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.
You seem to say 1 oz of ascorbic acid with 4 grams of baking soda. That seems like the wrong mixture. I find that equal amounts of the two ingredients works well. When mixing with water, you get bubbles. A little more of either ingredient does not seem to produce bubbles.
Question: How is an oz. of the vitamin C powder measured? What measuring spoon can be used?
