    While we're on the topic of Vitamin C, how much needs to be taken to have a diuretic effect, aka the day before a show?

    Are you using the ascorbate salt or the ascorbic acid?

    Good.

    While Sodium ascorbate is better tolerated by the gastric tract... it may effect the efficiency of your sodium manipulating plan. (I'm not sure if potassium ascorbate is commercially available.. but that would be cool addition)

    I'd go with 2gr of ascorbic acid every 2 hours.

    btw: Be careful not to combine vitamin C with loop diuretics. Vitamin C increases the diuretic effect of these medicines... particularly lasix.
