Detox C – Gluten Free Vitamin C Supplement
This Ultra Powerful Nutrient Helps Your Body Repair and Recover From Gluten Induced Inflammation…
Adrenal burnout, reduced immune function, and increased inflammation are just a few of the side effects caused by a lack of vitamin C. This crucial nutrient plays a major rule in the repair and recovery process of those with gluten sensitivity. Unfortunately, a multivitamin does not contain enough. Let’s take a look at 9 key functions of Vitamin C (ascorbate):
Vitamin C Found To Reduce Inflammation Caused by Gluten
A new research study has identified that vitamin C reduces inflammatory damage induced by gluten. The authors of the study state the following:
“Ascorbate decreases the mucosal inflammatory response to gluten…”
Research Resource: Allergol Immunopathol (Madr). 2012 Jan-Feb;40(1):3-8. Epub 2011 Mar 21.
Gluten Induced Damage Can Cause Vitamin C Deficiency
This is just one more reason to make sure that you are checking your vitamin and mineral levels twice per year. So many of us are cross contaminated with gluten on a regular basis, and lack of this essential vitamin could contribute to even greater damage. It is a well established fact that gluten can contribute to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Most doctors measure for iron and vitamin D levels as part of their standard laboratory follow up in patients with celiac disease. Unfortunately, only looking at iron and vitamin D is not comprehensive enough because nutritional deficiencies (and in this case – vitamin C) can reduce a patients ability to heal and respond to a gluten free diet.

Drugs/Medications that deplete or interfere with Vitamin C
Remember, if you are taking certain medications, you may also be blocking the effects of this powerful nutrient. Some of the most commom vitamin C blockers and disruptors are listed below:
- Aspirin and other NSAIDS
- Birth control pills (oral contraceptives and hormone replacement)
- Cyclosporine
- Corticosteroids and glucocorticoids
- Furosemide (Lasix), and other diuretics such as caffeine
- Heparin and coumadin (blood thinners)
Food Sources for Vitamin C
Food sources of vitamin C are essential. Keep in mind that with over farming of soil, environmental pollutants, use of growth hormones, pesticides, etc have all contributed to a lower level of vitamin C concentration in many foods. The following is a list of some excellent food based sources:
- High: Acercola cherries, broccoli, brussel sprouts, collards, guava, rose hips, black currant
- Moderate: Cabbage, spinach, citrus fruits, strawberries, cauliflower, chives, green peppers (jalapenos), red peppers, watermelon, tomatoes, kiwi, mango, cranberries, potatoes, winter squash, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple
Functions of Vitamin C Needed For Those Recovering From Gluten Exposure
Vitamin C is a potent immune modulator and it helps with antioxidant function. That means it is crucial for calming down an overactive immune response as well as protecting cells from ongoing inflammatory damage. Vitamin C helps the adrenal glands make epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These hormones are vital for reducing inflammation and regulating the stress response. When these functions falter, many doctors refer to it as ADRENAL BURNOUT. Vitamin C helps the body form collage, a structural protein that gives the skin elasticity and integrity… Some of the most common symptoms of vitamin C deficiency are bleeding gums, and easy bruising. Warning: Many forms of vitamin C are derived form corn. Corn is a major problem for those with gluten issues, and I have seen patients have issues with corn derived forms of vitamin C. Aside from the problem with corn, many brands of vitamin C are not fully reduced. This equates to a less potent supplement with diminished benefit. That is one of the reasons why I developed Detox C. Detox C is a fully reduced, corn free, ascorbate (vitamin C) with absolutely no fillers, no grain, no yeast, no MSG, no dairy, and no sugar. There are no hidden chemicals or preservatives, just pure vitamin C. There is absolutely nothing in this product that is not listed on the label:
Most vitamin C products on the market are counter productive for those with gluten sensitivity because they contain hard to digest fillers and are produced from vitamin C. Each tabsule of Detox C contains 1000 mg of fully reduced pure vitamin C.
FAQ’s
- How many should I take to help fight inflammation and aid repair? Vitamin C is very safe to take. The typical adult dose is 3-5 grams per day. Detox C can be taken in much higher doses (up to 10 grams/day) without fear of toxicity or negative side effects.

Claire Musso (verified purchase) –
It is terribly difficult to find quality supplements especially made without bad additives such as magnesium stearate for one. We all deal with navigating through this battle for our health while we are being sabotaged by every front. NATURAL FLAVOR is in everything! Just this week I’ve found it in Celestial Seasonings teas, cat food, even in a pat of butter in a French restaurant!
So to be able to buy this great vitamin C product is a blessing. It digest beautifully. Thank you Dr. Osbourne. I’ve enjoyed your videos too. Very grateful to have you, and the other few good docs, still around.

I am a Vitami. C advocate! I love Detox C because it comes in I gram tabsules and I know Dr Osborne would not put anything bad into the formula. Upon researching my old Vitamin C supplement, the supplier could (or would) not tell me what all was in it and the country source. Source safety has become very important to me. Thanks for speaking and producing the truth.
M. Boucher –
I like that this vitamin c is grain free and doesn’t have a ton of fillers.
Jeannie O. (verified purchase) –
To be perfectly truthful, I take so many supplements that I can’t tell which ones help me. However, that being said, I have been taking Detox C tabsules (generally 5 gr/day) since I ran across them several years ago, and I have had only one or two illnesses. And I binge took them–one every 20 minutes–after I started getting sick when I ran into stomach flu at my daughter’s, and I never got it. Since then, I make sure to have a good supply with me whenever I travel.
