Answer 4

Vitamin C is found in a wide spectrum of popular foods, but occurs most commonly in citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and grapefruits, as well as tomatoes. The sugar-like vitamin easily oxidizes in air and is sensitive to both light and heat. Ascorbic acid is a relatively fragile molecule and may be lost from foods during preparation, cooking, and/or storage. In spite of the fact that vitamin C is easily destroyed, it has the ability to preserve foods by virtue of its role as a reducing agent. Leafy greens such as collards, spinach, and turnip greens are good sources of needed vitamin C in either raw or cooked forms. Most foods, however, yield maximum amounts of ascorbic acid when eaten raw or minimally cooked. Other good food sources of vitamin C include rosehips, strawberries, watercress, papaya, and mangos. Potatoes and green vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cabbage also provide this essential nutrient. In addition to natural sources, vitamin C may be obtained in synthetic derivatives of glucose. Supplemental forms include tablets, capsules, powdered crystalline, and liquid forms.

Answer 5

My favorite for V-c is tomato sauce! Better to be cooked fresh with whole tomatoes simmered down (reduces salt intake) but canned is ok too. When buying canned, I mean crushed tomatoes, whole tomatoes. Not the already made heat it in the microwave type, because that has ALOT more salt & preservatives in it.
Broccoli & brussel sprouts are great, too.
Green vegetables (most) have v-c (green beans....)
On other route, - Rolaids, Tums & most antacids (but I wouldn't turn that into a routine)
Or, call your doctor.

Answer 6

Yes....lots of vegetables contain vitamin C....dont you know that red bell peppers contain more vit c than oranges? also included in the list is papaya. You can also take vitamin c tablets..its .generic name is ascorbic acid. If you dont want to swallow tablets, there are effervescent tablets that melts in cold water and can be taken like juice. Its available in the drugstores.

Answer 7

Why not just buy some organic Vitamin C tablets?

Answer 8

Take a pill. I suggest a Multi-vitamin. Really fruits aren't healthy as they used to be with them being genetically altered. Heck people are picky with tomatoes. Heck whats better pesticide, or genetic altering.

Answer 9

Parsley is probably the most potent Vitamin C bomb without being a fruit.

Answer 10

You'll find high levels of Vitamin C in red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli and spinach.

Answer 11

Yeah, vitamins.
