Vitamin C Powder

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price

Turned into a jello substance that was awful. Waste of money because I won’t use anymore of it.

We use this before we travel, add to a smoothie, no taste and feels good getting an extra boost of C.

This is a huge amount of vitamin C, I can’t imagine ever being able to finish this. The taste is fine, just what you’d expect from vitamin C.

As you can see from my images, a scoop of this pure ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is closer to 2 grams than the listed 1 gram. To me, that is a serious oversight. I have come to expect discrepancies between labels and scoop weights with bulk powders, which is why I measured this. You can see my scales basically agree. The smaller one is a bit more precise. In any case, I don't think 1.8 grams of vitamin C would harm me, but I also don't see any need to ever take that much. In fact, I think 1 gram is probably more than enough. Now, the scoop does have a half-mark on it, but the label says a serving is a scoop and a scoop is 1,000 mg. (1 gram). Also, it's harder to get half a scoop than it is to get a full scoop, for obvious reasons, so it's a bit annoying.That out of the way, I do like this supplement. I think it's a great value, especially as I'll be using a half scoop or less each time. If you mix it in a pint or so of water, it will impart a slightly tart taste. Everyone knows about vitamin C, so there's no need to go into that at all, but this is a good way to get a LOT of vitamin C for a low cost. I'm sure there are lots of uses for this for people who cook as well. In fact, that may be the target market for this, but I like it as a general vitamin C supplement (until my grapefruit are ripe, at least!).
