The Vit. C will boost your immune system, and help balance your body and lips. Try adding L-Glutamine into the mix. It balances PH in the body, and helps combat acid reflux from candida. I posted my recipe mix that has cured me of both the reflux and my lip problem under acid relux cure, and it's all based on creating a PH to make it impossible for Candida to thrive. Make sure your apple cider is raw too, it makes a huge difference in speed and recovery.
