i found ascorbic acid powder in my local gnc (uk) for £20 a tub ($40) i also found vit c pills 1000mg for alot cheaper will they both do the same thing or is the power better?

Yes they do the same thing.I take a dose of 8000mg per day,which would be 8 piils per day,this is why I use powder.Hope this helps....

I believe in high doses for vit C.

Vitamin C has shown to have zero effect on colds if you guys take it with then intention of aiding colds.

By all means, please post something supporting your opinion.

I happen to disagree, Vitamin C at high levels can fight alot of ailments including the common cold.

Definately check out the link in Kale's post.

I have been mega dosing VitC since Thursday. I am taking 2g at a time (pills).
