of research I've come to the conclusion Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, kale, kiwi, orange juice, papaya, red, green or yellow pepper, sweet potato, strawberries, and tomatoes.
I have learned so, so many things over the past year and one of the things I thought I knew the most about was Vitamin C. I was dead wrong, and honestly, it feels like my life (not literally) was a lie. This is a shock, a punch to the gut to say the least...
The highest natural source of vitamin C on the planet comes from Camu Camu Berry. From my experiences experimenting with various forms and dosages of vitamin C, I find that a combination of the aforementioned berry, in addition to consuming ascorbic acid (taken several times throughout the day) provides the most perceivable benefits.
You are so AMAZING with giving us health/ medicinal self awareness.. I mean I never knew what should be in the Vitamin C! And what should not for that matter!!
Acerola Cherry, Camu Camu, and about four other fruits, are higher in vitamin c than any of the foods you mentioned. And this is why I consume a mixture of Acerola Cherry, Camu Camu and Baobab regularly.
@@innosanto absolutely agreed. Plus it would give you diarrhea before you'd hit the levels of vitamin C often used in the studies. However, the studies typically are based on ascorbic acid, and not a natural form of vitamin C. Here's what I do, I take lower levels of Camu as 1 tsp day which is maybe 700 mg (sometimes, when I remember, I'll take this twice a day). This isn't too costly at about $35/lb. Then, when I feel something coming on, or I get sick, I take high doses of ascorbic acid as 6, 000 - 12,000 mg/day in divided doses. The Gerson diet recommends drinking 1 large glass (8 ounces) of freshly squeezed orange juice per day as part of the cancer protocol. That's 125-135 mg vitamin C. It also provides another 200 mg or so in the subsequent 8 glasses of carrot/apple juices. In all, you're getting maybe 325 mg of fresh vitamin C per day. I think fresh vitamin C is far more bioavailable than the other forms, with natural vitamin C powder being a far 2nd. But there is still no doubt ascorbic acid can play a critical roll in reversing disease too, especially acute conditions.
@@L.J.01 I used to take vita C slow release ascorbic acid (not natural ) 3g a day excluding nutrition, and it was great for my adhd, in conjunction with other things I did at the period (super cold showers 5 minutes each). I think cold showers, together with b vitamins increased my norepinephrine and vita C slowed the degradation of norepinephrine in the brain and led to alleviation of the symptoms since it appears that my ADHD was because of NE. But it gave me kidney stones!!!! Then I looked up and it seemed that natural forms do not lead to kidney stones, so I was interested, and I think that Linus Pauling also got Vita C in great amounts through Camu Camu and not artificial ways. But it appeared that I couldn't afford this! What you write is interesting and maybe I will follow some of this stuff. However Linus Pauling institute states that there is no difference in the bioavailability of ascorbid acid, as far as where it is procured is concerned, whether artificially or naturally. However, the kidney stone thing if it is so would make a great difference.
I read Linus Pauling account of how vita c works and have used it for 12 yrs now for reducing blood pressure and general health. I have had a fair reduction in blood pressure and gave not had the flu and few colds during this time. Dosage is 6 gms or more of c, 6 gms of lysine, 1 gm of proline, a mineral supplement. My o2 level is 100%. My weight is reasonable, I like beer, and I feel good. I'm 71. Thanks.

What kind of vitamin c do yall take? With that high of a dosage I assume it's still asorbic acid? Im having trouble finding a reasonably priced naturally sourced vitamin C. I got some acerola cherry powder before but it hardened and turned into a sticky mess even though moisture never got in the bag. So it doesnt seem stable for long term use.
I have used thousands of grams of the cheapest ascorbic acid(China) in my animal patients with outstandings results. I have done this for many years with no problems at all. I have also used it on myself and my family for years with only great results.
how many thousands? how often and for how long? what brand or brands do you buy? is it loaded with ascorbic acid as dr. berg mentions? what does the bottle say? thank you :)
I have seen your name before and I think a couple of times we may have even chatted but I have not seen any comments by you in the past few months . But great name by the way . The two highest sources right now of vitamin C are KAKADU PLUM which is the highest and that's mostly grown in Australia . The second highest amount is AMLA FRUIT which is also called INDIAN GOOSEBERRY . If you can get these in their fresh forms that's really wonderful and if not you can at least usually get the Indian gooseberry at most Indian grocers in powdered form . Now they're saying Camu Camu is not worth it for vitamin C because the vitamin C in it is not stable and not as strong as they thought . I also like ascorbyl palmitate which is the fat-soluble vitamin C as it stays in the fatty tissue and the skin and will make the skin even tone and bleach out freckles or redness or dark circles under the eyes . Whenever I've been taking ascorbyl palmitate regularly I don't get sunburned and I no longer need to wear sunblock .
@@gardensofthegods very helpful ... in trying to decide what kind of C to buy I go crazy ... with hesperides, with bioflanoids, without ascorbic, from nature, from labs, twice now because of radically different pricing I just left the health food store confused ... can we trust amla powder not to be pesticide ridden from India?

