Somewhat changed my mind on this initial post after some experimentation. I still feel it is a great idea to take C in its natural form through whole lemons and whole grapefruits too (if you aren't on meds as g.f. can mess with meds.)

Howevever...some things happened and I suddenly wanted to try more Vitamin C than is in a whole lemon and grapefruit.

Since I have found few things to be more acidic than ascorbic acid and since sodium ascorbate only works better if your blood pressure can tolerate the salt and if you kidneys and other body parts can tolerate the effect baking soda can have on them I looked for another solution. What I have found works wonderfully best is to take ascorbic C with lemon juice from concentrate (or the real lemons if you have time to squeeze that man;y) so that I am getting alkalized while I'm getting the C. I get unsweetened lemon juice from Amazon or Vitacost, organic, and mix them together with water and sip on that throughout the day. It is amazing how much this helps me with adrenal, and therefore thyroid, slumps.

Linus Pauling said to take 2 grams a day if an adult. But for someone with a health issue, like me, I think that taking 4 grams a day, at least while feeling in a slump, is way more helpful.

This kind of therapy also helped me with a knee problem I suddenly had. 2 mg a day had no effect, but with 4 mg the pain went away. Didn't know why I had that pain, for days. Usually if I have a pain white willow and/or a north pole magnet taped to the area with Nexcare will do the trick. This time it took mega C.
