Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Does anyoneone have corn allergy or sensitivity? If not, most buffered C is good. Look for the least amt of ingredients in the capsule/tablet For children poweder is best- since less ingredients. I use acsorbic acid for myself also..if I run out of buffered.I like ALIVE for kids. Very potent!! Not like other Cs..it is corn free and good! Whole foods has this one.Iveta-- Sent from my Palm PreLexUU wrote:  What brand of vitamin C do you all recommend to keep on hand for adults? We do have access to a whole foods supermarket.  Thanks Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I like Alive, too. It's organic and comes from food sources - no allergens if I recall correctly. I use the vitamin C powder in my smoothies. (Company is Nature's Way, by the way). Magda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 My doctor gives me Sago C by Nutriwest.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks for the link! We have germs & gunk going around our house & community. It would be nice to boost my family's immune system w/ a good quality vitamin C. VItamin C Sheri recommended Vitamin C from this website http://www.vitapurity.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index & cPath=6 so I wanted to let you all know both the capsules and crystals are on sale! I'm not familiar with the crystals or how I would give Vitamin C to my little ones. How many of you take it on a daily basis? Since it is a bit pricey will it help if you only take it when you're sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I just ordered the Source Naturals sodium ascorbate powder from Amazon with Subscribe and Save plus free shipping, for $12 for a 16 ounce bottle, which seemed not too expensive to me. I take it daily plus more when I'm sick... I'm pretty sure the Source Naturals is non-GMO...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Has anyone else heard this? I took Biochem last semester (i am getting a B.S. but my school is mostly for DC/NDs) and my instructor ( a chiro ) informed us you take Vitamin C by starting off with 500 mg increasing each week to bowl tolerance about 2,000mg... then you need to go off of it for 4 weeks because your body will stop absorbing it if it is getting the same exact dose each day. I have never heard this on here or anywhere else but he is very informed and seems to know his stuff. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hmm, not sure. Is he saying this is because you've already absorbed all you need and it can't absorb more at that point? Maybe he meant that but it didn't come out that way. Winnie Re: VItamin CVaccinations > > Has anyone else heard this?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 , This is called pulsing. I give any supplementation 5 days a week with 2 days off whether it's herbs or vitamins. Another way is a week on and a week off, or the two weeks on and two weeks off. It's just easier for me to give Mon - Fri with Sat & Sun off.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 no way to know for sure unless you ask them the source of the sodium ascorbate - if corn it is GMO what country? if china, for sure gmo and maybe contaminated Sheri At 12:38 PM 9/23/2010, you wrote: >I just ordered the Source Naturals sodium ascorbate powder from >Amazon with Subscribe and Save plus free shipping, for $12 for a 16 >ounce bottle, which seemed not too expensive to me.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 For the first time, I bought Vitamin C Ester instead of regular C. It tastes like the white part of an unripe grapefruit rind, and it gives me the shakes. Is Ester C supposed to taste like that? Which kind is best for the body? Thank you gigsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Are you taking a powder??? I have taken Ester C for a long as I can remember but only in a tablet form. Has no taste at all.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yep, you can get Ester-C in tablets, capsules, or free powder. I prefer capsules or tablets.