What if the reason why people feel such long-lasting lethargy after recovering from COv1d is because they took high amounts of synthetic vitamin C in an attempt to boost the immune system. Taking high amounts according to Dr. Berg here would then result in a deficiency in the vitamin C complex, which includes vitamin J. The vitamin J deficiency may then be the reason why energy levels do not return even when the person tests negative and recovers. Just a hunch?
Markus Rothkranz is there a current ongoing debate about ascorbic acid vs vitamin c complex in the literature? Many MDs have used IV therapy of ascorbic acid for decades and still do clinically. Many viewers have some scientific thinking skills and understand the gold standard of rare scientific consensus on an issue such as this. Are you saying the IV ascorbic docs are committing malpractice and harming patients? Is there a standard of care on it?
gee whiz and here i thought you knew what you were talking about. only ascorbate or liposomal vitamin c should be used, never ascorbic acid, all of which is artificial, not made from food and therefore not recognized by the body. dum dum
Winifred... Synthetic doesn't mean artificial. Ascorbic acid is the same substance as naturally created ascorbate within 99% of all animals. It is chemically identical in every atom and in the layout of those atoms. That means it is exactly the same molecule of ascorbate made by a cow, a rat, your dog or cat. Most all the clinical efficacy showing the benefits of vitamin C in fighting disease and toxins is done using cheap, synthetic ascorbic acid.
So easy to get confused the Vitamin C I take is from calcium ascorbate with citrus bioflavonoids. It says it is uniquely non acidic. It also has Quercetin. So much to learn!
Great video, but I didn't really understand. Can you please explain in plain English, what is the proper vitamin C to take? What do I look for on the label of the product?
@@user-iu3cy2tx3c Right, but he says to look for the one that is not more than 100 mg or doesn’t have a high amount of it AND includes the other parts that make up the complex; Bioflavonoids, Vitamin J, Copper.

