Nutricost Vitamin C Powder, Ascorbic Acid, 1 LB, 454 Servings, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

呑みやすくて重宝しています。

小分けにして飲みやすいのでパウダータイプにしました。薄めればそれ程飲みづらく無いように思います。付属スプーンの半分を500mlくらいの水で溶いて午前中に、後の半分くらいを午後からちょっとずつ飲んでいます。個人的にビタミンCを抜くと肌荒れし出すので、食事であまり取れていないのだろうと思うので、小分けで飲めるパウダータイプのサプリメントはありがたいです。非遺伝子組み換えなのも良いです。リピすると思います。

日本の水道の塩素含有量が高すぎて、帰国するたびに肌荒れを起こしてしまう為、湯船に浸かる際はこれを2-3スクープ分入れて入るようにしています。 入れた直後は多少鉄っぽい臭いがしますが、5分ほど時間をおいたり、入浴剤を入れると気になりません。 ちゃんと中和されて肌荒れを起こさないで済むので今後も無くなったら買おうと思います。

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.

Dang this is great quality! Strong multi purpose too as a cleaner and vitamin lol

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.

* Update * - Nutricost also offers Natural Vitamin C from Acerola Cherries. I would suggest that over Ascorbic if you need high amounts daily. Ascorbic is cheaper but if you use high dosages frequently, it can POSSIBLY cause kidney stones/copper deficiency. Look up the maximum amount of how much Ascorbic Acid daily that won't cause issues, if you still want Ascorbic. Debating/researching what brand to buy? I did the same for many,many days on supplements. Read below! I love that Nutricost tests all their products. You can literally contact them, with the LOT# on the bottle and they will send you test results. Why is that important? Many companies for one do not provide tests results if asked, you will usually get ignored or receive a generic response. It is also important because a lot of supplements can have heavy metals/contaminates in them and there is no warning of this. An example would be, almost all Ceylon Cinnamon across the world will have some type of contaimenants no matter what. I purchased some from Nutricost, contacted them about what tests have been done, they asked for the LOT# on the bottle and I received the test results the next day. The tests showed all levels of contaimenants were VERY low / in the range we're the body will not be effected. Many spices have contaimenants so keep that in mind! We tend to cook with them and have no idea. Make sure to look up Third Party Heavy Metal Spice test results, you will find a few lists of which brands are okay to buy. One of the very few Supplement Companies I trust! BUY NOW! :)

It’s so nice to just scoop this into a glass of water rather than to take a pill. It’s part of my morning routine.
