OK, with all the discussion of pros and cons I would like to know places to shop for the real Vit C that we all need. I too thought asorbic acid was a natural vit C and was sufficient but have read where too much of that causes problems?! But since ViT C is crucial to everything working in our bodies I think we need to investigate this further.

So, I will be looking forward to your comments and thanks Marshall.

l-ascorbic acid IS vitamin C,  period the end amen.
Not really. Vitamin C is pretty well anything ascorbate. If it is hydrogen, then it is ascorbic acid, and if sodium, then it is sodium ascorbate. Natural vitamin C is normally in the form of a metal ascorbate I believe. Only the man made C is pure ascorbic acid. Also it is believed that the bioflavoids are very important, and those show up in things like rose hips, but not in the artificial C.

Hi Richard - I've decided that taking something like the Super Quercitin formulated by Bluebonnet is best for me since its the best sort of "C Complex" I can come up with. Lots of people follow Linus Pauling's work on L-ascorbic acid xclusively and he was an awfully smart guy. However I'm increasingly convinced by holistic argunments that the body needs a complex of VitCs to assimilate properly. I am a bit concerned though about whatever degree of heat might be used in the processing, since heat tends to destroy VitC. Its pretty hard to find information on how vitamins are processed, in my experience.
my 2cents,
DByron