In the case of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, the L-form is the form most active in nature. For some of vitamin C’s known effects, the D-form has little to no activity, and for other effects the D-form has significant activity, although not typically to the extent that the L-form shows activity. Basically, the vitamin C that is derived from natural sources is the L-form. However, the synthetic form of vitamin C can be either the L-form, the D-form, or both. Properly assaying the product determines whether any D-form is present. But just because vitamin C is synthetic does not mean it is the D-form.
Vitamin C comes in many forms. The primary form is Ascorbic acid which is very stable which is not efficiently absorbed above 500 mg. Dehydroascorbic acid is unstable at room tempurature yet with high uptake via Glut1 transporter into the blood. Then last is Threonic acid which is beginning to be investigated. The cofactors Vitamin P, copper....allow the Ascorbate to catalyze to these other forms. If you have some knowledge of chemistry you can convert Ascorbate with copper ions to Dehydroascorabate. Dehydroascorbate will literally make you feel euphoric, it will make your skin glow, your head will be clear. Dehydroascorbate is unique in that it crosses the blood brain barrier.
Perhaps you could contact Dr Berg to turn your "knowledge" into a form that can be easily understood... he's so great at sharing something complex in a humble way.
Whenever I notice the first symptom of a cold ( my case: sore throat) I take a tablespoon of pure ascorbic acid with a glass of water and repeat it every 20 to 30 minutes until I have diarrhea( VC flush ). With this, I haven’t had a cold for any more than 3 hours in the last 10 years.
Exactly, that's because it is the real synthetic vitamin C better known as L-Ascorbic Acid. In the 1930s, Dr. Claus W. Jungblut, an early pioneer of vitamin C therapy, discovered that only primates and guinea pigs were susceptible to scurvy and anaphylactic shock, pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheritic intoxication, a poliomyelitis-like viral infection and a viral form of leukemia. None of the vitamin C synthesizing laboratory animals had susceptibility to these diseases. You see that is something you will never hear Berg talk about Why? Because he is a con man,... Why do I say that? Because anybody that does 10 videos on YT telling people that Ascorbic Acid is poison and that they should get the whole Vitamin C Complex instead clearly doesn't have a clue as to what Ascorbic Acid is. There are over 80 years of backed-up scientific research done on Ascorbic Acid, and yet this DC doesn't tell his band of worshipers here on YT any of the information on just what AA really does instead he gives them the big pharma treatment.
My brothers and I used to do choline chloride liquid when we were in college but I hear they've stopped the liquid but you can still get in a powder or you can try getting inositol which I think is basically the same thing.. . Most importantly its brain food and remember anything that keeps the brain physically young helps also to slow down or even reverse aging of the skin and vice versa
Sauerkraut (and other fermented vegetables) are really high in vitamin c (plus good bacteria and enzymes 😊) Love Dr. Berg‘s videos! He really is consistent. 👍💕
From my research, and feel free to correct me if I m wrong, P-factor is another name for citrus bioflavonoids, J-factor is another name for Choline (also known as Vitamin J), K-factor is another name for Vitamin k-7, and the copper s known as tyrosine (or copper-tyrosine)... From my understanding, if someone wanted to purchase each complex separate they could do so using these terms.
There isn't any appreciable amount of choline or vitamin k in oranges. There is however copper. I'll take copper supps with C then. You are supposed to take copper without most other supps as they can impede absorption
What are your thoughts on sources like chlorella and wheat grass? 1tsp of chlorella powder provides 130% DLV. And I also get the same amount from food source.
I will say one thing about Chlorella that we all should be aware of: It helps eliminate heavy metals...... and we ALL have heavy metals in us unfortunately
I love Dr. Berg how he explains things and he makes it easier for us to understand him.thank you. And I eat a Lots of hot peppers I grew some of them in my backyard ( gardens ) hot Thais peppers very hot and tasty. You are truly God sent. God bless you and your family.🙏🙏🙏
This is one video where I have to disagree with his assessment of ascorbic acid. Animals who's bodies naturally produce ascorbic acid produce a lot in a day. They don't need these other factors he's talking about. It's just pure ascorbic acid. An average sized goat produces at least 13 grams a day when they are healthy and unstressed, and much more than that if they are stick or stressed. So to say that high doses are never found in nature isn't exactly true. There are many thousands of studies and case studies written up by holistic docs showing high-dose vitamin C therapy is extremely beneficial for a number of conditions.
Animals that are often experimented on for human medical purposes do make ascorbic acid though...not just goats. I'm curious as to where Dr Berg got his info from for this video. Studies aren't always of good quality but are there even any studies supporting this? All I can see are links to his shop. @@eveningsciarabba2129

