hey dr berg here i want to explain

vitamin c

vitamin c

normally comes

in a complex in nature it always comes

with a bunch of associated parts so

let’s talk about the parts vitamin c

comes from an antioxidant portion right

here or or a protective coating called

ascorbic

acid

and when you go to the store and buy

vitamin c you’re normally going to see

ascorbic acid in very high doses dosages

including up to even grams in nature

ascorbic acid never never occurs more

than a hundred milligrams so when you

see vitamin c

tablets over a hundred milligrams

chances are it’s made synthetically now

where they make vitamin c synthetically

is from corn starch and sulfuric acid so

they mix those two together and make

this ascorbic acid and tell you it’s

vitamin c when it’s really a synthesized

version of one part of the vitamin c

complex

so i don’t recommend it because there

are side effects in fact when you take

too much

of this one part right here ascorbic

acid you will create deficiencies

in the other parts of the vitamin that

normally come

in nature’s package

okay so let me let me just kind of give

you an example i had a patient went to

mexico and went to some of this

alternative clinic to get rid of his

cancer

and they injected him with a hundred

thousand milligrams of ascorbic acid

well he came back with the worst vitamin

c deficiency you’ve ever seen in your

life

so he had spider veins he had

hemorrhoids he was completely tired so

vitamin c deficiency is basically scurvy

scurvy is fatigue your joints fall apart

and you have a lot of vein

spider vein issues or varicose vein

issues

so

in the vitamin c complex normally in

nature you have vitamin p that’s the

bioflavonoids okay that would be the the

factors that support the connective

tissue around the arteries and the veins

that prevent the spider veins on your

nose vitamin j that’s the that’s the

lung or anti-pneumonia vitamin

and that vitamin helps protect again

going upstairs and preventing you from

getting out of breath easily it kind of

helps your lungs increase oxygen and you

see a deficiency in this in a lot of

asthma cases but it’s really just the

vitamin c

complex and then you have copper each

vitamin complex comes with a different

mineral so copper is one of the minerals

in the vitamin c complex but it’s

actually in an enzyme form it’s called

tyrosinase and tyrosinase is there to

help as a precursor to build the adrenal

hormones and that’s why i’m talking

about vitamin c because it’s essential

and to build your your adrenal hormones

the reservoir vitamin c in your body is

held in the adrenals

and so we want to make sure that we

don’t burn them out by taking too much

ascorbic acid so if you’re taking

vitamin c now go get the bottle and just

make sure it doesn’t have large amounts

of ascorbic acid you want to get a

natural vitamin c that has low

ascorbic acid and high other factors

through here now we know about vitamin k

that’s like the clotting factors and so

people might get bruising if they’re

deficient in vitamin k but this is the

anti-pneumonia vitamin this is the

bioflavonoids that support the veins and

without this you get spider veins and

then this is the one that supports the

adrenal

and then ascorbic acid really the only

function of that is to protect

these vital internal parts of the

vitamin c complex this is not the active

ingredient in vitamin c like most people

think and the reason why it works maybe

for when you get sick you might take

vitamin c is the acidifying effect it’s

really the acid in the ascorbic acid

that helps kill the microbes of the

bacteria you’d be much better off

consuming apple cider vinegar in water

than you would be ascorbic acid because

ascorbic acid will start depleting you

over the other factors

so when i ask people um you know what

was your history what did you do a lot

of and if they had a lot of

grams of vitamin c or so-called vitamin

c

and they end up with adrenal issues it

could be one

causation of that okay so i just wanted

to mention this just make sure

that your vitamin c comes from a natural

source so you read the label and you

want to see the foods that it comes from

not just a little pinch of

rose hips you want to see that it’s low

ascorbic acid and it comes from

foods vegetables and things like that so

one of the top three foods with vitamin

c

are kiwis papaya

and peppers any type of peppers bell

peppers green peppers hot peppers those

are the three foods that have the most

vitamin c on the planet okay

so i hope that helped i will see you in
