Welcome to our channel, thank you for visiting, we appreciate your input, please leave us a comment or a question below. Today we answer the question, what is vitamin C, and the benefits of getting it from food sources or credible supplementation.

Typically, we start off our videos with the health benefits of a vitamin, nutrient or food source(s).

Today we will focus first on Vitamin C deficiencies and then discuss key roles it plays in the human body and why supplements could be a bad idea.

Deficiency, or lack of Vitamin C, results in:
Anemia
Infections
Bleeding gums
Scurvy
Poor wound healing
Capillary hemorrhage
Muscle degeneration
Atherosclerotic plaques 
Neurotic disturbances

The body requires vitamin C for normal physiological functions and is only found in foods we eat or by food sourced supplements (not synthetic such as ascorbic acid).  

Foods high in vitamin C:
Berries
Lemons
Tomatoes
Green leafy vegetables
Peppers
Liver / organ meat
Broccoli

Vitamin C is water soluble, so toxicity is rare.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and protects the body from various deleterious effects of free radicals, toxins and pollutants.

Key factors:
Facilitates the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids and lowers cholesterol levels.
Increases the absorption of iron in the gut by reducing ferric into a ferrous state.
Enhances vitamin E bioavailability.
Helps in the proper synthesis and metabolism of tyrosine, folic acid, tryptophan, hydroxylation of glycine, prolin, lysine carnitine and catecholamine.
May enhance collagen synthesis and soft tissue healing

There is an ongoing debate about getting valuable nutrients from whole food sources compared to synthetic supplements, which are supposed to be chemically the same. 
There is more research needed. It is compelling as to why there are mostly chemicals in parentheses on the back of vitamin bottles (as researched by Dr. Berg here on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8FkfVsz76E). Dr. Berg also has his own brand of different nutrients which are Non-GMO, organic and made from whole foods - please see the link below for his chewable Vitamin C
