July 25, 20188 yr Vitamin C.Can anyone recommend please what manufacturer they take, that produces the least side effects - excess acid for example, and also comes in at a reasonable cost.
July 25, 20188 yr Many expats order from a company called iHerb. Easy to do, reliable, and much cheaper than buying here. Keep orders under 50 dollars and usually no customs/tax. I order Vit. C made by NOW : C-1000 250 Veg Capsules. very good check out website and price ....
July 28, 20188 yr Can I ask the obvious question as to why you’re not getting your RDA of vitamin C in your diet? Vitamin C is probably the hardest nutrient to be deficient in, especially in a country where fruits and veggies are (comparatively) dirt cheap. Fruits with the highest sources of vitamin C: CantaloupeCitrus fruits and juicesKiwi fruitMangoPapayaPineappleStrawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberriesWatermelon Vegetables with the highest sources of vitamin C: Almost all of the Brassica family (Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, turnips, etc.)Bell peppersSpinach and other leafy greensSweet and white potatoesTomatoes and tomato juiceWinter squash And many more. Sourcing your vitamin C from plants also gives the added benefit of lots of dietary fiber.

I was diagnosed with a condition from my ankles up, on the lower part of my leg. Whereby the pigment of my skin went dark. I was advised to take additional Vitamin C tablets, and low and beyond the colourisation disappeared. Excuse me for not remembering the name of this ailment.
July 31, 20188 yr raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries Are these available in Thailand? Local or imported?

Fresh blueberries are pretty east to find even upcountry, fresh rasberries and crabberries likely just at upscale places in Bangkok. Expensive. I don't know ehere from. Dried cranberries, you can find easily. Frozen berries, including blueberries, rasperries and mixed berries, any Tesco has, even upcountry.
