Question 1

Q: Why is the vitamin C level lower than other supplements?  Don't I need a much higher dose?

Accepted Answer

A: Many store-bought supplements contain a mega-dose of vitamin C (500 - 1000 mg). These supplements are isolated vitamin C and do not have all the benefits of a whole-food supplement like this one. Further, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, and your body will excrete the excess. Most of the time, you don't need massive doses of vitamin C (not for daily wellness), although this can change with illness. We think smaller, bioavailable doses are better for overall health.

Question 2

Q: When should I take the Immune-Aid Vitamin C Powder or the Vita-C tincture?

Accepted Answer

A: You can take either product for supplementing vitamin C in your everyday diet. When needed, Immune-Aid can be taken "to tolerance." Many people have heard of Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ vitamin C protocol. It recommends 5–10 grams per day for a child, broken down into small, frequent doses. This is often referred to as taking vitamin C "to tolerance." When feeling ill, taking Vitamin C “to tolerance” is a common strategy. “To tolerance” means taking more than the regular dose every 4 or so hours backing off once you have loose stools. You know you have reached your ‘tolerance’ when you have to run to the bathroom! Because vitamin C does not get stored in our body, when the body gets what it needs, you eliminate it in your stool – in a quick fashion! So next time, take a bit less than that until you can “tolerate” the response. Then one continues that “to tolerance” amount until they feel the extra support is no longer needed.

Question 3

Q: How do I take this? Can I mix this with juice or a smoothie?

Accepted Answer

A: All of our tinctures can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), orally, or in juice, water, smoothies, applesauce, etc. -- except for Digest-Support, which must be taken alone with as little water as possible 20 minutes before a meal. If giving multiples, they can be mixed together in a cup -- except for Digest-Support, which must be taken alone with as little water as possible 20 minutes before a meal. Be sure not to let the dropper touch the mouth as this can cause contamination. When taking yourself, drop from above your mouth under your tongue. When giving to someone else, ask them to open their mouth and lean their head back so you can drop it in.
