We often receive a question about converting the amounts of our Vitamin C from recommendations based on supplementing with ascorbic acid (sold as Vitamin C). Many will ask, "How do I equate the mega-dosing of 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid to your Vitamin C?" The 'logical' answer would be, "(4) X 250 mg Vitamin C complex tablets will give you the equivalent" but, that would be wrong.
We can not simply convert one dosage to the next as we are not dealing with equivalent materials or similar materials. The ascorbic acid method (chemicals), taken in high doses, becomes a *pro-oxidant , as it is a chemical.
Rather than focusing on: "How much of the food do I need to equate to the same recommendations based on chemicals?' the question should be: "how much of the food supplement will I need to take to receive my desired goal with the vitamin?"
(*Pro-oxidant is the opposite of Antioxidant, Pro-oxidants work in the development of Free Radicals and could be a causation towards Cancer development)
The important thing to consider is our bodies are of nature, and require foods in a natural form. Supplements are or were intended to provide the bridge in our nutritional gaps. Chemicals can not and will not satisfy this need as they are incomplete, or isolated, chemical nutrients void of food factors such as: proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, enzymes, lipids, etc.
Grown By Nature's Vitamin C is delivered to your body by concentrated oranges. When you compare that to chemical source vitamin c, sold as "ascorbic acid", that chemical substance is produced from hydrogenated sugars which is then processed with acetone.
We're not dealing with comparing oranges to oranges or even oranges to apples. Instead, we have to compare our oranges to hydrogenated sugar and nail-polish remover.
Check your current multivitamin or any supplement, you will probably find these toxic ingredients in there also, unless your bottle is from Grown By Nature. There’s a reason for what I do…
5 hour Energy simply gave me a platform to shout from when they gave false advertisement "It's key ingredients (5 Hour Energy) can also be found in everyday foods like "Avocado, Broccoli, Bananas" …Thanks 5 Hour chemical (as the energy is used from your body to detoxify from your body)

Thank you for viewing Grown By Nature's new Blog By Nature page.
Grown By Nature was founded in 2005. Growing up as a child, I never imagined I would be where I am today owning a supplement company. In fact, if my way came about, you would have been seeing me playing on the New York Yankees breaking all sorts of pitching records. Yet, my life has been led in an entirely different direction, where I know I am living up to my purpose and calling in unveiling and revealing truth behind the deception in marketing.
It has always been a passion of mine to stand up for what I believe in and I am trying to live up to my word always. In college, as an athlete, I took all sorts of supplements. After college, I discovered and was able to attribute my kidney and bladder infection during college to the overdosing of the chemical supplements I was downing each day.
It is my goal with this blog to present the information that I was fortunate enough to be led to and share with you the dangers of chemical form supplements. I will aim to offer you a better solution; so that you may impart what I share with you with others.
If at times I come across as delivering a "sales pitch", I am and will make it the best pitch I can offer; always founded on verifiable truth. With all I present, please do not take my word for it, but let what I offer spark your interest to dig deeper to unveil the truth behind the deception that we are constantly subjected and bombarded with.
I thank you for your interest and look forward to working with you in the pursuit of truth in supplementation. Remember, "Not all supplements are
Grown By Nature, but they should be..."
