I knew I was talking a risk, but did not realize just how bad that particular crap was!

I have been off it for 4 days and they are crusting up and fading.
I had some Dr Best & ordered 1 kg of PureBulk.
I guess at a few grams a day, most might tolerate it but at 18g or more then the total you get of this processing crap becomes poison.
Has talc too.


Are you referring to vitamin c bought a Target or a brand called Target? I am just starting to take vitamin c powder and was saddened to see the Soloray I bought had made in China on the label. I suppose I would rather be told than it be hidden.

I looked at the Dr Best you mentioned and it is made in Scotland so I might order that going forward. The PureBulk seems to be a better deal but do you know where it is made?

Target, sells [Deleted. rather not mention specific products]. Which is the product.

I went with Purebulk because of the many mentions here, just search & see.
I would prefer non corn VC, yet it has gone scarce in its Source Naturals form. Others brands are too costly for me.

The Purebulk looks like it has the best reviews of any I have read and with the amount you take it is more cost effective than others.

If I end up only needing 2 to 4 grams per day I can go with the Dr Best and if I need more the Purebulk will be fine with me.

Do you ever get the niacin flush?

Yes. It is not that objectionable to me. At 2g Niaspan, 1 ea at sunup & dinner.
I find IR at 4 to 5 g with my VC gives the least rush, once I get momentum going...

I have started taking Niaspan together with fermented garlic. It blunts the rush.

Update,
VC can leach impurities from brass.
I have gone to these. They also are a much better ID for 000 capsules. Way faster, the big end unscrews rather than needing to be pushed out.
Also Dr Best sandy crystals are a nightmare in my process, Pure Bulk stays put in my funnel make it even faster. The full to the top funnel & the BBQ stick ram make production great

On the Pure Bulk VC my rash is crusting over like a sunburn, in less then 5 days. Still healing, I could be half over it. Kidneys took a hit. Bun 23, creatinine 1.14.
The rash is on the tops of forearms & hands. Also below both ears.

Ordered celery seed & olive leaf. Some say they get more consistent results from these than Hawthorn berry.

Slow release niacins, like niaspan, are the ones one has to be cautious about liver damage. At least regularly monitor your liver enzymes and take it once a day only, if you can't take immediate release niacin.

Hmm,
Thanks. I was worried about some of the bad reviews of my Bulk Supplements stash. I may order Pure Bulk.
