Are we wasting supplements?

Rereading the ancient science, they keep saying that if a nutrient isn't "bound" to glucose, (i.e. there is no insulin present) it won't get to where it's supposed to go.
One reason high vitamin C may work is that the sugar-like vitamin C molecule can induce the pancreas to release insulin. Thank you Dr. Levy for finding the research on this.
This coincident insulin release might explain both the need and success of high dose vitamin C.
Just maybe, taking smaller amounts -- with fruit, per above, -- would work as well? Another question for the Vitamin C Foundation Laboratories...

As you read earlier in the book, sugar is what carries vitamins, minerals and nutrients through the bloodstream to help them find their way to where they need to go, and an organ won't accept vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients without sugar to assist it. Taking your supplements with natural sugars ensures that the liver and other parts of the body can actually use them.
