BulkSupplements.com Ascorbic Acid Powder - Vitamin C Supplement, for Immune Support - Ascorbic Acid Food Grade, Gluten Free, 1g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

First of all, let's take a moment and wait for all the amazing, well meaning hippies and planet earth enthusiasts to leave this review section. Go on, I'll wait tilI I hear your birkenstocks clop clop clop down the hallway before I begin. Heaven forbid anyone of them buy a product that isn't made from 100% organic and blessed by New Zealand made vegetarian duck farts. Yes this product comes from China, so by default everything is evil and cruel in the world and toxic and we're going to give ourselves cancer because it's not double certified and and kosher blessed by a rabbi's fart to boot. Wanting to use this product wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the logic in seeing 10K plus positive reviews stating how these products have helped people (rolls eyes).Now that it's just you and I, I'll continue. I'm here because I was searching for amino acids to buy in bulk without fillers. I wanted something priced fair and pure. After all my searching, Bulk Supplements had the ideal products. The only thing that was left for me to do was scan through all the reviews to see if such products would help me. I have a connective tissue disorder so I made it a point to buy all the aminos that had an effect in regards to tissues of the body. I also bought Glutamine as I read that helped people with their SEVERE bread/wheat/carbohydrate cravings as I have severe bread cravings for that and dairy. I work out often and can never lost the extra 25 pounds because of my food addiction to wheat and dairy. After one day I felt a difference so noticeable I logged in and bought the other remaining 4 amino Acids I needed but did not buy before do to not wanting to spend so much. But since they work and it seems most of these will last 6 months to a year, I opened the floodgates and bought everyone that was unique to me. I ended up buying about 8 products on my first purchase 6 weeks ago.Coming from someone who has tried adding coconut oil, vitamins, probiotics, nothing ever seemed to make much of a difference. It wasn't until I started taking amino acids that everything moved forward for me in my health goals. THIS......STUFF.......WORKS! I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm seeing progress in my energy and health. I want to add that I also bought the Potassium citrate. I can't EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW MUCH THAT ALSO HELPED ME! I work out every other day and I use the sauna for about 40 minutes. In conjunction with taking aminos and now getting about 5K (4700 the average, but I workout hard) mg of potassium citrate, I'm feeling so much better! Even in my workouts I had to increase the weight by about 20 percent on the machines I use, and I even had to add more reps onto my sets! My original workout felt like I never even worked out since taking these products! Now even with added weight and reps onto my workout regimen, I still feel like I didn't quite workout enough! But I keep my increases minimal as I don't want to go ahead to much. But I can't flipping believe how much these products have boosted what I can do in the weight room AND not feel like a gassed race horse when I'm done. This stuff is literally the MAGIC powder. And with how its helping me with regular health outside of working out and also keeping me from falling off on binge eating on pizza and ice cream, this stuff is it. I'll always be a consumer of these products.Since I already ordered 3 times from this company (LOL) in the last 6 weeks, I got three free sample products to try that I WOULD NOT NORMALLY BUY! But since they also helped, I ended up adding them onto my next order! And to those people that complained about getting the free samples being just a marketing ploy and other nonsense, BUGGER OFF! There are products I wouldn't have bothered to try but since I got to try them for free and I liked them, I added them onto my next purchase. Because they worked for ME. You're getting a product that could very well last for a month and free shipping, all you have to do is leave a review if you like it or not. Yes, what a scam bulk supplements is running (rolls eyes).As of now there are two other products I plan on ordering from them, the Melatonin and the BCAA 3-1-2 product. Again, I'm only doing this because of how much positive gains I'm seeing in my health and workout. Another bonus was I could never eat enough meat, I was always hungry for tuna, turkey, beef, I could never get enough and my grocery bill was always high. Now I can eat a normal serving of meat and I feel like I don't need anymore thanks to taking the Acetylcarnitine and the Creatine, components that are found in muscle tissue.How I take my supplements is as follows- I take one serving size amount of each one in the morning. Then in the evening I take one serving size of only the msm, ascorbic acid, acetyl carnitine, Arginine, L-Glutamine, D-Ribose, potassium citrate. I take this because of budget, I want what I have to last longer, but these products are most important in keeping my cravings at bay so I take them once more at night. You can take some of these 3 times a day it says, but I only do them all once, and what I just listed twice. If I was rich and could afford $300 in supplements every 2-3 months I'd take them 3 times day. But since I'm not I make them last :)In summary, what I take is what I feel my body needs. And I am 100% happy with the effects I have experienced. And as for odors like some people described when they open their packages, well.........Some of these are chemicals, aren't they? MSM will smell like a sulphur like smell, correct? Unless you want added scents to mask things (which I don't) I honestly have not had a problem with that. And for the foil cosing bag, what I did was go to Walmart and buy a package of the large sized mason jars and I use those to hold my amino's in. I can't see knocking off a star because of the foil bag seal. Just pour it in a wide mouth mason jar and get a measure spoon to dish it out.If you're wondering what products I've used with this company, if you're reading this review then this is the product I purchased and have in my pantry. I'm not rewriting a review for each item, so I am copying and pasting a review to use on every item I bought from them. Any other questions please ask, but I find that as a person with health issues and food issues these items have helped me beyond anything else I've ever tried.Why no voting buttons?