Dr. Berg, "C" has been my most used vitamin. But after listening to your talk, I'm wary of too much sugar, but I am going to eat kiwi, peppers, and papaya, because I do have spider veins I've been fooled by the so called high doses of "C". I drink ACV and love it. This is key for me. Thanks.
Thank you. I've been taking 1 pill of "vitamin c" (abscorbic acid 1000 mg) per day, for a couple years and I started having, spider veins on my legs, my leg veins are getting visible and I have a tingling / heat sensation on them that I didn't used to before, also there is no history of varicose veins in the women of my family. It has to be this! I just threw the bottle away and will only take vitamin c from food.
Dr. Berg, Could you possibly do an updated video for recommendations for Vitamin C supplementation? Primarily around benefits around respiratory infections 🙏🏻
Have you reviewed Linus Pauling's research on vitamin C and large dose Vitamin C in terms of curing all kinds of illness? Seems like this is needed before trying to redirect people from using ascorbic acid.
If you notice here on YT all the misinformation is being accepted (by most Chiropractors which is what Berg is a DC) without question simply because Standard Process says it. But SP is wrong about this, which has created doubt in my mind about their other ideas and products.
Nop,lemon is very good but for vitamin c there are green paper and sweet lime are better options than lemon as I have read many of natural doctors videos like this one.
well actually none of it is true Yeah they used limes, they still suffered from scurvy Limes or lemons don't cure scurvy, vitamin C does Vitamin C is found in fresh foods, so fresh fish will have vitamin C in it, fresh ruminant flesh, or bird flesh will have vitamin C, but a 3 weeks old lemon or lime won't
I tried ascorbic acid and it hurt my stomach after a while, so I stopped.. just tried a couple of weeks of sodium ascorbate bc I read it's "better" orally, in short.. kept having dizzy spells and felt generally worse after taking it (very spacey and anxious), so I'm tossing that bottle too.. I'm sensitive to citrus fruits, so I'll try eating peppers and other C-rich foods bc there's no use in making myself feel worse with stuff others swear by.. everything isn't for everyone.. I'm thankful for this message.
One false assertion is about the concentration of ascorbic acid in fruits. Old varieties of european apples contained about 500 mg just 50 years ago. The intensive agriculture has dropped those concentrations as low as 10-20mg in one apple. And it's the same for all the fruits and vegetables now produced intensively. The concentrations in vitamins and nutrients has been divided by 10, 20 and even by 100 !!
All because people want pretty looking fruit and the supermarkets push farmers to grow the kinds of fruit that sells. Surely it can be reversed and types of fruit and veg can be selectively grown for their nutrition rather than looks in the future 😑
@@MaximC: And greed, and today's people not being in touch with nature and w their own bodies enough to realize nutritious food having the 1st priority, or 1 of the first..not realizing quality costs and not finding out that taste enhancers make the worst quality and ingredients taste so good, as well as today's use of glycophosphates (or sth similar) (even allowed in ecologic farming alas!) which increases crop amounts. Without increasing the nutrient contents as well... It is up to us to ask for old fruit and vegs, without glycophospates and without all the extra sugar that today's fruit has been manipulated to contain. Remember when fruit was wonderfully, refreshingly sourly?
You can get close to 1000mg from a heaping teaspoon of Camu Camu Berry powder. Acerola cherry powder has around 700mg I believe. Then amla is somewhere around that percentage as well.
@@abc_cba well i guess all the tests that they've been running to test the amount of vitamin c in the fruit powder are lies. Where is your evidence to prove this?
@@abc_cba i'm all for learning new things, but going with the "its common sense" commentary only makes you look like a snob. The PH level of the environment needs to be at a certain point to keep the vitamin C stable. Apparently, the natural environment within the plants retains the integrity of the vitamin even when minimally processed. The nutritional content holds up very well as long as its kept in an airtight container and away from light (when in powder form). Vitamin C is stable even after being boiled if contained within its carrier (vegetable, fruit, etc) although it should be consumed soon after. We already know that its water soluble, which is why excess vitamin is flushed from your body and excreted through urine. The highest vitamin C content in the world belongs to the Camu Camu berry. Total ORAC score is different, but the Camu Camu berry is 3% vitamin C by weight, while the Amla berry is 1%. Amla does have the highest antioxidant count of any food, but Cloves and Cinnamon are higher if you want to use spices.
Nope…1tsp of Camu camu only gives you about 240mg of vitamin C (or maybe slightly less)…I take it every morning. It’s sufficient for the average person I guess, but not for those who need higher doses. Also it’s expensive…you can eat 1 large red bell pepper a day instead, and that gives you the same amount of vit C.

finally, someone actually addressing "types" of Vit C...there are many professionals on youtube and not one discusses the right one, and NO not the most expensive ones, people can not afford that but need the right ones.
I've never known of so many controversial opinions about a vitamin. I've seen most of the videos on YT about Ascorbic Acid from all of the "specialists"; half of them say don't go near it and the other are all for it. PLEASE... get a consensus of opinion as it's driving me nutty.
The comments on this video are quite amazing. One side says synthetic is bad while others say it's no different than the natural form. The problem is the isolated perspectives and inability to look at the whole. Both sides speake and share true statements, but a true statement is a fragment of the TRUTH, which should not be confused with something that is true. Vitamin D is a good example. I was deficient in vitamin D and my doctor prescribed me Vitamin D2, which is synthetic and able to achieve extremely high doses that cannot be achieved with natural vitamin D which is D3. My doctor informed me that it is not recommended to take D2 (synthetic) due to thinking problems, irritability, urinating issues, chest pain, muscle pain, bone pain, etc.. But was necessary to quickly bring my levels up and then switch to D3 to maintain my levels. So, excessive MG of synthetic Vitamin C can be beneficial, but those who promote it look at the benifits and not the downsides of long term use. Both perspectives are true, but the whole of it is the truth and what is needed to come to a decision as to what is best for the person, which is a whole other factor. Each person has their own unique needs, therefore what may be sufficient for one person will not he enough for another and what may be enough for one person may be too much for another. So, anyone who says it's right or wrong can only speak for yourselves, for you don't know the unique requirements of all the people in the world. 🤷♂️
There is a huge difference between using C for nutrition as Dr Berg recommends, and using it therapeutically. It should not be used therapeutically after one recovers. If battling illness all the test indicated you'll need megadoses for normal blood serum levels of C, else tissues suffer localized scurvy.
This guy is so right! I recently increased the consumption of my favourite bread, "cornbread," and I have developed pain in my left kidney and bladder/suspected kidney stones. Looking at the ingredients it contains ascorbic acid. Thank you dude, good job!
Although humans can't, most animals make their own vitamin C. What they make is C6H8O6, ascorbic acid. How can ascorbic acid be a problem if animals manufacture it for themselves?

