Consensus on a good Vitamin C source?

@josh
Potential issues would be the source of ascorbic acid, if it's contaminated with metals as it often is, and would they absorb through the skin. Another concern with standard Vit-C is the toxic mold remnants from the manufacturing process and if they would cause any issues transdermally.The same questions and concerns would apply to citric acid as well.
I'm guessing you're not using Quali-C in the bath as that seems prohibitively expensive.

Thanks @BioEclectic. damn! Didnt realise citric acid has the same issues as ascorbic acid, there goes the bath for absorbing co2, though it makes me feel so good in the morning, think ill try the co2 bin bag again.
Yeah unfortunately not using quali-c for the bath, just orally, probably cheaper to bath in Perrier.

@josh I've heard of using baking soda in bath for co2

What about acerola powder, which is vitamin C derived from cherries? Though, it's usually much more costly and the dose is larger to get an equivalent dose to synthetic.

Thanks @LetTheRedeemed @Mossy. Sorry this may be a silly question, do you need the pair the baking soda with an acid to release the co2 into the water or could you just use baking soda which would absorb into the body and from inside the body release co2?
