What about the Ester-C packets that you disolve?

Can one find Ester-C in buffered form? Is buffered better?

I use Ester C powder with bilflavinoids by American health.

If you want to take a lot, it's better not to take Ester C because of the fact that it is a calcium ascorbate.
Its about the forming of oxalate. Something to do with kidney stones.
Sodium ascorbate is a better choice.

'Now' even has the pharmaceutical grade.

I like HealthForce Nutritionals Acerola Cherry Powder, not acidic like most vitamin C.

An excellent choice for a daily intake is a chewable wafer with vitamin C (sodium ascorbate & ascorbic acid). Mixed fruit. 100% Natural.
By Natural Factors.

Very beneficial because by chewing a lot of vitamin C is immediately absorbed by the mucous membranes into the bloodstream.

Delicious also.

Vitamin C is very important, however . . .

Be sure to rinse teeth (with a few good swish & spits) very well after chewing or drinking vitamin C. It can be very caustic to the tooth enamel.

Do not brush right away, wait awhile. Acids can soften enamel and they need some time to harden back up. Lots of good water, ongoing, helps.

I do not know how long to wait before brushing or if there is something that will balance the pH of the mouth after taking vitamin C.

Best to avoid an chewy (gummy bear) kind of vitamins as they can really cling to the teeth.

Whatever happened to buying plain old ascorbic acid, and buffering it yourself with Bob's Red Mill Aluminum-Free Baking Soda?

1/4 tsp of vitamin C to 1/8 tsp of baking soda gives you a neutralized, non-acidic 1.25 gram dose.

Since you can get 8 oz. of Thompsons Powdered Vitamin C from Swanson's for 4 bucks and change, and a bag of the baking soda is 1.50-ish it's the least expensive thing going and just as effective as anything else you can buy. --Unless you want bioflavonoids, but those can be bought/taken separately.

I would say ester C as it has a high amount of bioflavonoids which are neccessary for absorption and availability of the vitamin. Don't wanna tinkle out all your C.

Sunkist CA navel oranges.
With a "splitting bottom" center.
(They're always the sweetest!)