Ever feel.. how do they say it in the vernacular? Horny? That's the Animal in Ye! God as my witness.
If I remember my chemistry, the problem with ascorbic acid is the sugar content its married with. If ascorbic acid is present with sugar, the sugar will leech into a cell first and sort of block ascorbic acid absorption. There is a lot of ascorbic acid, vitamins that have a lot of extra sugar, hence you don't get much benefit. Even oranges, though having high amounts of vitamin C, don't do the body as much good as you think, because the sugar present, blocks vitamin c absorption.

@@innosanto absolutely agreed. Plus it would give you diarrhea before you'd hit the levels of vitamin C often used in the studies. However, the studies typically are based on ascorbic acid, and not a natural form of vitamin C.
Here's what I do, I take lower levels of Camu as 1 tsp day which is maybe 700 mg (sometimes, when I remember, I'll take this twice a day). This isn't too costly at about $35/lb. Then, when I feel something coming on, or I get sick, I take high doses of ascorbic acid as 6, 000 - 12,000 mg/day in divided doses.
The Gerson diet recommends drinking 1 large glass (8 ounces) of freshly squeezed orange juice per day as part of the cancer protocol. That's 125-135 mg vitamin C. It also provides another 200 mg or so in the subsequent 8 glasses of carrot/apple juices. In all, you're getting maybe 325 mg of fresh vitamin C per day.

However Linus Pauling institute states that there is no difference in the bioavailability of ascorbid acid, as far as where it is procured is concerned, whether artificially or naturally. However, the kidney stone thing if it is so would make a great difference.
I read Linus Pauling account of how vita c works and have used it for 12 yrs now for reducing blood pressure and general health. I have had a fair reduction in blood pressure and gave not had the flu and few colds during this time. Dosage is 6 gms or more of c, 6 gms of lysine, 1 gm of proline, a mineral supplement. My o2 level is 100%. My weight is reasonable, I like beer, and I feel good. I'm 71. Thanks.

What kind of vitamin c do yall take? With that high of a dosage I assume it's still asorbic acid? Im having trouble finding a reasonably priced naturally sourced vitamin C. I got some acerola cherry powder before but it hardened and turned into a sticky mess even though moisture never got in the bag. So it doesnt seem stable for long term use.
I have used thousands of grams of the cheapest ascorbic acid(China) in my animal patients with outstandings results. I have done this for many years with no problems at all. I have also used it on myself and my family for years with only great results.
What else are you taking or eating? Have you ever tested for vitamin C deficiency?

I've seen a lot of info lately on the high natural vitamin c content of homemade sauerkraut, rose hips and pine needle tea
I have seen your name before and I think a couple of times we may have even chatted but I have not seen any comments by you in the past few months . But great name by the way .
The two highest sources right now of vitamin C are KAKADU PLUM which is the highest and that's mostly grown in Australia .
The second highest amount is AMLA FRUIT which is also called INDIAN GOOSEBERRY .
If you can get these in their fresh forms that's really wonderful and if not you can at least usually get the Indian gooseberry at most Indian grocers in powdered form .
Now they're saying Camu Camu is not worth it for vitamin C because the vitamin C in it is not stable and not as strong as they thought .
I also like ascorbyl palmitate which is the fat-soluble vitamin C as it stays in the fatty tissue and the skin and will make the skin even tone and bleach out freckles or redness or dark circles under the eyes .
Whenever I've been taking ascorbyl palmitate regularly I don't get sunburned and I no longer need to wear sunblock .
@@gardensofthegods very helpful ... in trying to decide what kind of C to buy I go crazy ... with hesperides, with bioflanoids, without ascorbic, from nature, from labs, twice now because of radically different pricing I just left the health food store confused ... can we trust amla powder not to be pesticide ridden from India?

