Ester-C is easier on the stomach. Use the ascorbate form of Vitamin C not ascorbic acid. The acid form is more likely to upset your stomach, is poorly absorbed, and must be converted in your body to be used. Taking higher doses of ascorbic acid can cause acid buildup (acidosis) and can increase your risk of osteoporosis. The best forms are magnesium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate. I prefer the former.

On a side note. Don't ever inject vitamin C - I did that one time & it felt like my leg was on fire for about an hour.

Just a guy with a little knowledge of nutrition, training, gear, & of course literature (hence the name Rimbaud). I've only taken two chemistry classes so I'm no Linus Pauling. I don't know where the story came from (I'm a little scatter brained at times). I've given myself B12 shots for years & then one day I decided to try injecting Vitamin C (HUGE MISTAKE).

Nature's way has a product called "the right c"

it is sodium ascorbate

originally they said it was twice as effective at Ester C.
