Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Doc, It doesn't mention sodium ascorbate or any other form of ascorbate except ascorbic acid! In Health, Steve ps - In a quick scan of several books, all that I found was sodium sensitive individuals should be careful with buffered sodium ascorbate, but all sources reitterate " ascorbic acid as the purest form. ----------------------------- Dear Steve, Thanks for researching that. Perhaps that book of yours can answer my question as to whether or not one should use Acorbic Acid or the salt Ascorbate form of vitamin C and if there's a difference. I have always tended to go with the acid form of a vitamin for myself as I personally get better assimilation when I do. I'd be interested in others viewpoint on this as well.

As a matter of fact, in that same book previously referenced, it calls for 3-5 grams of vitamin C (in divided doses) to " lower serum uric acid levels " ! Hope that helps, Steve ----------------------------- Couldn't this much VIT C trigger a gout attack? My brother had a virus coming on and his dr recommended large doses of Vit C. He is prone to gout anyway, and ended up in the hospital & was on crutches for a month.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Thanks Steve, I think I'll modify the formula to use Ascorbic Acid instead of the ascorbate. I'd really appreciate it if anyone has done this flush to add their two cents before I post it to the files.
