Ik heb antwoord gekregen op het chelation forum over de vitamine C kwestie. (reacties bewerkt voor overzicht)
Quote van Linus Pauling Institute:
"One hundred percent absorption efficiency is observed when ingesting vitamin C at doses up to 200 mg at a time."
Reactie Brian McBlain:
Absorbance is 100% at 0-200 mg dose. Above that, less is absorbed until a 2 gm dose above which very little is absorbed. It is not a cutoff but a gradual decline. An optima tradeoff of about 1 gm an hour gets a lot absorbed.
If absorbance is 90% at 500 mg and 80% at 1000 mg, you still get 450 mg and 800 mg in you respectively. The non-absorbance is only a big deal when it gives you diarrhea.
Linus Pauling Institute:
"Once plasma ascorbic acid levels reach saturation, additional vitamin C is largely excreted in the urine."
Brian McBlain:
We (mercury toxic people) are using up our Vitamin C stores at a prodigious rate so don't saturate as easily. In other words: mercury toxic folk differ from the norm.
We do not reach plasma saturation levels easily. Too many tissues are screaming for more and offloading it out of the blood fast. So the kidney secretion does not kick in as fast for us.
