I've taking ester c before I think it's at least 2x as expensive but supposed to be alot more effective.

There are a few followers of Linus Paulings work on mega dosing with vit c ... I read one of his books "how to live longer and feel better"

at one point in my life I rook 48 grams of bit c a day for 2 months to see if it would help my asthma (it did not); but I know I didnt get as sick as much during those 2 months <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now I only take a moderate dose per day; ie ~ 5 grams.

oh I should mention that the most effective and echonomical (spelling) way I took the vit c was using powdered form ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate and putting in juice etc ...
