@josh mixing bicarbonate with vitamin c might push it down the path to become an oxalate , idk if it is actually gonna happen, i just read in vitamin c literature that in the process of oxidizing , bicarbonate turns it into the oxalate

60 g $25The Doctor's best one on amazon is
250 g for $20Same product, I think.

@LetTheRedeemed just eat fruit plus some vegetables if you want

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.
just noticed I missed this comment. thanks for commenting. Have you tried it?

I have tried full and partial supplements containing acerola powder. Where the full is 100% acerola and the partial is a c-complex with about 10% acerola, As I'm a freak of nature and can't take most supplements, the acerola was no better in terms of my body accepting it. It very well may be better in quality as compared to synthetic.

I am going to try this vitamin C, sodium ascorbate. Per the product details page: "Sodium Ascorbate is non-acidic (pH neutral), making it gentle on the digestive system. "
This is not derived from corn. I was interested in Quali-C, but that is derived from corn. As we've all heard by now, all corn is GMO, even if stated as not being, due to cross-pollination, pollen drift which cannot be stopped — supposedly.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this "non-acidic" version of vitamin C? I like the idea of getting more sodium as well.

Ok but the bioavailability (of most buffered vitamin C) is supposed to be somewhat less effective. But if you need a high level, like 1 g, and you suffer from acidity, it's acceptable.
Here (link) it makes no difference but I don't follow their conclusion.

To correct your problem of stomach, you need to re-enforce the border brush:- L-glutamine + taurine and glycine (or collagen).
1° for the stomach line
2° as antioxidant
3° as moderator (excito-toxity)
For other readers:
- Pure Vitamin C Powder contains Q
- C ; it's manufactured in Scotland.
=> quality and reliability. the only source not from China. Fine.
I've ordered on iHerb.com 21.3 €. thanks. - When you see 500 mg acerola, it's probably not 500 mg acid L-ascorbic. And we are not sure to get the right quality.
L-ascorbic acid must have the right mentions:
- No heavy metals (less than 10 PPM in total, less 1 PPM for Hg). Certificate must be available.
- The right indications: between 20.5 and 21.5° rotation and/ or the CAS number 50-81-7. Or it's not trustful. Rubbish, at least 50 % not bioavailable.
Note1: the Scottish one has these specifications. = Label: Q- C.
Note2: The Chinese one is not bad if you can trust the source, the intermediary who will deliver: laboratory, wholesaler, individual trader? Be careful with the Chinese...
I prefer the Scottish one. Safer.
- L-glutamine + taurine and glycine (or collagen).

From the quali-c page:
Since 2023, our base raw material is GMO-free - wheat - from Germany which resulted in more sustainable final product which is also gluten-free. -
@LucH Thank you LucH. You always make me think about things I haven't considered.

So Quali-C comes from Germany as well as Scotland? In my light research on it, I thought it was only from Scotland. The Doctor's Best Quali-C on amazon was noted as being from corn. At least that was the response when I searched it. Also, it probably could be argued that wheat would be susceptible to the same pollen drift, i.e., there is no such thing as non-GMO.

Does anyone have a link to Charlie's store?
Also what are the benefits of adding citric acid to bicarbonate of soda in a bath?

@LetTheRedeemed oranges, citrus, veggies

Isn't Vitamin C not from whole food sources (ascorbic acid) problematic because it reduces copper?
