How to Make Buffered Alkalized Vitamin C–  Sodium Ascorbate

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid.  If taking too much at once, it can cause digestion and diarrhea.  Most people take a 1000 mg dose with food once daily without any problems, but it not unusual to take 1000 mg 3 x daily.  Regardless, Vitamin C is an acid, so if this supplement bothers your stomach, convert it to an an alkaline base which is called Sodium Ascorbate.  Here is how you mix it—

The average 1 teaspoon of Vitamin C powder is 3000 mg., but check your package to confirm this.

Sodium Ascorbate

1 oz. of 100% pure Vitamin C powder.  1 oz. is 28.4 grams or 28,400 mg.

Combine into the C, 1 teaspoon of aluminum-free Baking Soda or 4.73 grams

Mix well.

To Supplement

Put 1/3 teaspoon of Sodium Ascorbate powder into a glass.  Add filtered or distilled water.  Mix and drink.  Take vitamin C with or without food– most take with food.

As a Supplemental Remedy

If you have a cold or flu, you can use the appropriate tea to mix Sodium Ascorbate instead of water.  Such as, if you are taking Respiratory-Bronchial, Essiac, Sinus Tea, or any tea which suites your need, you can add Sodium Ascorbate.  If you are generally under the weather for example, try taking Sodium Ascorbate mixed into a tea made of white willow bark, and Immune Tea. The combinations are endless.
