Food Source Vitamin C
If you were to buy a Vitamin C tablet at the drug store you would be buying a lab made ascorbic acid powder. Now ascorbic acid is only a part of Vitamin C, not the whole picture. Now say if you were to eat a handful of Acerola cherries or peel an orange you would be getting ascorbic acid along with hundreds of other co-factors which all work in synergy to give you a well balanced Vitamin C compound. This complex is not easily replicated in a lab. That is because when it is found in nature it is naturally balanced.
