To Dianne,
Yes Linus Pauling explains that most animals make their own
Vitamin C. And that a 150 pound person would need 8000
milligrams of C a day to equal an animal.
However Dogs do not "always" make enough. Check this out
with a Hunting Dog. One who gets little exercise except a
walk. Take it Hunting for a long day. It should come back
completely worn out and will sleep for a week However if
you give it 1000grams of vitamin C -- it will recover in a
day or two.
In case some one has never seen a real Hunting Dog. Given
a field to hunt, they will run fast all day, or until they
are really worn out.
Same thing with me. work in an office all week then; on a
nice weekend work in the yard for two days. then feel very
sore for two or three days--UNLESS I took several thousand
grams of powdered vitamin --which kept me from getting ,
feeling sore muscles.
Any person who thinks supplements do not help should try
this: Work out way too much. Then test to find out
if Vitamin C helps, Several thousand milligrams- no
puny 60 milligram tablet. ( 1000 milligrams equals one
gram: Powder is cheaper, take 1000 mg every two hours)
