User:IGR Plus Review 6
I have been recommending and using Solgar IGR Plus VM-75 (found in most independent health food stores) for many years with excellent results. However, it's true that the water soluble vitamins only last 4-8 hours in the body, so twice a day supplementation may be somewhat better than once a day, if you are not quite so healthy. (I still take the VM-75, and I'm in pretty good health for my age - 81 (2008).
Four Grams of additional Vitamin C. (4000 mg). Preferably split with 2gm AM and 2gm PM. This is a MINIMUM for continued good health. In the cold/flu season, make it 3 AM and 3 PM minimum. What is not well known is that Vitamin C is both a bactericide and a viricide. However, you have to saturate the blood to kill ALL of either present. If this is not done, and even a few are left - they quickly get back to strength. They double in numbers in about 200 minutes. If you know binary math, from 1 microbe to 1 million microbes in less that 400 minutes!
By the way, Vitamin C in these amounts will also tend to prevent mineral toxicity, as Vitamin C joins with all excess minerals in the blood, makes them water soluble and takes them out via the urine route. For the "average" person in fairly good health, I recommend Solgar VM75 1/day or equivalent, preferably taken with, or after, breakfast. This supplies the base amounts of B complex, natural E, D, A, and a good average daily amount of minerals.
