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?
Thanks
Anytime you’re using powders of any kind, it is not based on volume in other words you don’t say a teaspoon or so forth. You have a scale that measures to 1/10 of a gram that way you can figure out your milligrams. For example if you want to take 1,000 mg that means you’re taking one gram. To measure this you need to use the gram setting on the scale. You world measure it to 1.0. Or if you wanted to take 100 mg then it would be 0.1 which would be 1/10 of a gram or 100 mg. Hope that helps
