Why Calcium Ascorbate is a No-No.

On page 444 of VITAMIN C, INFECTIOUS
DISEASES, & TOXINS, Doctor Thomas
Levy discusses calcium ascorbate.
Here's the quote:

"The form of vitamin C supplementation should never be
calcium ascorbate. Sodiium ascorbate
and ascorbic acid are the supplement
forms of choice. Calcium ascorbate
provides an additional source of calcium to associate with oxalate,
and possibly precipitate out in the
urinary tract as stones."

He goes on to say, "Mineral ascorbates should not be your sole
source of vitamin C. The dosage level of vitamin C that you need to
take on a daily basis, would require
an overdose of associated mineral
forms, if mineral ascorbates were your only forms of supplemented vitamin C."

Doctor Levy suggests that people who
take large daily doses of vitamin
C, should avoid calcium supplements:

"This is not to infer that taking both calcium and vitamin C assures the formation of kidney stones. However, many patients who end up with stone formation are older, and
have been taking calcium supplements and multiple prescription medications in addition to their vitamin C doses. Furhermore, there is significant evidence that most
calcium supplements are not in a
bioavailable form, and are probably
quite toxic to those who take them.
Non-bioavailable forms of calcium can lead to an increased risk of
heart disease, cancer, and other
chronic degenerative diseases."

I should add that Doctor Levy bases
his conclusions on more than 1200
medical and scientific journal articles, all of whose titles are listed in the book.

So I suggest you use sodium ascorbate crystals if you're going to take mega-doses of vitamin C on
a daily basis.

Blessings,

Owen
