Vit. C, was: Re: HOW/WHY does iodine do its magic?????

[Guest guest]

I have used for several years, and am very happy with, a powder called C-Salts that is a mixture of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc ascorbates. A teaspoon mixed in water gives 4 grams of Vit. C plus 14%of Daily Value of each of the minerals. So you can take high levels of C without being excessive on the minerals. I take a lot of C, so it serves as my mineral supplement also. It is also the most economical buffered C I have found. You can read about it here: http://www.nutri.com/index.cfm/page/C_Salts/learn-about-c-salts.cfm?CFID=38570869 & CFTOKEN=14425941Blessings,JudyThey that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

What type of Vitamin C do you take ? Any special way of taking it ? Where do you get it from ?

I like calcium ascorbate but it would give me too much calcium in higher dosages of Vitamin C.

All of the Best,
