How do you measure the amount of Vitamin C in orange juice?
Posted by admin on Sep 30, 2009
I found a difficult way on a website, saying something about using starch, but it doesn’t say how to measure it. I need to see which orange juice has more Vitamin C for a Science Project. My teacher wants me to research it by tomorrow, so best answer will be chosen soon. Thanks for the help!

Why is Vitamin C called "Vitamin C"? Specifically, does the name have anything to do with Citric fruits?
Posted by admin on Sep 28, 2009
I know that the L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid is known as Vitamin C. I am just wondering whether there is any significance to the letter "C", or if it is just a coincidence.
Citric acid is where the C is derived from… Also it makes sense because of the order of the alphabet. Vitamin A, B, C, D, E, etc… K

How lost does vitamin C last in your system?
Posted by admin on Sep 26, 2009
I’m experiencing the beginnings of a severe cold and I bought some vitamin C tablets to take. Does anyone know how long vitamin C lasts in your system, because I heard it wasn’t very long.
Vitamin C is eliminated from your body every day as it is water soluble. The best strategy is to take vitamin C two or three times a day as that is far more effective than taking the total amount once a day. If you only take it once a day there is nothing left for later on towards the end of the day.
What does vitamin C do for the digestion?
Posted by admin on Sep 24, 2009
I realize its an acid(ascorbic acid), but what exactly does it do in the stomach if you take a large dose? I realize a large enough dose will cause diarrhea, but below this dose, what does vitamin C do? Does it improve digestion? Does it block anything? Thanks.
Well, vitamin C is an antioxidant. in the stomach , it will reduce ferric (non-absorbable iron) to ferrous(absorbable iron) . by this way , the body gets its iron requirements. as an acid , it will help in enzyme activation . its excess will cause Hypervitaminosis C , then the body will be in a state of acidosis if this continues.
How effective is Vitamin C and zinc in producing higher quality sperm?
Posted by admin on Sep 22, 2009
My husband was tested recently. His prostate, etc, is perfectly healthy, but his sperm count is very low and the few that he produces are very slow. The urologist suggested he take high doses of Vitamin C and zinc for three months and then get retested. We would like to know if these supplements actually do make a great difference? What is the prognosis in such a case? Will we be able to have children eventually?
Eat foods and/or whole food supplements that are naturally rich in folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc.
Folate, selenium, and zinc are particularly important to producing healthy sperm. Vitamins C and E are thought to protect sperm against damage by the environmental stressors listed in the next section.
What is Vitamin C? What is the vitamin that helps absorb calcium and whats a good multivitamin brand?
Posted by admin on Sep 20, 2009
is Vitamin C, Calcium??
What is that one vitamin called that helps you absorb the Calcium into your bones?
What is a good multivitamin that has lots of Calcium.. hopefully chewable and is kinda cheap? Like i could find it at Wal Mart?
I think you may be thinking of Vitamin D, not vitamin C.
Centrum usually has a wide variety of products that cater to age and nutrition goals. They have men’s and women’s only vitamins as well as general health supplements.
You may also want to invest in Caltrate if you feel you are not getting enough calcium through your diet and additional supplements.
What is the difference between synthetic and natural vitamin c?
Posted by admin on Sep 18, 2009
Wondering about the bioavailability regarding vitamin c from natural or sythetic sources. I am specifically looking for studies or scientific proof of the negative effects of sythetic vitamins and specifically vitamin c.
Vitamins are made up of several different components enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors– that must work together to produce their intended biologic effects.Vitamins that are found naturally in whole foods come with all of their necessary components.The majority of vitamins that are sold in pharmacies, grocery stores, and vitamin shops are synthetic vitamins, which are only isolated portions of the vitamins that occur naturally in food.
How much Vitamin C should I take when trying to fight a cold?
Posted by admin on Sep 16, 2009
Also,
Aside from what’s in a typical multivitamin, are there any additional supplements that my body needs to appropriately process and utilize Vitamin C?
Anywhere from 1000mg to 3000mg! And something else that helps alot of AIRBORNE!! It’s only 6 bucks! Try it!
Cure for Heart Disease…Without Drugs or Surgery
Posted by admin on Sep 14, 2009

AMERICAN SCIENTISTS SAY THEY INVENTED A CURE FOR HEART DISEASE IN 1991
According to one of the world’s most highly regarded scientists , we human beings no longer have to fear premature death or heart attack caused by progressive cardiovascular disease (CVD), undergo heart by-pass surgery or angioplasty, or suffer the chest pain of Angina Pectoris.
The medicinal substances involved are not drugs. The two primary ingredients of the Linus Pauling invention are both required in some daily amount for life itself. The great benefit comes from taking these two completely non-toxic substances in amounts much larger than one normally consumes in the diet.
Linus Pauling did not make this claim lightly, although he made it without fanfare. Pauling waited until after careful experiments at his institute confirmed the Lp(a)/vitamin C connection.
The details of this amazing discovery, its suppression by medical authorities, elements of the United States government and other governments, and the mainstream press, are described on these web pages. You can also view a Linus Pauling lecture on video tape. Pauling explains how you can return your cardiovascular health, safely, without surgery.
Thanks to medical science, it is now possible for cardiovascular disease patients to live a more healthful future; free of pain and symptoms of their former cardiovascular illness. An extraordinary claim. A claim unknown to most doctors, but one those suffering severe disease can verify for themselves in a few weeks.
