Will PT in water throughout the day stay potent?

Post Number:#1  Post by ofonorow » Wed Feb 08, 2012 5:00 am

Owen, I was wondering if it was a good idea to put 4 scoops of heart tech in a 24oz water bottle and drink it through out the day without loosing its V-C quality. Thanks, Pat


From what we know - vitamin C can degrade by 50% (but only 50%) in four hours in H2O. Pure sterile water causes less degradation. (Copper ions are a primary cause of the breakdown). Concentration matters, so the higher concentration, less water, slower the break down.

Based on this knowledge, lets say you wanted 6 grams - 2 scoops - why not add another 6 grams of vitamin C powder or sodium ascorbate to the water? Then you are guaranteed at least six grams into your system and can sip throughout the day?

Owen, would you mind saying how it is you came to know this? We are having a discussion on the OptimalC FB page.

This is the figure scanned from Sherry Lewin's 1976 book VITAMIN C: ITS BIOLOGY AND MEDICAL POTENTIAL that shows vitamin C concentration in water. Note the asymptotic slope is such that about 50% is lost in 4 hours and then the curve levels off. In the discussion Dr. Lewin mentions that concentration, ions, temperature, etc. affect the drop off of vitamin C in solution.
