I say its good, and even better when taken with L lysine.

I take 20 grams a day, along with a ocean of lotion and potions and I am getting well. Good luck

By all means, keep taking vitamin C! I've been taking 4,000 mg a day for 13 years now, and have not had a cold during that time. Vitamin C aids in the healing process of cuts, scratches and even surgery. More and more good things are being found out about it. Beware though, because the drug companies want to take C, as well as all supplements out of our reach. Why? Because healthy people don't need to buy their drugs.

It amazes me that people can promote the use of METAL and ACID in a bottle. It's not natural. You're only promoting CANCER when you argue the use of this stuff (and all other vitamin supplements for that matter). We all agree that the body should have an alkaline Ph? Why are you taking ascorbic ACID? This stuff makes your PH drop like a rock. These people who claim to have GREAT results over the years may be healthy DESPITE vitamin C and not because of it. You have to think of that side as well. Why do many people not get sick when on vitamin C? MAYBE because they are so ACIDIC that nothing wants to live in their blood. How do you think prescription drugs work??? It's ALL ACID. It all kills everything, including the person eventually. At the end of the day, if there is a major DEBATE on something health related, why would you risk your health like that? The other people on this forum might be right and I'm wrong. BUT I might be right which leaves you in a very bad position in about 20 years. Here's the last of my TWO cents - take a whole food supplement like powdered kelp - at least that has everything you need in the right ratios as nature intended.

For a healthy individual, I do not see an issue with ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate usage.

I made sure to read an article that was critical of ascorbic acid use. I've noted on my container of sodium ascorbate:

Contributes to a deficiency in copper

Leeches Calcium and magnesium

Oxidizes in the presence of Iron, chromium and manganese

Current RDA upper daily intake limit is set at 2000 mg.

Most of our diets are high in copper and calcium, and low in magnesium. I do not know about the business with potassium, except that the sodium ascorbate contains 110 mg of sodium per gram of the product. It is important to aim for a 4:1 ratio of sodium to potassium and not higher, like the classic of even up to 15:1 in the typical american diet.

No, u shouldn`t stop, I've heard that higher doses of Vitamin C show promise as cancer treatment adjunct. So, i think there is no need to stop taking it.
