5.0 out of 5 stars good quality, no additives May 29, 2012

By Doug Smith

I like this vitamin c because there no other additives, that was one of main requirements I was looking for and found it with this brand. I usually take vitamin c daily and have found mixing it in one of my drinks is the easiest and quickest way to load my system with this important vitamin. For storing purposes, I prefer the foil re-sealable bags for a longer shelf life, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) Bulk Powder 250 Grams (8.83 Oz). The cost is also less expensive than other brands I've tried (probably because of the foil?) but as long as the quality is good I'm not usually one to complain about a few dollars in price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay! February 28, 2012

This stuff is really great. I was paying $$$ for a vitamin c serum that turned a dark yellow well before I had finished using it. These days, I make my own batch of C Serum daily, in the palm of my hand with a spray bottle. I spray one squirt of water into my hand, and then take a small fingertips worth of the Vitamin C Crystals and dissolve them in the water in my palm. It takes about 15 seconds for the crystals to dissolve, and then it's ready to put on my face. Sometimes it stings, but my expensive Vitamin C serum would sting when I first bought it, and then the stinging would go away (probably because it was no longer effective). Anyway, a little goes a long way with this stuff, and I really like how it makes my skin glow after I put it on. I'm so happy I found this :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product! February 16, 2012

By J. Christman

I purchased this vitamin C because I became wary of the additives in the tablets I was taking. This is pure pharmacy grade ascorbic acid. I am following Linus Pauling's vitamin C recommendations and currently at 10 grams of vitamin C per day.

I had read where this powder was hard to swallow. Not true. I stir my 1/2 teaspoon dose in about 5 or 6 ounces of cold water and it tastes like unsweetened lemonade. Yes it's very tart but I enjoy it personally. For the record, 1/2 teaspoon is 2.2 grams - roughly the equivalent of taking 2 1000 mg vitamin C tablets but without the additives.

I really feel that this is an excellent product and I couldn't be happier with it.
