I am just curious how you think. Most people don't do the research AND the bio-feedback to understand effects versus results.

It is known that 80 percent of the world's supply of ascorbic acid comes from China. This China manufacturer is a Pharmaceutical company! So my main question is how can you be against Big Pharma and take Vitamin C? It is quite a contradiction.

Here are some quotes to ponder:

"Pauling made vitamin C popular with the public and eventually published two studies of a group of 100 allegedly terminal patients that claimed vitamin C increased survival by as much as four times compared to untreated patients. A re-evaluation of the claims in 1982 found that the patient groups were not actually comparable, with the vitamin C group being less sick on entry to the study, and judged to be "terminal" much earlier than the comparison group. Later clinical trials conducted by the Mayo Clinic also found that high-dose (10,000 mg) vitamin C was no better than placebo at treating cancer and that there was no benefit to high-dose vitamin C." -- Source Wikipedia (Linus Pauling)

"World production of synthesised vitamin C is currently estimated at approximately 110,000 tonnes annually. The main producers have been BASF/Takeda, DSM, Merck and the China Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. of the People's Republic of China." -- Source Wikipedia (Vitamin C)

You have freedom of choice so I will leave it up to you. Eating live fruits are so much better. Eat an orange for organic Vitamin C. The white part has beneficial fiber to help digestion.