12 years later and this video is still helpful. Thank you for all the information you share.
What if the reason why people feel such long-lasting lethargy after recovering from COv1d is because they took high amounts of synthetic vitamin C in an attempt to boost the immune system. Taking high amounts according to Dr. Berg here would then result in a deficiency in the vitamin C complex, which includes vitamin J. The vitamin J deficiency may then be the reason why energy levels do not return even when the person tests negative and recovers. Just a hunch?
You look so much better now, taking your own advices and growing! I love it, thank you so much for your work ethic :)

Yay! Somebody gets it! Thumbs up!
Markus Rothkranz is there a current ongoing debate about ascorbic acid vs vitamin c complex in the literature? Many MDs have used IV therapy of ascorbic acid for decades and still do clinically. Many viewers have some scientific thinking skills and understand the gold standard of rare scientific consensus on an issue such as this. Are you saying the IV ascorbic docs are committing malpractice and harming patients? Is there a standard of care on it?
gee whiz and here i thought you knew what you were talking about. only ascorbate or liposomal vitamin c should be used, never ascorbic acid, all of which is artificial, not made from food and therefore not recognized by the body. dum dum
Winifred... Synthetic doesn't mean artificial. Ascorbic acid is the same substance as naturally created ascorbate within 99% of all animals. It is chemically identical in every atom and in the layout of those atoms. That means it is exactly the same molecule of ascorbate made by a cow, a rat, your dog or cat.
Most all the clinical efficacy showing the benefits of vitamin C in fighting disease and toxins is done using cheap, synthetic ascorbic acid.

In the case of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, the L-form is the form most active in nature. For some of vitamin C’s known effects, the D-form has little to no activity, and for other effects the D-form has significant activity, although not typically to the extent that the L-form shows activity.
Basically, the vitamin C that is derived from natural sources is the L-form. However, the synthetic form of vitamin C can be either the L-form, the D-form, or both. Properly assaying the product determines whether any D-form is present. But just because vitamin C is synthetic does not mean it is the D-form.
Are you talking about Calcium-L-Ascorbate ?
Vitamin C comes in many forms. The primary form is Ascorbic acid which is very stable which is not efficiently absorbed above 500 mg. Dehydroascorbic acid is unstable at room tempurature yet with high uptake via Glut1 transporter into the blood. Then last is Threonic acid which is beginning to be investigated. The cofactors Vitamin P, copper....allow the Ascorbate to catalyze to these other forms. If you have some knowledge of chemistry you can convert Ascorbate with copper ions to Dehydroascorabate. Dehydroascorbate will literally make you feel euphoric, it will make your skin glow, your head will be clear. Dehydroascorbate is unique in that it crosses the blood brain barrier.
Perhaps you could contact Dr Berg to turn your "knowledge" into a form that can be easily understood... he's so great at sharing something complex in a humble way.
Whenever I notice the first symptom of a cold ( my case: sore throat) I take a tablespoon of pure ascorbic acid with a glass of water and repeat it every 20 to 30 minutes until I have diarrhea( VC flush ). With this, I haven’t had a cold for any more than 3 hours in the last 10 years.
Nice! I’d like to try this.
Exactly, that's because it is the real synthetic vitamin C better known as L-Ascorbic Acid. In the 1930s, Dr. Claus W. Jungblut, an early pioneer of vitamin C therapy, discovered that only primates and guinea pigs were susceptible to scurvy and anaphylactic shock, pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheritic intoxication, a poliomyelitis-like viral infection and a viral form of leukemia. None of the vitamin C synthesizing laboratory animals had susceptibility to these diseases. You see that is something you will never hear Berg talk about Why? Because he is a con man,... Why do I say that? Because anybody that does 10 videos on YT telling people that Ascorbic Acid is poison and that they should get the whole Vitamin C Complex instead clearly doesn't have a clue as to what Ascorbic Acid is. There are over 80 years of backed-up scientific research done on Ascorbic Acid, and yet this DC doesn't tell his band of worshipers here on YT any of the information on just what AA really does instead he gives them the big pharma treatment.
I had never heard of vitamin J so I had to look it up. I learned that vitamin J is choline.
Jim Ivey
Thanks!
@Jim Ivey thank you for pointing that out that vitamin J is choline, which I get from eggs. Where do you get your choline from.
My brothers and I used to do choline chloride liquid when we were in college but I hear they've stopped the liquid but you can still get in a powder or you can try getting inositol which I think is basically the same thing.. . Most importantly its brain food and remember anything that keeps the brain physically young helps also to slow down or even reverse aging of the skin and vice versa

