Don't take the ascorbic acid version of vitamin C! that version, so prevalent on shelves of stores everywhere, makes your body so overly acidic that your bones leach calcium in an effort to rebalance your blood ph.
To read more on this, do an internet search on:
+acidic +blood +"calcium from bones"
there are more results supporting this than negating it
Also, scout through the curezone "Alkaline/acid" forum. The posts there where they use ascorbic acid involve combining it with baking soda to alkalize it, so as not to become acidic in the blood. The forum also describes using ph strips to test your saliva, if you aren't sure if you are currently overly acidic.
Use a mineral ascorbate version of vitamin C instead of ascorbic acid.
For example, use sodium ascorbate, or calcium ascorbate. Some other Ok products are labeled as “buffered Vitamin C” and then when you turn the label over and read the back, they will describe one of the mineral ascorbates.
As for a source, one is http://www.swansonvitamins.com and search there for the word BUFFERED there are several there in capsules or tablets. If you’re more into powder, for cost effectiveness or mixeability, try http://www.valuenutritioncenter.com
They have 8 oz of sodium ascorbate powder on sale for $4.99.
Or do a Google for +"sodium ascorbate" +powder
I once overdid ascorbic acid, before I knew about this, and got so acidic I broke out in canker sores on my mouth.
Note: acid in the stomach and colon is normal and good, but in the blood and elsewhere is bad - and is what is referred to an overly acidic body.
