One of the best forms of C, quality and works well, September 6, 2011
This is one of better companies and forms i've personally found and believe in. I normally take semi-high amounts
of vitamin c since humans no longer can make it on their own, but animals bodies still can in high amounts. This
sago-palm extracted version i've noticed works well in my body, although be careful not to overuse as you can
develop flatulence. Find your limit and stick with it. C works wonders for overall health(well-being) and helping
to keep allergies at bay. I'm not a big fan of tablets or generic 3rd party vitamin c, and this one i feel is one
of the best out there. I take 4 capsules twice a day at minimum. Watch pricing, look for 2 packs and don't buy if
price takes those weird price jacks out of nowhere lol. At the time, i remember paying 2 paks(200 ea.)at under
$20. (which was a great deal at the time). My personal favorite form / brand of vitamin c of all others(so far)

Vitamin Super Hero (for colds, allergies, even shingles), April 29, 2010
This is my "go to" vitamin. I use it year-round at a varying dosages depending on the situation.
My preference for this particular company's form of vitamin C -
- It's citrus-free which is especially good for individuals that are sensitive to citrus
- It's free of other common allergens such as corn, gluten etcetera which make it a good choice for people with multiple food allergies/sensitivities. Sago palm is the vitamin C source.
- It's buffered (with magnesium citrate) which makes it easier to take in higher doses. Your stomach will thank you. If you're doing a vitamin C flush, your rear end will thank you;)
For example
- During cough & cold season as soon as I feel something coming on (sore throat, runny nose) I perform a vitamin C flush (2000mg an hour until bowel tolerance).
- When I work in hospital, giving massage to post surgical patients, I take 1500mg before and after the visit
- 2 to 3 weeks before allergy season I boost my intake to 3000 - 6000mg per day (divided doses)
TwinLab's Quercitin Plus C is also great for environmental seasonal allergies TwinLab Quercetin Plus C, 100 Capsules (Pack of 2). General ausggestion is for quercitin - Up to 2000mg daily divided dosage.
Note: good food sources of quercitin are apples and onions
- By the way when I had a bout of terribly painful shingles Vitamin C was at my side. Allergy-C in combination with other key supplements helped me to get over shingles in less than 10 days. On average shingle can run its course for 2-3 weeks. Yooooow!!
FYI: The US FDA minimum daily recommendation is just enough to prevent disease. That's like saying you should be satisfied with an income that is $1 dollar over the poverty level. Why pay your body minimum wage?

A lifesaver!, September 21, 2008
As someone with multiple food allergies, I was very tired of benedryl and feeling foggie all of the time. I discovered that a few Allergy-C would stop a food reaction and not leave me with a antihistamine fog.
