C-Salts Vitamin C Powder, Buffered & Stomach Friendly, 272-Day Supply

Good vitamin c

I purchased this due to the recommendation of Dr. Andrew Weil, and have been happy with it. I wanted a non-GMO vitamin C, and this nicely fits the bill. Unlike some other users here, I've not had issues with the effervescence troubling me. It takes just a moment for the fizzing to stop, and then it goes down really easily. Tastes good, too. I mix it with spring water, or with cold organic green tea. I often will also add half a lemon's worth of juice, including zest (because nothing beats living food!).My understanding is that of the various vitamin C sources and their absorbability, ascorbic acid is slightly more bio-available than these buffered mineral salts. Yet, these salts don't run acid by my teeth, which I value, since I take Vitamin C several times through-out the day. My understanding is that for optimal health, 10,000 mg. of C is recommended. Due to the frequency of my intake, I use just half a teaspoon of this at a time, which is a 2,000 mg. dose.Due to the absorbability issue, I do vary my Vitamin C source at times to include non-GMO ascorbic acid. It doesn't taste as good, but I keep it around as an alternative, and also because it's useful for putting into capsules to take on the go. When I run out of this product, I at least have the ascorbic acid as a back-up. But I'm always glad to have this item back in the house again, because I much prefer it.

I have wanted to up my vitamin C intake for some time now, but couldn't find the right combination of dosage vs. price vs. convenience. This product is just right. It comes in powder form, and easily dissolves in any liquid. I just use water because it has a pleasant, almost lemon-lime flavor that is easy to drink.I'm not sure if there is a measuring spoon in the bottle or not...I haven't been able to fish one out yet, but no worries, I just use a regular measuring spoon from the kitchen.One teaspoon delivers 4000 mg of vitamin C, so I started out with 1/2 tsp in the morning and 1/2 at night. I had no adverse effects at all, so after the first day I started doing a full tsp. at once, and have since upped it to 2 tsp. per day.Even with clean eating it is hard to get enough vitamin C from our diet. If you are looking for a supplement that is easy to use and has a good taste, this one works well, especially if you have trouble swallowing capsules. Highly recommended.

I searched long and hard to find a Vitamin C powder that is not made from corn, most of which has GMOs. This powder makes it easy to take high doses of vitamin C easily to ward off illnesses. When I feel like I'm getting sick it has stopped my symptoms within a day (I 'll take 1/2 tsp every four hours or so until I feel well again). It seems easily absorbed since it works so fast and reliably. I take it to bowel tolerance or until my symptoms are gone (and I do notice that I can tolerate more vitamin C (before getting loose stools) when I'm sick, so I've learned that taking it to bowel tolerance is really an effective way to use it. When I'm feeling well I just take 1/2 tsp per day. Can't say enough good about this. I think it even helps with COVID since it worked every time I'd start to have symptoms (cough, light-headedness, fatigue, increased heart rate) after going to the grocery store or being around people during the pandemic. This, along with nebulized hydrogen peroxide (3% food grade diluted 50% with saline water) once or twice during the day may have saved me from getting sick with COVID. Too bad health authorities don't tell people about this and nutrition/lifestyle/herbs that can help COVID. I do take the bioflavinoid quercetin with it as well.

I can dilute the sour to my taste but not the metal taste of it. Since it has no sodium ascorbate, I went ahead after a few days and added Himalayan pink salt to taste and that has definitely knocked down most of the metal taste. Will use the jar up and see if I notice anything untoward happening. So far so good, but no particular changes yet. I cut back to once a day on it just in case it is the zinc that is causing the metallic flavor. I might already be getting enough zinc from my diet.

Excellent product. I was hours away from an ER visit for severe constipation, and decided to try a a vitamin c flush instead. It was unpleasant and very painful (sorry for the graphics) but not as painful as stimulant laxatives or enemas, or, heaven forbid, surgery. I was fortunate. That prompted me to research of course, because I'm not normally a constipated person and figured I'd better try to figure out what was going on. I'm glad I did. My proton pump had stopped working (I'm 58 and female) and my liver and gall bladder decided they wanted some time off too. And while my stomach was dutifully churning up my food and pushing it into the duodenum and small intestine, I suspect there were disgruntled rumblings there also. Yep, factory wide shutdown. To make a long story short, I got everyone back to work and at the risk of sounding REALLY dramatic, I feel like the vitamin c flush saved my life, or at least the misery of ER treatment and cost. It's also just a great way to get your daily vitamin c, especially if you get seasonal allergies, which was the original reason I bought it. Very helpful in that area as well. A word for the wise: if you suffer from frequent indigestion after your meals and you have IBS and/or other digestive/elimination issues please refrain from antacids and especially proton pump inhibitors until you're CERTAIN you actually have too much stomach acid versus too little. Look up how to do the home test for low stomach acid and try that first. Betaine HCL supplements are very inexpensive and the information on how to get a lazy proton pump working again is readily available. I've had tremendous success so far. Also: if you do have low stomach acid you probably also have (gasp!) gut parasites! Deploy the exterminators, lots of great products there as well. As you've probably gathered if you're still reading this, I prefer to treat myself whenever possible. While it's not for everyone, if you're the intrepid type I sincerely hope this info helps.

Really helps out if you start to feel unwell.

Great for the beginning of a cold. If you catch it in time this knocks it out
