All foods have Vitamin C in them. Especially those foods they had on pirate ships - which were: potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage and beef, liver, and vegetables and even fruit to various types of sea food, and so many other things that the British and other sailors had on board including grains and nuts.

The other components, cofactors and co enzymes found in real Vitamin C (in real fruits, and vegetables and humans and animals) are: Rutin, Bioflavonoids (vitamin P), Factor K, Factor J, Factor P, Tyrosinase, Ascorbinogen, Ascorbic Acid. All of these work in vital and complete concert with each other to do all the things “vitamin C” in our bodies does.
No supplement pills or powders (or drinks) have all of this.
And even if some company decided to gather up all of these components, or synthesize them from scratch, that super high tech pill could still never ever mimic what the real vitamin C and all its co factors does that is already in your body, that you synthesized on your own – not even remotely. Nor could those molecules in your pill or powder once again, remain intact while being exposed to all manner of criteria which will invariably include, air/oxygen, sunlight/daylight, heat, and digestive enzymes, to name a few.
I never said citric acid was as strong as hydrochloric acid. ?? Two different acids - just like ascorbic acid is different. Ascorbic acid however is the most labile of all three.
By the way - the Rum you mentioned can also make you sick. Being sea sick and drunk is not a good combination.