I am completely disgusted with Bulk Supplements. I used to buy Ascorbic Acid from them all the time and recently I just bought a new bag that now has an added ingredient of HPMC in it. It smells like paint when dissolved in water it makes the water super cloudy and foamy almost like it has soap in it. I will never ever buy this again and I’m so glad I didn’t drink it!

Eso me sorprendió el paquete trae bastante..muy suplemento deberíamos tener en casa todos.. excelente

Outstanding product. I just add a little in my water.

subir las defensas, si eso necesitas, pero su sabor es bastante fuerte.

As a long time consumer of thousands of milligrams of ascorbic acid daily in *tablet* form, I was enticed to purchase this ascorbic acid powder after reading the best single article on ascorbic acid that I've ever read: "Can Vitamin C Cure Ebola" by Steve Hickey PhD, Hilary Roberts PhD, and Damien Downing MBBS, MSB, Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, August 20, 2014.The authors state that aside from purchasing expensive I.V. sodium ascorbate treatments, ascorbic acid in powder form is more effective than any other form of *oral* Vitamin C (and is actually twice as effective as any mineral ascorbate [sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, etc.]). This ascorbic acid powder is also the least expensive form of Vitamin C available and contains no fillers.I had never tried ascorbic acid powder before (though I have tried sodium ascorbate crystals) as it had just been more convenient to purchase ascorbic acid *tablets* at my local big box store.Hickey et al recommend drinking ascorbic acid in water with a straw to avoid any teeth issues due to the slight acidity.I've noticed that because ascorbic acid powder has no fillers and because it is in powder form that it is much more quickly absorbed into the body and that I require less of it to produce the same effect as a larger amount of ascorbic acid *tablets* would provide (you know your body is approaching Vitamin C saturation by the tell-tale 'bowel tolerance' symptoms that Hickey et al describe in their paper).I also notice that any 'bowel tolerance' symptoms are much milder with ascorbic acid powder than with ascorbic acid *tablets*.From what I've read about ascorbic acid it can be easily taken up by many of the body's tissues without having to pass through the gut as long as the ascorbic acid is not bound in a tablet with its fillers.So I theorize that ascorbic acid in powder form is being absorbed and utilized by the body as soon as it hits the back of the the mouth, whereas much of the ascorbic acid in *tablet* form is not delivered and available to the body until it hits the stomach or intestines. This is why I think 'bowel tolerance' symptoms from ascorbic acid powder are much milder than with ascorbic acid *tablets*.Related to this, you can use ascorbic acid powder externally as a paste or dissolved in water for skin issues (you can read more about this in other reviews or on the DoctorYourself website). I've tried doing this with some success in the past by grinding an ascorbic acid tablet between two spoons -- the results were not very amazing. However, I've had much better results with a paste made from ascorbic acid powder.I have a small area on my face that gets red in the summer and stays brownish in the winter. After applying ascorbic acid paste on the area every other day for about two weeks the area is fading away, which I think is quite amazing.The only negative thing I can say about this product is that it's impossible to keep the zip-lock closure closed. Fortunately this is easily remedied using a clothespin or two.If you're worried about Ebola, read the article above, purchase a few kilograms of this ascorbic acid powder and set your mind at ease.UPDATED 3/12/2015: After using this powdered form of ascorbic acid for over a year after using a popular tablet form for over 10 years, I can say that this product is far superior to the tablet form. And the last two packages I received had zip-lock closures that actually worked. :)
