Vitamin C

[vintagesf]

Hello,
Could someone please recommend a safe vitamin C supplement brand in the US? I have tried pure ascorbic acid powder, but it made me sick.
I have taken a vitamin C with bioflavonoids before, but not sure if they are safe since they are fruit-derived. What's your opinion?
Also, does anyone tolerate grapefruit?
Thanks!

You might try Nutribiotics brand sodium ascorbate. It is vitamin C that has been buffered with sodium.

I cannot eat grapefruit. It makes me itch fiercely which is one of the ways I react to fructose.

Most Vitamin C pills that I've seen on the shelves today have added sweetener so they taste better. Basic Vitamins has an unflavored pill: www.basicvitamins.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1856

If you can find a grocer or pharmacy that carries Basic, they tend to always carry a version without any additives.

Nature Made also has unsweetened pills: www.naturemade.com/Products/C-Vitamins/Vitamin-C-1000-mg