Hi, thank you for this informative video. I just wanted to say; guavas have more vitamin c than 100 grams of kiwi and more than oranges.
Sauerkraut (and other fermented vegetables) are really high in vitamin c (plus good bacteria and enzymes 😊)
Love Dr. Berg‘s videos! He really is consistent. 👍💕
good to know I was wondering about sauerkraut and vitC
Great video !
Bravo!
Agree 100% about the HUGE difference between ascorbic acid and whole C!
vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Perhaps he means that these substances show up together in a complex.
@@innosanto He actually said the opposite, no?
From my research, and feel free to correct me if I m wrong, P-factor is another name for citrus bioflavonoids, J-factor is another name for Choline (also known as Vitamin J), K-factor is another name for Vitamin k-7, and the copper s known as tyrosine (or copper-tyrosine)...
From my understanding, if someone wanted to purchase each complex separate they could do so using these terms.
There isn't any appreciable amount of choline or vitamin k in oranges. There is however copper. I'll take copper supps with C then. You are supposed to take copper without most other supps as they can impede absorption
I'm still gone do it
What are your thoughts on sources like chlorella and wheat grass?
1tsp of chlorella powder provides 130% DLV. And I also get the same amount from food source.
I will say one thing about Chlorella that we all should be aware of: It helps eliminate heavy metals...... and we ALL have heavy metals in us unfortunately

This is one video where I have to disagree with his assessment of ascorbic acid. Animals who's bodies naturally produce ascorbic acid produce a lot in a day. They don't need these other factors he's talking about. It's just pure ascorbic acid. An average sized goat produces at least 13 grams a day when they are healthy and unstressed, and much more than that if they are stick or stressed. So to say that high doses are never found in nature isn't exactly true. There are many thousands of studies and case studies written up by holistic docs showing high-dose vitamin C therapy is extremely beneficial for a number of conditions.
But are goats like humans tho?
@@eveningsciarabba2129 yes, bebebebe
Animals that are often experimented on for human medical purposes do make ascorbic acid though...not just goats.
I'm curious as to where Dr Berg got his info from for this video.
Studies aren't always of good quality but are there even any studies supporting this? All I can see are links to his shop. @@eveningsciarabba2129
Thank you Dr. Berg....yes, I heard peppers have more C in them then citrus fruits, I put green peppers in my salads a lot.
Jalapenos are good in chicken, tuna, and egg salad too! Throw some in your tossed salad for a tiny kick. So good. And don't forget jalapenos on your pizza.
This is the best explanation of Vitamin C I have ever heard..... and I've studied health/fitness/nutrition for decades!
Dr. Berg, "C" has been my most used vitamin. But after listening to your talk, I'm wary of too much sugar, but I am going to eat kiwi, peppers, and papaya, because I do have spider veins I've been fooled by the so called high doses of "C". I drink ACV and love it. This is key for me. Thanks.
Thank you. I've been taking 1 pill of "vitamin c" (abscorbic acid 1000 mg) per day, for a couple years and I started having, spider veins on my legs, my leg veins are getting visible and I have a tingling / heat sensation on them that I didn't used to before, also there is no history of varicose veins in the women of my family. It has to be this! I just threw the bottle away and will only take vitamin c from food.
Abscorbic acid is not vitamin c
Did removing ascorbic acid from diet remove your varicose veins?

The man is a genius!
One false assertion is about the concentration of ascorbic acid in fruits. Old varieties of european apples contained about 500 mg just 50 years ago. The intensive agriculture has dropped those concentrations as low as 10-20mg in one apple. And it's the same for all the fruits and vegetables now produced intensively. The concentrations in vitamins and nutrients has been divided by 10, 20 and even by 100 !!
All because people want pretty looking fruit and the supermarkets push farmers to grow the kinds of fruit that sells. Surely it can be reversed and types of fruit and veg can be selectively grown for their nutrition rather than looks in the future 😑

