Nutricost Ascorbic Acid Powder (Vitamin C) 0.5 LBS (8 Ounce)

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Vitamin C has been shown to increase the absorption of Levothyroxine, a supplement for people’s with an underactive thyroid that can’t produce enough hormones. I seemed to be having some luck with the Best Natural’s brand of Vitamin C powder. However, when I reordered, the next order tasted like it had solvent in it. So, I threw out the entire canister, figured out that my Vitamin C tablets were worthless as even without a thyroid test I could tell that it wasn’t helping, and then I tried this brand. And I’m glad that I did. First, this has a mild flavor. It’s more like drink water than trying to drink unsweetened Tang. So, day after day, I can take this and not grimace every time I have to take a swallow. Another plus is that it dissolves easily, almost instantly. A few shakes or stirs and it’s in. With the Best Naturals brand, I had to shake it for about a minute to get it dissolved. Also, I found that with the other brand that I had to talk half the dosage to prevent stomach upset whereas with this one, I can add two scoops in 16 oz of water and it does not bother me. (This makes me wonder if there is a correlation between being easy to dissolve and being easy to absorb and if this is a sign of a higher efficacy vitamin C powder…) I was also concerned about whether it would work with Levothyroxine. Like the other brand of Vitamin C powder, it seems to help. My hypothyroid symptoms once again vanished when I switched from Vitamin C tablets. But the test results were the clincher. Now, I am doing lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and taking liposomal vitamin C with Citrus Bioflavoids in low doses throughout the day, so I can’t say whether this is due to this supplement only but now my TSH levels went from above normal to the low side of the normal range. And I’m happy that this Vitamin is part of my health care regime. If you are looking for pure, high quality vitamin C that is effective, is easy to dissolve, and is nearly tasteless, I recommend trying this brand.

This stuff is GREAT! Just a tiny little scoop that holds 1,000mg (1 gram) of Vitamin C. I put 4 level scoops of it in our glasses of iced tea, it gives a lemony flavor. Warning though, it's really sour, so for my tea I add sugar to taste to counter it, my husband likes it without the extra sugar. My uncle, a doctor, has taken 10,000+mg (10+ grams) of Vitamin C a day for years. It's a water soluble vitamin, so any extra C is eliminated through your urine, which is very good for your kidneys. Vitamin C is touted by experts as a miracle vitamin that can help fix all sorts of physical problems, but the tablets can be a pain. If you're a Vitamin C nut like I have become (since having serious kidney problems), drinking it in your drinks (including not just tea but any drink you choose) is a pleasant alternative to taking those bulky tablets or chewing the lozenges multiple times a day. I highly recommend this powdered version and am really happy I found it! This is my 2nd order, and I plan to keep on ordering it, I never want to run out. LOL Some have asked if this is L-ascorbic acid, so I hunted down the manufacturer's site, this is what they say: Nutricost Vitamin C - Nutricost.com https://www.nutricost.com/products/75/vitamin-c "Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble essential vitamin. It is a very popular dietary supplement due to its antioxidant properties, safety, and low price." From a Google search I have found that Nutricost is listed as a reliable producer of high-quality supplements with an excellent reputation. No, Nutricost didn't pay me for this review or give me any product for a discount or free, I just LOVE the stuff, so had to emote. <grin>

Dang this is great quality! Strong multi purpose too as a cleaner and vitamin lol

I love Vitamin C. I bought this so I could take many grams a day, at least 10. It got rid of my persistently clogged sinuses that no lifestyle factors could abolish for years. My sinuses cleared up in a couple of weeks. I had another chronic infection that also would come and go be healed with the use of Vitamin C. And I bought this not even a month ago when my journey with vitamin C began. Look up Dr. Andrew Saul and his research on megadosing of Vitamin C. ****Only issue*** (and a big one): Dont drink the Vitamin C straight mixed in water or any other beverage unless you are adding baking soda to offset the acidity beforehand. Vitamin C erodes the teeth. It is very sour and has a very low pH. It is good for the gums and gum health but I would recommend putting the vitamin C in capsules and swallowing it to avoid tooth contact OR drinking the vitamin C with a straw which is not as much of a safe bet OR adding in baking soda to raise the pH to at least above 5.5 so that no damage is done to the dentition. I have some sensitivity in my teeth after drinking the vitamin C and I like my teeth and I want to keep them, thanks. Other than that, best value for your money. Not made in China so less worry about heavy metal exposure. All in all a great deal!

Good supplement for our rescue horses!

Works great with my Methylene blue

Quality vitamin C for a good price. In high dosages (4-25g), helps me with general joint/muscle/tissue inflammation and resulting pain. I fill the powder in empty gelatin capsules (I use size "0," which holds about 1g of ascorbic acid powder/vitamin c) and take with a bit of food or bone broth. Dosage needs to be raised slowly (starting with maybe half a gram, then increase the amount every few days), or gas and/or diarrhea will result.

呑みやすくて重宝しています。

Good product

It has a slightly sour taste and is a brewed type. Therefore it is quite difficult to eat.

小分けにして飲みやすいのでパウダータイプにしました。薄めればそれ程飲みづらく無いように思います。付属スプーンの半分を500mlくらいの水で溶いて午前中に、後の半分くらいを午後からちょっとずつ飲んでいます。個人的にビタミンCを抜くと肌荒れし出すので、食事であまり取れていないのだろうと思うので、小分けで飲めるパウダータイプのサプリメントはありがたいです。非遺伝子組み換えなのも良いです。リピすると思います。

日本の水道の塩素含有量が高すぎて、帰国するたびに肌荒れを起こしてしまう為、湯船に浸かる際はこれを2-3スクープ分入れて入るようにしています。 入れた直後は多少鉄っぽい臭いがしますが、5分ほど時間をおいたり、入浴剤を入れると気になりません。 ちゃんと中和されて肌荒れを起こさないで済むので今後も無くなったら買おうと思います。
