Notes from the Editorial Supervisor

Having recommended Bronson Laboratories’ vitamin C supplement, Dr. Pauling has taken it himself. According to “Vitamin C, the Common Cold and the Flu” published in 1976, vitamin C in crystal form (pure crystal) is the best format to buy and it can be bought from Bronson Laboratories. The crystals are manufactured without excipients, coloring agents, and fragrances. It takes time and energy to produce it in tablet form. Although pure crystal form is cheaper, taking it in tablet form will save us from inconvenience. When I went to study abroad at the Linus Pauling Institute, I began to take Bronson Laboratories’ vitamin C following Dr. Pauling’s advice and have continued to take it through importing it from the laboratory. It has been 40 years since I have started taking it, but I have never caught a cold during this period.
