I have had a problem with constipation caused by Cardio- C, presumably because of its hydrophilic nature. I drank extra water but I am afraid to use it. I have a high fibre diet & I've never been constipated before. since dropping back onto vitamin C (double dose) the problem has not returned
Any ideas?

This seems to be a very rare reaction, and from your experiment, it is connected to something other than vitamin C, either the lysine, proline or stevia. At some point, vitamin C will overcome the constipation, and you might consider adding more C to Cardio-C, or keeping the vitamin C constant, and slowly reintroduce the Cardio-C back into your regimen.
If your guess is correct, you might try Tower's Cardio-Ade - as it does not have the proline.
