🔷According to a 2004 study, 14 percent of men and 10 percent of women were deficient in vitamin C.
🔷About 6 percent of children (12-17 years old) had insufficient levels of vitamin C.
🔷 A 1999 study found that 33 percent of people age 65 did not consume enough of vitamin C.
🔷Many survey results found that people consume a low amount of vitamin C-rich foods.

❓Which form of vitamin C is the best?

🔶Liposomal vitamin C is best absorbed and is great for people with digestive issues because it can be absorbed without having to go all the way through the digestive system.
Liposomal vitamin C is often made from sunflower lecithin, which helps the liver detoxify the body.
If there are problems with methylation (detoxification), which are heterozygous or homozygous for the MTHFR gene, liposomal vitamin C can help with methylation.

🔶Calcium ascorbate or Ester-C includes calcium ascorbate as the primary ingredient. It was made to have a more neutral pH as compared to vitamin C’s slightly acidic natural composition.
It provides good support for the immune system and can relieve allergy symptoms by helping the body reduce histamine levels.
This form is generally better absorbed than ascorbic acid, but not as well absorbed as liposomal vitamin C.

🔶Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids allows the body to use vitamin C more efficiently than if you took vitamin C alone, since bioflavonoids increase the bioavailability of vitamin C.
Those with digestive problems should avoid this form unless advised by a doctor, as it may irritate the digestive system.
