Humans, guinea pigs and fruit bats are the only mammals that cannot make their own vitamin C. Scaling up from animals, humans need at least 2 grams (2,000mgs) daily and arguably much more. Vitamin C is protective against infection. Sufferers of scurvy die from infections.
Ascorbic acid is the cheapest and best form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is toxic to all microbes and is a helpful part of treatment of the upper fermenting gut. Vitamin C is poorly absorbed which, for this purpose, is ideal! Microbes are present in the upper gut in millions, and in the lower gut in trillions. The idea is to gradually increase the dose until there is mild diarrhoea, i.e. one starts to kill lower gut microbes, then reduce. This is called taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance.
There is increasing evidence that many bowel tumours are driven by abnormal gut flora and fermenting microbes in the upper gut.
Ascorbic acid is acid, so rinse the mouth well with water after drinking.
If ascorbic acid is too acid, then swap to magnesium ascorbate which is neutral, but more expensive.
Recommended daily dose 5 grams taken in 500 ml of water.
1 x rounded scoop - enclosed - = 5 g approx
Children take half adult dose
Ideally take to bowel tolerance daily
MANUFACTURER’s NOTE:
Although the product does not contain Gluten we do not label the product as 'Gluten Free' as we would need to guarantee the product has been kept away from Gluten at every stage of the supply chain or test the batch for Gluten content. We would expect the product to be tolerated by coeliacs.
Vitamin C is a reducing agent, iodine is an oxidising agent and so, if taken at the same time, they will cancel each other out and not work. The key thing is that Vitamin C and Iodine (taken by mouth) should be taken apart from each other

Not peasant to take as a shot, but quick to take and get out of the way. Verified Purchase
I bought this along with the Sunshine salt, I already had the MSM and Iodine.
Me, my 2 adult daughters and a neighbour all started together.
I'm 64, still working full time on my feet all day in a Supermarket. I used to have such a drop in energy after a shift I couldn't do anything but sit in the chair till bedtime. I'm sailing through my shift now and back gardening and making things in the afternoons.
My eldest daughter (39) burst through the door, like a drug addict, demanding "I need some more of that stuff"
My youngest daughter(37) with 2 children under 5, who was exhausted all the time. Walked into the gym and her personal trainer said, "I can see you have energy back".
My neighbour, male farmer (61). I gave him a challenge, give up pastry and take the ascorbic acid every morning. 3 weeks later he's buzzing with energy and bragging about his flatter tummy and having to tightening his belt a notch.
There is only me, who seems to find it very acid to knock back as a shot first thing in a morning, but I immediately follow it with my coffee and it's forgotten.

I use it for the vitamin c flush. For me only got as high as 15grams before the earth opened.

Good value, easy to use Verified Purchase
I sometimes lapse and go for months without using this and then go back on it and feel so much better. It seems to have helped so much with Long Covid (with various, changing symptoms) since 2020. My daily requirement (bowel-tolerance) is currently about 20 grammes per day and I don't think I'd want to try to get this quantity via tablets - so this powder is a good option.
