Exactly how much VIT C should i take.?

Chewable or just as a capsule supplement?

I think as a supplement, it's around 1000mgs a day, but from reading past posts from people taking chewable vit c they were taking alot, like about 2-3000mgs a day (at 500mgs per tablet).

Btw, can anyone recommend a sugar-free chewable vit c brand? I've looked in my local health food shop and on the internet and they've all got sugar in, all I could find was a sugar-free effervesant which leaves an odd taste in my mouth.

I live in the UK, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get hold of overseas brands.

Now that is not TRUE, that is your own opinion, however i think that Vit C helps.

Some have been cured by it, ie oceonside. and noptical got cured aswell by putting it in his routine.

Does anyone have a link to the website were I can buy chewable vitamin c, sugarless, cherry flavour 500mg? I tried going to the GNC website, but I couldn't find this.

Or any other sugarless, chewable vit c, thanks.

I'm one of those who finds it working.

I'm in the Uk too. I use the efervescent from Tesco (1000mg, sugarfree), mostly the raspberry flavor cos it's lovely, very cheap too, less then a pound for 20. (I used to buy pure Vit C capsules, opened them and used the powder only, but they are too expensive.)
I put 2 in a bit of water in the morning and 3 in the evening before bedtime, and drink another 2 or 3 doubles during the day. So that is about 10-12000 mg. When i have a cold, i drink 1 every hour.
Yes, i know its a huge amount, but any less and i don't get the effect.

I also alternate it with organic apple cider vinegar. As there has been posts about it, i drink shots of it, a shot of vinegar with same amount of water. I drink that 3-5 times a day. If i need a quick fix i drink it every hour and after 4 or 5 shots all the white coating is gone from my tongue. It's also good for my digestion and the excema on my hand is almost fully gone. It's not as tasty as the Vit C tho, but works just as good.

I drink both solutions with a straw, making sure it doesn't touch my teeth, and drink it fast.

So in my opinion it is the acidity that makes it work.

I still have tonsilstones, but see them less and less lately, not sure why, i'm conducting a no milk product experiment, lets see what happens.

I have posted about these things several times in the past

The only time it doesn't do the trick is when i'm dehydrated, so i sip water all day long.

The best thing is that i can eat now without needing to brush after as my tongue stays clean of the white stuff. I still brush (with tung brush) in the evening before i go out tho as sometimes towards the end of the day i feel i need a bit of refreshing.

It's been working for me for more than a year. I would not exist without it.

I truly hope this helps

Were they cured solely because of Vit C?

Hungrygirl,

What is all that acid doing to your teeth???!!!!!

If you drink it with a straw, is it basically only coming into contact with the back of your tongue? So are you basically keeping you mouth and throat in a constant highly acidic state?

I'd like to give this a try, but I'm worried my teeth will dissolve!!
