Nutricost Ascorbic Acid .5 Pound

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Vitamin C has been shown to increase the absorption of Levothyroxine, a supplement for people’s with an underactive thyroid that can’t produce enough hormones. I seemed to be having some luck with the Best Natural’s brand of Vitamin C powder. However, when I reordered, the next order tasted like it had solvent in it. So, I threw out the entire canister, figured out that my Vitamin C tablets were worthless as even without a thyroid test I could tell that it wasn’t helping, and then I tried this brand. And I’m glad that I did. First, this has a mild flavor. It’s more like drink water than trying to drink unsweetened Tang. So, day after day, I can take this and not grimace every time I have to take a swallow. Another plus is that it dissolves easily, almost instantly. A few shakes or stirs and it’s in. With the Best Naturals brand, I had to shake it for about a minute to get it dissolved. Also, I found that with the other brand that I had to talk half the dosage to prevent stomach upset whereas with this one, I can add two scoops in 16 oz of water and it does not bother me. (This makes me wonder if there is a correlation between being easy to dissolve and being easy to absorb and if this is a sign of a higher efficacy vitamin C powder…) I was also concerned about whether it would work with Levothyroxine. Like the other brand of Vitamin C powder, it seems to help. My hypothyroid symptoms once again vanished when I switched from Vitamin C tablets. But the test results were the clincher. Now, I am doing lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and taking liposomal vitamin C with Citrus Bioflavoids in low doses throughout the day, so I can’t say whether this is due to this supplement only but now my TSH levels went from above normal to the low side of the normal range. And I’m happy that this Vitamin is part of my health care regime. If you are looking for pure, high quality vitamin C that is effective, is easy to dissolve, and is nearly tasteless, I recommend trying this brand.

This stuff is GREAT! Just a tiny little scoop that holds 1,000mg (1 gram) of Vitamin C. I put 4 level scoops of it in our glasses of iced tea, it gives a lemony flavor. Warning though, it's really sour, so for my tea I add sugar to taste to counter it, my husband likes it without the extra sugar. My uncle, a doctor, has taken 10,000+mg (10+ grams) of Vitamin C a day for years. It's a water soluble vitamin, so any extra C is eliminated through your urine, which is very good for your kidneys. Vitamin C is touted by experts as a miracle vitamin that can help fix all sorts of physical problems, but the tablets can be a pain. If you're a Vitamin C nut like I have become (since having serious kidney problems), drinking it in your drinks (including not just tea but any drink you choose) is a pleasant alternative to taking those bulky tablets or chewing the lozenges multiple times a day. I highly recommend this powdered version and am really happy I found it! This is my 2nd order, and I plan to keep on ordering it, I never want to run out. LOL Some have asked if this is L-ascorbic acid, so I hunted down the manufacturer's site, this is what they say: Nutricost Vitamin C - Nutricost.com https://www.nutricost.com/products/75/vitamin-c "Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble essential vitamin. It is a very popular dietary supplement due to its antioxidant properties, safety, and low price." From a Google search I have found that Nutricost is listed as a reliable producer of high-quality supplements with an excellent reputation. No, Nutricost didn't pay me for this review or give me any product for a discount or free, I just LOVE the stuff, so had to emote. <grin>

EXCELLENT QUALITY AND PRICE.

Volume at low cost Bitter taste Doesn’t dissolve easily

Quality vitamin C for a good price. In high dosages (4-25g), helps me with general joint/muscle/tissue inflammation and resulting pain. I fill the powder in empty gelatin capsules (I use size "0," which holds about 1g of ascorbic acid powder/vitamin c) and take with a bit of food or bone broth. Dosage needs to be raised slowly (starting with maybe half a gram, then increase the amount every few days), or gas and/or diarrhea will result.

I’ve gone through my entire bottle and I love it! First of all, ascorbic acid neutralizes the chlorine found in tap water. I use 4-5 scoops in every bath and I have noticed a huge difference in the water quality. When running the bath my bathroom smells like a public pool, just riddled with chlorine. After a couple of scoops the chlorine smell completely evaporates! I’ve also noticed a huge improvement in my skin and hair. Both are noticeably healthier. I also use it when I make coffee or tea with tap water. Not only does it neutralize the chlorine but then you also benefit from the vitamins and you cannot taste it over the coffee flavor. Highly recommend.

I have ordered this multiple times,it is a good powdered vitamin c. Dissolved in plain water,very tart,I mix it with a buffered vitamin c from another brand,keeps me feeling better. I believe it's non-gmo, if that matters to you. Very large container,lasts a long time,delivery was very fast. So I would recommend it. However as humans we are all a little different, so maybe buy the small container to start off. Vitamin c is crucial for maintaining your immune system.

Easy to take and good
