Promptly taking one teaspoon calcium ascorbate POWDER (or plain ascorbic acid) plus 4 more doses over 24 hours STOPS all colds and flu. Repeat if symptoms re-appear. Seems to be a really potent anti-viral

I have had incredible results with Vitamin C! I have moderate social phobia, and for the last three years have been experiencing symptoms of OCD and Panic Disorder. I have been prescribed klonopin for anxiety in the past, but only took it a few times because of the risk of addiction. So, I began searching for a natural solution to my anxiety problems. I have tried just about every vitamin or supplement that is said to help anxiety...Valerian Root, 5 HTP, B complex caps, and a few others. None of these supplements helped my anxiety like I'd hoped. I read a few articles online about how people with anxiety disorders can benefit from taking Vitamin C. So, I went out and bought some thinking that it was probably not going to work. Well, the day I bought them I took two 500 mg tabs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I felt calmer even the first day I took Vitamin C. I have been taking 1000 mg for the last few months and can't believe how I feel. My symptoms of OCD and Panic disorder are greatly reduced. I feel more calm now and I don't get stressed out easily anymore. I would recommend that anyone struggling with an anxiety disorder at least Give Vitamin C a try. Read More Read Less

My doctor recommended a high dosage of Vitamin C to help me with depression and schizophrenia. I took it with Ginko Biloba, Vitamin B and Ambilify. I have been able to reduce the Ambilify. Now I just take SBX which is a supplement that contains all these vitamins and it seems to work although my doctor is not convinced I can go off Ambilify I feel pretty normal now.

I take two grams a day, one in the morning and one at bedtime, buffered in capsule form. I also take allopurinol for Gout. Vitamin C added to the allopurinol is better than allopurinol alone for me, for preventing twinges. Buffering plus time release works for me to prevent stomach pain and gout attacks. Brand: Solary Super Bio C Buffered.
