It should decrease DOMS, but I never noticed a difference even at 5gr a day..

Unless you take it in I.V. form you are wasting ~ 1350 mg every day....you should never take more than ~ 650 mg at one time, the rest isn't absorbed

Vitamin C helps with recovery after a workout, take it with your evening meal. It also helps with collagen production. Just make sure you take a non-acidic form with bioflavonoids. If you take it daily, your immune function will improve. Also very cheap for what it does for you. I know I will get flack for saying this, but pick up a copy of Franco's "the bodybuilders nutrition book". Very good indepth info about vitamins and minerals.

Throw a few grams of the powdered Vit C in a gallon jug and drink through out the day. Cheap vitamin water. Just don't carry the gallon around with you every where you go. You'll look like Arvilla's long lost cousin.
It gets degraded in water after a short while..
