Just as "grist for your mill," I take all of my ascorbic acid in tablet form, and my Bowel Tolerance has worked up [over the past nineteen years] to over fifty grams per day [with nothing but the best of health to show for it]. I simply mention this to encourage you not to "short-change" yourself [of/with this most valuable of antioxidants] when dosing [ideally to Bowel Tolerance, several times per day]. Over the years/decades, to small a dosage has been the primary mistake made by both professional researchers and users alike.
