Re: Vit C - tolerating (like Mag)

[Guest guest]

Jim,

Are you taking tablets or powder. Often it is the filler

in the tablets that causes Diarrhea. Vitamin C only

last 2 to 3 hours in the body it is water soluble.

Have you tried breaking up the tablets and taking

them through out the day at intervals. Ester C is non

acidic, stomach friendly it is a water based process that

combines VC with calcium without chemical solvents.

It could very well be an option for you.

HORMONES - ADRENAL PROTOCOLS

Vitamin C 3000mg three times a day

> I have to balance it w calcium and the diarrhea no happen.

Is there a similar " balace " for Vit C (simple ascorbic acid, not

including all the useful cofactors). I took about 3 g one day, got

diarrhea, then dropped to 1g, still got it, then dropped the 1.2g and

STILL got it. As people have said their tolerance seems to be what

they're adrenals need.. I can't believe that my adrenals only need

less than 500 mg/d - unless Vit C stays in the body a while, so I'm

stil " working out " the relatively huge 3g dose. Unless it's those co-

factors that are the balancing nutrients.. Did someone say once that

Ester-C or an ascorbic acid complex will be tolerated better?

Hi Jim,

My experience was that Armour gave me diarrhea - until I got on a good dose of

HC, it was awful. I could barely take 500mg a day. Now, I use 3000-4000mg a day.

I use Natrol Ester C because it is easier on my stomach.
