Where can I get whole food Vitamin C?
You know I love me some real, whole-food Vitamin Ⓒ!
*
The main reason I prefer to get this vitamin from whole foods is because it’s actually a complex that contains:
*
⚛️Factors P, K, J
⚛️Tyrosinase
⚛️14 known bioflavanoids
⚛️Ascorbagens
⚛️5 copper ions
⚛️Iron
⚛️Manganese
⚛️Zinc
⚛️Selenium
⚛️Phosphorous
⚛️Magnesium
⚛️Ascorbic Acid
*
Some of my favorite sources:
*
🍊Citrus. This is where the vitamin gets its namesake and includes fruits like lemons, oranges and grapefruit.
🫑Peppers. Green, red, sweet yellow and chili all contain great amounts.
🥝. Tropical fruits like this one and papaya and guava are excellent sources.
🍒Acerola Cherries. A powerhouse and often the source found in whole-food supplements.
💜Blackcurrants. Another potent source.
🍓Strawberries. An excellent source - other berries like blueberries can also be a power source.
*
I love fruits the most because for the most part, they can generally be consumed raw and are super easy to grab on-the-go. They’re also a great source of minerals like potassium.
*
Best paired with a protein depending on the person.

Enjoy!
