Thanks for that Bex and i'm gonna give that a shot. I'm trying to avoid ascorbic acid because of its acidity but from what i've read this type of vitamin C is essential so i'm going to give it a try. Sodium and calcium ascorbates don't seem to work from the stuff i've read. As for salt i love the stuff so that's not going to be a problem. Does anyone here recommend any particular type of Vitamin C?
