Viva Naturals Vitamin C 1000mg - Non-GMO Vitamin C Supplements with Citrus Bioflavonoids & Rose HIPS for Immune Support & Antioxidant Protection, 250 Vegetarian Capsules

Love this Vitamin C. The only one so far that doesn't upset my stomach, as it dissolves slowly.

I love this vitamin C! Viva Naturals is one of the only companies I have found that sells non-GMO Vitamin C in capsule form. For me, capsules disperse into my bloodstream more readily. I learned the benefits of taking vitamin C early on in my life, so when all else failed, I upped my vitamin C intake. Fortunately, I also discovered Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD's books on the importance of taking high dose vitamin C to prevent heart disease, cancer and other health problems~especially since I am a person who has had a lot of surgeries from broken bones and dental work involving root canals, silver amalgam fillings, and porcelain plated nickel crowns. I had to learn the hard way that I am very allergic to metals. Many people don't even know that most porcelain crowns have nickel in them). I didn't. (Dr. Thomas Levy's website is: peakenergy.com)I presently take 8 grams 4 times a day spacing the time from 8:00 AM to 8:00PM. I take my doses of vitamin C with food to prevent what Dr. Levy calls the "bowel effect." He says there is no worry as to how much vitamin C one can take, but there can be a bowel effect which is why I space my dosages and take them with a small healthy meal without wheat or sugar. A number of my doctors over the years have told me that taking high dose vitamin C has saved my life. I already knew it to be true. Because vitamin C is an antioxidant, it has also had anti-aging effects on me too, keeping me young, vibrant & full of energy. I have tried a lot of different brands of vitamin C but this high quality non-GMO vitamin C with bioflavonoids & rose hips in capsule form is my favorite. In my opinion, vitamin C is the best health protection there is and it combines with other natural medicinals without worry of side effects. I have no intention of ever stopping my life long habit of taking high doses of vitamin C. In 1970 Linus Pauling won the Nobel prize for his research on vitamin C. See his book: Vitamin C and the Common Cold. Vitamin C works the miracle! Big Pharma be dammed!

Love taking these in conjunction to other daily supplements. They really work to support the immune system.

Very good result

Easy to swallow capsules. Not too large and never gets stuck in the throat!I consume lots of vitamin C and this one does a great job of fighting invaders.I also use other brands with patented slower absorption but can't tell the difference.Whenever a flu tickles the throat:1. We eat fresh garlic cloves [with whole wheat organic toast plus butter and honey or avocado],2. Drink fresh ginger root tea3. I pop 5-10 of these [5grams -10gr] per day, upon awakening, during the day and before sleeping.With PLENTY of WATER. You need lots of water with high doses Vitamin C to avoid acidity reactions.Use quality reverse osmosis filtered water or good still mineral water - we drink lots of water every day and have a kitchen sink filter system plus a pitcher filter on top of that so our water is safe from poison and safe to consume.Whenever sick or feeling your body is low energy and for daily boosting - vitamin C is very important.When used for daily immune booster - 1-3 capsules is typically enough.When sick - up to 20 caps a day or till you get the runnies. Drink lots of water and it mitigates the runnies. Give it rest if you go high dose and get the runnies.We never take any pharma poisons - me and family have natural immune system take care of our coronaviruses naturally and successfully.To your health!

I settled on taking Vit C caps a very long time ago when I discovered they helped me get through a 'common cold' quickly, or so it seemed. Eventually I settled into a daily routine of taking C throughout the day, more or less an amount determined by the weather, my workload, and my stress level. I've tried many brands, different strengths, both tablets and capsules, and finally settled on 1000mg caps. I might take 2-4 in an average day, but maybe up to 6 if I feel I "need" them. Of course, if I'm on the verge of a cold, which is rare, and I have a major voiceover recording very very soon...like tomorrow, I will up my intake dramatically.Now before the naysayers start their commenting, I clearly do understand the 'placebo effect' and still I have convinced myself, actually a long time ago while working in Tokyo, that they work for me. And too, I'm willing to admit that they may work for me because I believe they will work for me... following this line of reasoning? Ok, so I can only add this last bit of information: over the last 20+ years, I have had so few instances of illness as to be statistically irrelevant, and among the reasons I give to support that is among other things, I take 1000mg Vit C caps regularly.This Brand works well for me, although I admit it is a new Brand, but the results seem typical, there's no stomach distress, I remain healthy and so I can recommend them...that along with amazon prime. BTW, I get nothing for free here, I buy it:-)
