            I used to get a bad flu twice a year lasting one to 2 weeks. Since high dose vit C , ive only had a sore throat and running nose for 2 days . Otherwise general wellbeing has been great.

            But saying that, ive been doing 1 to 1.5 hrs cardio everyday plus weights. And have cut the sugar and soft drinks especially coke

            @tharlow: The only thing I trust now is my own experience of the world, rather than what scientists/politicians/ideologues tell me is "the truth". I'm am empiricist. If, for instance, people say a certain medication is good for a certain disease that I have, I will try it with am open mind. It it results in an improvement in my health, only then will I conclude that it is beneficial rather than just a placebo.

    Vitamin C has also worked well for me, but I take 500mg of Calcium Ascorbate.

    I'm not sure of the exact dose, but I believe higher doses of Ascorbic Acid can cause kidney stones. Although I'm not sure if it's specific to that form or caused by Vitamin C supplementation in general.

  Before taking this people should watch some videos on "ascorbic acid" lest they are wasting their money. Hint: It's NOT "Vitamin C."

    Good exercise for your kidneys.

    If you suck them, is it better than chewing them? Can you swallow them? Because they rot your teeth…

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 13/09/2023 - 21:10

      I don't recall why they say to chew them but that's what I used to get my kids to do. I do know you're not supposed to brush your teeth after eating citrus because it can remove enamel. Maybe that's why!?

      If I remember correctly, I put a couple in a little water once and they fell apart. So if someone insists on taking them after viewing/reading up on it, maybe try soaking them in a little water for 20-30 minutes until they fall apart, swirl the glass, etc. Then add more water (etc) and down it that way.

      After looking into it years ago I didn't see the point. I can't recall all the details but basically there's several parts that make up "Vitamin C" but ascorbic acid is only the antioxidant part. So it's kind of like someone standing a few tyres upright in their garage then advertising it as a car for sale. The other parts must be there for a reason so who knows what removing them might do. I think it's made from sugar or corn syrup too which is hardly a healthy "pedigree." I do recall there were some studies, one concluding it may cause cancer, another showed signs of artery thickening. But we'll probably hear breathing causes cancer next, so…!?

      Take them just before dinner, by the time you finish dinner there won't be any vitamin c tablet in your teeth and your kidneys aren't processing just raw tablet.

      LOL. Gotta love browser tracking… My doctor said to take Vitamin D tablets. Next visit I told him the store only had "Vitamin D3" and he said, "Yeah that'll do." After commenting here youtube keeps suggesting a video that looks like it's going to explain a similar situation with D3 tablets. ;-)

        Oh it's not just browser tracking, the phone is tracking you 24/7 even if your GPS is off, even if your google assistant is off the microphone is working 24/7, all your photos are being scanned and info sent to Google, facial recognitions, objects, words of interest recognition etc. Even if you're offline will be uploaded when you get back online : )

          @drazenm: There's got to be some hyperbole in your comment. If you turn off Google Assistant your microphone isn't always on

          https://us.norton.com/blog/how-to/is-my-phone-listening-to-m…

          If you're implying that they're using the phones to spy on us so they could have recordings/blackmail of every person with an unrooted Android phone in the world, that feels far fetched

          Google already has to pay hundreds of millions of dollars on storage (as a guess, could not find any sources, Google Cloud/Drive pricing were the only results coming up). Why would they then go on to multiply those costs by storing 24 hours of audio per phone per day? For the off chance that they want to single out you, the little guy, and crush you with the all the might a global corporation can muster? It seems unlikely

          Who's listening to all these recordings to get the juiciest secrets? Are they just employed to listen to thousands of 24h audio files of people talking inane nonsense?

          How are they keeping it a secret when that's the sort of project that would take quite a large team of people. Who is Google blackmailing with this data? Who makes and sends the blackmail emails?

          I think corporations are as bad as the next guy but this sort of sentiment seems conspiratorial

            @SpainKing: Well audio doesn't need to be CD quality. Auto-convert to mp3 on the fly (especially voice which only needs a low quality bitrate, and you can store two separate recordings on the left and right channels of stereo too) and you can store thousands of files in the same space that normally only fits 10-20 high quality songs on a CD.

            I do remember hearing something about someone's phone mic still being on after they turned it off, and them getting some negative result from it. Can't remember what it was all about now.

            The cost of servers for audio storage they would just claim back on tax as one expense of running a business. They pay "rent" but get it refunded at tax time.

            And they've been able to convert speech to text for years, and it's dead easy to then search for specific terms - which could be a computer set up to search automatically as each file is converted. e.g. Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech-to-text software was released 26 years ago. So you can bet business, or at least government, have had more advanced software than that for at least the same length of time. Then a person only has to read/listen to the few recordings a program points to as containing words of interest.

            Anyone used to be able to listen to anyone else's mobile calls too, by simply being within signal reach of a mobile tower and using a "scanner" until calls were made more secure, and we know police today can listen using a device known as a "StingRay." I haven't been into it for years but I believe hobbiest scanners can still hear the frequencies, but it's just digital noise (like listening to a 56K modem) without a StingRay decryption module. The manufacturer is bound by law to only supply the module to police but I heard they sometimes get stolen.

            Can they do it? Sure. But are they? Who knows. For some people at least, yes.

  Thanks OP, bought a couple more.
  For those who are interested in facts rather than opinions, I might be able to help.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK218756/
  This is a nice summation of the relevant daily dose of water soluble vitamins such as vitamin C necessary for the continuation of life. For the vitamers of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid & dehydroascorbic acid) only 60mg per day is required, as low as 10mg per day to prevent scurvy). Yes, vitamin C is just colloquial for ascorbic acid - they are vitamers of the vitamin. They are one and the same. No difference. By the way, cooking destroys ascorbic acid.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4137695/

  Does ascorbic acid "rot your teeth"? Well, yes, if you vastly exceed the recommended maximum daily dose of 60mg per day AND suck on them continuously all day. This article has some nice pictures of what ph2.2 ascorbic acid does to teeth (enamel has a recommended lowest ph of 5.5) where the subject sucked massive doses all day every day for years and even kept tablets in his pocket. However at 60mg per day, there should be no damage at all.

  Against my better judgement, personally, I take 1000mg per day but wash them down with coffee & green tea every morning, the ascorbic acid doesn't sit in my mouth for long. I eat an orange a day too. I subscribe to Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling's theory on ascorbic acid, let the body take care of the surplus if there is any. And I just had probably the worst cold I've had for years, but put that down to the many covid boosters I've had over the last 3 years lol (/s)

  Unless a doctor outright tells you
  otherwise, you don't need extra vitamins. Just eat better. Vitamins cannot replace a balanced diet.

  Check out this video from Adam Conover. It's entertaining and it even has citations that nobody will ever click on!

    100%. The ultimate long-term ozbargain is a healthy diet with a wide range of fresh foods (different veggies, fruits, nuts/seeds, beans, whole grains). Beats supplements any day, except in rare medical circumstances. Unfortunately there is a lot more money to be made in selling processed junk and lots of supplement pills to give the illusion of nutrition, so they will keep trying to trick us all into believing that's better.

    Not necessarily true, unless you're getting regular blood tests your doctor probably won't tell you to take certain vitamins. But the fact is most people are deficient in something (particularly vitamin D). So having supplements in this case is better than not.
    Of course ideally you're getting regular blood tests and making up for any deficiencies through your diet. But if like most people you're deficient in something then supplements can definitely be advantageous.