Indian gooseberry has incredible amount of vitamin C..it's called Amla and available everywhere here..that what one should have !!
You can get close to 1000mg from a heaping teaspoon of Camu Camu Berry powder. Acerola cherry powder has around 700mg I believe. Then amla is somewhere around that percentage as well.
@@abc_cba well i guess all the tests that they've been running to test the amount of vitamin c in the fruit powder are lies. Where is your evidence to prove this?
@@abc_cba i'm all for learning new things, but going with the "its common sense" commentary only makes you look like a snob. The PH level of the environment needs to be at a certain point to keep the vitamin C stable. Apparently, the natural environment within the plants retains the integrity of the vitamin even when minimally processed. The nutritional content holds up very well as long as its kept in an airtight container and away from light (when in powder form). Vitamin C is stable even after being boiled if contained within its carrier (vegetable, fruit, etc) although it should be consumed soon after. We already know that its water soluble, which is why excess vitamin is flushed from your body and excreted through urine. The highest vitamin C content in the world belongs to the Camu Camu berry. Total ORAC score is different, but the Camu Camu berry is 3% vitamin C by weight, while the Amla berry is 1%. Amla does have the highest antioxidant count of any food, but Cloves and Cinnamon are higher if you want to use spices.
Nope…1tsp of Camu camu only gives you about 240mg of vitamin C (or maybe slightly less)…I take it every morning. It’s sufficient for the average person I guess, but not for those who need higher doses. Also it’s expensive…you can eat 1 large red bell pepper a day instead, and that gives you the same amount of vit C.
Wow !!

Any recommendations?
Incredible! Ty dr Berg! I watch this video over & over.
can barelly listen
Best advice as always.
I've never known of so many controversial opinions about a vitamin. I've seen most of the videos on YT about Ascorbic Acid from all of the "specialists"; half of them say don't go near it and the other are all for it. PLEASE... get a consensus of opinion as it's driving me nutty.
The comments on this video are quite amazing. One side says synthetic is bad while others say it's no different than the natural form. The problem is the isolated perspectives and inability to look at the whole. Both sides speake and share true statements, but a true statement is a fragment of the TRUTH, which should not be confused with something that is true. Vitamin D is a good example. I was deficient in vitamin D and my doctor prescribed me Vitamin D2, which is synthetic and able to achieve extremely high doses that cannot be achieved with natural vitamin D which is D3. My doctor informed me that it is not recommended to take D2 (synthetic) due to thinking problems, irritability, urinating issues, chest pain, muscle pain, bone pain, etc.. But was necessary to quickly bring my levels up and then switch to D3 to maintain my levels. So, excessive MG of synthetic Vitamin C can be beneficial, but those who promote it look at the benifits and not the downsides of long term use. Both perspectives are true, but the whole of it is the truth and what is needed to come to a decision as to what is best for the person, which is a whole other factor. Each person has their own unique needs, therefore what may be sufficient for one person will not he enough for another and what may be enough for one person may be too much for another. So, anyone who says it's right or wrong can only speak for yourselves, for you don't know the unique requirements of all the people in the world. 🤷♂️
There is a huge difference between using C for nutrition as Dr Berg recommends, and using it therapeutically. It should not be used therapeutically after one recovers. If battling illness all the test indicated you'll need megadoses for normal blood serum levels of C, else tissues suffer localized scurvy.
This guy is so right! I recently increased the consumption of my favourite bread, "cornbread," and I have developed pain in my left kidney and bladder/suspected kidney stones. Looking at the ingredients it contains ascorbic acid. Thank you dude, good job!
Could be the sugar
Although humans can't, most animals make their own vitamin C. What they make is C6H8O6, ascorbic acid. How can ascorbic acid be a problem if animals manufacture it for themselves?
Carly's throwing Darwin's whole 1859, on very short list of most human thought changing works of all time "Origin of Species" under the bus. Didn't see that coming. I'm not up to a Thomas Huxley here, but... Given that One enzyme's the difference between Us and those Chimpanzee things when it comes to Vitamin C, the odds we're Not related would be.. one in.. a Google? We're Animals Honey Child! Ever feel.. how do they say it in the vernacular? Horny? That's the Animal in Ye! God as my witness.
If I remember my chemistry, the problem with ascorbic acid is the sugar content its married with. If ascorbic acid is present with sugar, the sugar will leech into a cell first and sort of block ascorbic acid absorption. There is a lot of ascorbic acid, vitamins that have a lot of extra sugar, hence you don't get much benefit. Even oranges, though having high amounts of vitamin C, don't do the body as much good as you think, because the sugar present, blocks vitamin c absorption.
get synthetic C. no sugar there.
You are correct vitamin c should be taken apart from sugar' good job.
Sugar in fruits is Fructose not glucose which competes with vitamin C
Thank you Dr. Berg!
