Vitamin C

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

I'm taking cecon chewable kasi pwedi sya itake kahit saan, no need for water, may cheaper version kaya nito? tag 7 pesos din kasi isa eh i take it twice a day , gasto lang.

[Saint_Sinner]

^ same here sis, cecon chewables din tine-take ko, twice a day din so medyo magastos sya. Sana may ibang chewable vit c na mas cheaper.

Bringing this thread up.

I want to take Vitamin C again kasi feel ko ang tamlay ko and super tagal mag-fade ng mga sugat ko. I used to take 3tabs of Vitamin C before and okay siya sa sakin.

Anyway, ask ko lang ano okay na brand ng vit. C besides Fern C? I bought 4 packs of 30s at Watson and it cost me 800. Ang gastos eh. Okay ba nag generic?

[nixiquita]

nagvit c ako noon 3x a day 500mg haha sumakit tiyan ko, malamang acidic. prone pa naman ako sa gastritis hehe. So nag once a day nalang kaso parang mas lalo ako sinipon at sorethroat. For some reason parang mas naging prone ako sa colds. I have allergoc rhinitis though. So i stopped after a few weeks. i used the one from generic drugstore

^^ sis @zarazan, parang okay lang naman saakin before yung generic. ayoko nung poten cee. grabe! sobrang gana ko kumain.

Try megga veggie C nabibili ko sya at 500 per box 100 capsules na.  IMO, the best vit C is yung naka ascorbate form kasi mas mataas ang body absorption nya and mas stable yung form.  Unlike the generic one's in acidic form na and over time nagiging yellowish/orangish na yung color nya ibig sabihin nag ooxidize sya, nawawala na yung vit c content.

[zarazan]

What other brands ang okay kaya mga sis? Bewell-C ba is it okay? Super love ko Fern C but super expensive kasi so Im thinking one of each nalang para di naman super gastos.

[simplepink]

^bewell-c iniinom ko. ok naman. same lang din sa fern-c.

[zarazan]

^how much Bewell-C?, sis?

[simplepink]

Sis, where do you buy your mega c?

[whitebishop]

thanks for the information. ang pagkakaintindi ko naman baliktad.  Vitamin C helps your body absorb all the other vitamins because vitamin C is the mother of all Vitamins.  I am interested with your shared knowledge though as a pharmacist.  Can you shed some more light and share some articles about vitamin c not being absorbed by the body without other vitamins?

Ako, I use Enervon Multivitamis (Yung may Vit B complex + Vitamin C) at saka Rhea Ascorbic Acid. Yung Enervon, I take it in the morning and then yung Rhea at the afternoon. Maganda kasi ang Vit B and C for the skin, hair, metabolism and overall health. 

[chuy]

Generic for me. Ritemed o kaya Rhea.

Depende yata sa kung ilan Vitamin C kailangan ng body bago mailabas yung vitamin. Yung highest tolerable intake amount daw for adults ay 2000 mg unless prescribed by doctor.

[heavenleigh]

I found a Vit C that i can say was best among others that ive tried. It's Solgar's VitC. Super sakitin ako before. Lagi ako may sorethroat and sipunin that can last a month. Effective 1000mg caplet sa akin. Another plus for me is 1xday lang ang inom ko coz its already 1000mg.

[whitebishop]

for me it used to be Fern-C. Now I'm trying Mega C and mega Veggie C

[sportygurl]

I have read that taking vitamin c can help brighten your skin and reduce dark pimple marks. there are a lot of vitamin c for sale, but i dont know which one to buy. please recommend some for me.

[ilovejdy]

Before I used Fern-C because of the hype, but now I use Ad-C Plus kasi
I wanted a vitamin C na with Zinc na..

zinc kasi is also great for the skin at sa immunity na din.. Its a win-win for me.

Kung ayaw mo ng may zinc. Try vit.c in sodium ascorbate form para less acidic as compared with the ascorbic acids.
