Hi Owen,
Just one question: I am taking up to 4 scoops (Pauling therapy product) a day and yet my bowel movements haven't changed. When I was taking that amount in tablet form I would get loose bowel movements. Why is this do you know?
Warm regards
P.V.
Maybe there was magnesium sterate in the tablets?
please confirm the product that are you are taking 4 scoops of, and what was the dosage/frequency of the tablets?
Sounds like your tolerance for vitamin C is quite high. Have you read http://www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm?
Another thought just occurred to me as I posted this, perhaps the powder is better absorbed because of the lysine. We know from Sherry Lewin (1976) that proteins (amino acids) help to chelate ascorbic acid in the gut making it better absorbed.
