Vitamin C is often celebrated for its immune health benefits, but did you know it’s actually a stress survival molecule? 🧠 It plays a crucial role when the body is under various forms of stress, including infections, inflammation, and physical or emotional stress.
If you’re on a high-sugar or high-carb diet, your body might not efficiently utilize vitamin C. Unlike animals, humans cannot produce vitamin C, making dietary sources vital. You can find Dr. Berg’s full line of high-quality supplements on Amazon by searching for ‘Dr. Berg Supplements’.
Another important aspect to note is that about 90% of vitamin C supplements are synthetic, often made from corn sugar and produced overseas. This means most vitamin C pills in stores could be filled with cheap, industrial versions of this nutrient. Always check your vitamin C labels to ensure you’re getting natural sources rather than just ascorbic acid.
Symptoms of deficiency can manifest as chronic fatigue, frequent infections, and slow healing. Sources rich in vitamin C include bell peppers, papaya, and fermented foods like sauerkraut, which retain their vitamin content due to the fermentation process. To increase your vitamin C levels, it’s suggested to consume half a cup of fermented vegetables daily and reduce your stress and sugar intake.
