User Reviews for vitamin c (ascorbic acid)

My gums used to bleed when I brushed my teeth. I started taking 1-2grams 1000-2000mgs daily many years ago and they haven't bled since no matter how I brush. Honestly that tells me that vitamin C most likely makes many other parts of my skin and gums stronger and more resistant to infection. Just give it a try for any skin condition and you might be surprised and even amazed like me.

my face appears more luminous; cream stings and burns when applied immediately after cleansing

I had cancer 34 years ago, was given not much chance to survive...I started right out of hospital, taking 5000 mg. daily (time release) gradually over the years have increased dosage to about 10,000 mg. daily. I am convinced that I would not have survived without vitamin C. I am now 80 years old and still taking about 10,000 mg daily.

Did not enjoy the rectal tablets, but other than this it was a very plea sant and worth willy experience

I have occasional wheezing in the chest due to environmental pollution. When ever I have a wheeze or coming down with any sickness, i will take 4,000-6,000mg of Non acidic vitamin C. It's a natural antihistamine only at high doses. I take 2,000mg daily now. I don't think it will harm my body because some doctors are giving up to 30,000mg straight into the blood with no problems.

I've taken vitamin c for almost 3 years; 500 mg tablet. I can't eat citrus fruit because of stomack problems. Along with a flu shot, I haven't seen the flu in almost 3 years. A good treatment for me.

Level of uric acid has been reduced after taking 300 mg tablet once daily for 1 month.

taking 1000 mg per day for two weeks eliminated a 20 year constant pain in my big toe joints. stopping treatment for 5 days the pain returned.

Use with lysine and preventative. Hardly ever ill.

I started taking 20,000 - 30,000 mg. daily of powdered ascorbic acid(vit c) in April 2012 for it's general health benefits. I took two fishing trips to Canada during that Summer. I'm a little fair skinned and a little forgetful about using sunscreen. On both trips my usual painful red burn and nausea didn't happen. I applied sunscreen on the first day of the first trip and didn't use any on the second one. No dry cracked bottom lip either. Also, after nine Months on Vitamin C, my mild bouts with Gout have gone.

I suffer from asthma and found that the prescription inhalers made my asthma worse when used daily. Upon asthma symptoms I drink a glass of OJ and also take 1000mg of vit c chewables. Immediate relief. Definitely an excellent adjunct to your meds. Also I've heard magnesium is great for asthma.

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
