something to point out is that even though there is a lot less vitamin C in beef (and probably many meats) the stuff is more bioavailable than it is in the fruits, roots, berries or pills
i also have found it helps a lot though... i just go for oranges and orange juice mostly when i feel a cold coming on and it goes away a lot faster
Very true. Beef is the bottom layer of my personal food pyramid.
You can do what serves you best. But meat is not to consider as a vitamin C source. With around 2mg per 100g it does not deliver any significant addition for vitamin C. But many fruits deliver high amounts of vitamin C.
well, you could dig deeper what carnivore and paleo people have found in their researches but it makes sense to me... complexed things do have a way of going in further, compared to more loosely assembled things like solutions... a lot of stuff goes on between the stomach and intestines while where the things are actually absorbed may be at various distances into the process and a lot of losses can occur in materials before they get to the organ that actually absorbs them (and the biggest and most important absorption organ is the large intestines, which is usually about 5-8 hours into digestion before food passes into the absorption stage for most nutrients
When I did a fast search on brave it would say, that the small intestine absorbs most nutrients and vitamins.
