There are roughly about seven ways to know if you are low in vitamin C. But I first want

to cover some confusions about vitamin C. The first one is between synthetic vitamin

C and natural vitamin C. If you look this up, you'll be told that they're the same.

There's no difference between synthetic vitamin C and natural vitamin C. Chemically, they're

the exact identical molecules.

Well, these studies, if you actually read them, mainly talk about absorption right.

It's absorbed the same.

Well, they might be the same, but in nature, they're very, very different.

In fact, ascorbic acid, which is now called vitamin C, really is just one little piece

of the vitamin C complex.

In nature, you never see just plain ascorbic acid.

But when you see the studies that show there's no difference between synthetic versus natural,

they're really only talking about absorption rate, okay?

They're not talking about if vitamin C created an effect in the body.

They're mainly talking about, well, it absorbs at the same rate and the same amount.

But I want to know, will it actually fix my problem, right?

Well, even the gentleman who discovered vitamin C, okay, back, I think it was 1939, said

You can't cure scurvy.
