Dear Owen and Corey,
Thanks so much for your heartfelt concern! It's so nice to have a place to go where I can trust the advice that is given.
Just as you said, the calcium was the WRONG type of ascorbate to take in mega doses. I ordered the sodium ascorbate from Bronson Labs and got it yesterday and as you said Corey, it tastes waaaaaaay better! I can definitely take that straight on my tongue. I took 3 grams immediately and did not have any reactions to it, so for anyone else that it looking to do mega doses of Vitamin C, takes these two experts' advice and stick to the sodium ascorbate! They know what they're talking about!
Thanks again for your time and contribution to this site! Your caring is priceless!!
Much gratitude!! :)
