Thomas DeLauer: The Vitamin C Mistake Most People Make
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Take vitamin C daily to reduce cold incidence by 45% and shorten duration by 59% (based on study with 1,000mg/day).
- Prioritize vitamin C before illness strikes – immune cells need 100x more vitamin C during infections, and deficiency worsens symptoms.
- Choose liposomal vitamin C for better absorption (water-soluble vitamin C is rapidly excreted otherwise).
- Support collagen production with vitamin C to strengthen mucous membranes (first line of defense against pathogens).
Supplements & Protocols Mentioned
- Vitamin C – 1,000mg daily dose shown effective in study.
- Liposomal vitamin C (specifically Purality brand) – enhances absorption and retention.
Notable Quotes
“When we’re sick, we can end up having an increase of a hundredfold when it comes down to vitamin C inside the cell compared to the plasma level.”
Bottom Line
Take 1,000mg of liposomal vitamin C daily to prevent and shorten colds, especially before illness when immune demand spikes.
