Welcome to the group. You will find a lot of support here, this is a

wonderful group of people. Your question about he vitamin C is a good

one. I am not sure of the kind you are taking, never heard about it

before, but 2 tablespoons are equal to 30 millileters; 1 gram is equal

to 1000 miligrams. What is the amount of Vit C that is in the dosage

you are taking. It should be written on the bottle or box.

I would take Flaxseed oil; 2 grams a day; as it has the same benefits

of the omega 3 fatty acids but doesn't give you that funky fishy

breathe.

I hope this helps.

No, it doesn't help.LOL Sorry.

I take Amalaki in powdered form and millileters and miligrams is more

foreign to me than grams. (I lived through the 80's.) The website info is

below.

The herb is highly recommended in Nourishing Traditions which is why I chose it

as my source for vit c. The package simply reads to take 1/4 to 1/2 tsp.

with meals 3 x's daily. I will continue the flax. I was concerned about the

fat.

Thanks - and thank you for your welcome. : )
