Vitamin C: Listening to the Experts
The Science, History, and Voices Behind an Essential Nutrient
by Carolyn Dean MD ND
Vitamin C: Listening to the Experts is a guide to one of the most misunderstood nutrients in human health. Part of Dr. Dean's Completement Formula series, it shows how vitamin C does far more than fight off a cold; it drives collagen production, supports the heart and brain, fuels the immune system, and quietly competes with sugar for entry into every cell you have.
Rather than repeating the familiar "take vitamin C for a cold" advice, Dr. Dean walks through the history and the research, introducing the doctors who spent their careers studying high-dose vitamin C therapy, and showing why the modest 90mg RDA leaves so many people quietly deficient.

Completement Formula Book Series
The Science, History, and Voices Behind an Essential Nutrient
Vitamin C: Listening to the Experts is your guide to one of the most misunderstood nutrients in human health. Part of Dr. Dean’s Completement Formula Book Series, it shows how vitamin C does far more than help with the occasional cold: it is needed for collagen production, supports the heart, brain, and immune system, and competes with sugar for entry into your cells.
Instead of repeating the familiar “take vitamin C for a cold” advice, Dr. Dean walks you through the history and the research, introducing the doctors who spent their careers studying high-dose vitamin C. She explains how much vitamin C your body may actually need, and why she believes the 90 mg RDA leaves many people short.
Inside the book
What readers like about this Dr. Dean book
Dr. Dean makes the science of vitamin C easy to understand, turning decades of research into a clear, engaging story. Instead of another pamphlet, you get the full picture: the history, the biochemistry, and the doctors who kept asking why this nutrient gets so little respect.

Why humans can’t make their own vitamin C

-
The competition between sugar and vitamin C
Learn how glucose and ascorbic acid use the same doorway into your cells, and why Dr. Dean says a high-sugar diet can leave less room for vitamin C.

Vitamin C, collagen, and the heart
Follow the work of Linus Pauling, Dr. George Willis, and Dr. Matthias Rath on Lp(a), arterial collagen, and the role vitamin C may play in cardiovascular health.

The pioneers of high-dose vitamin C
Meet the doctors, including Klenner, Cathcart, Levy, and Pauling, whose clinical work with vitamin C has been largely left out of mainstream medicine.
