• Can children take Optimal Vitamin C Powder? at 11/14/11 4:50 AM
  • Can we give the children Optimal Vitamin C Powder? And if so, what are your recommended amounts for a 3 year old, a 5 year old and a 7 year old?
    Thanks for your help
  • Hello - One may give Optimal Vitamin C to children. Vitamin C levels depend on the person. I recommend you consider starting out with a 1/2 teaspoon per serving for all of them. If you notice loose stools, simply reduce the amount given. There is no harm in the loose stool - just too much vitamin C. You may give Optimal Vitamin C a few times a day at 1/2 teaspoon per serving. It is more important to keep levels of vitamin C up throughout the day rather than taking a large amount once or twice a day. That said, mixing Optimal Vitamin C in their water bottle is perfect as they'll receive some vitamin C all day long. If mixing in their water bottle, I'd try to put 1 teaspoon in there if they are drinking it over a period of a couple hours or so. This goes for adults as well. Best Dr Ben

  • What is the difference in this supplement & the lypo-spheric vitamin c powder? Which one do you recommend & for what reasons? I understand that lypo-spheric is supposed to be easily absorbed, is this one absorbed as easily? Thanks!
  • Melanie - Optimal Vitamin C Powder is not as well absorbed in high doses as Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C. If you plan on drinking water throughout the day, then I recommend the use of Optimal Vitamin C Powder mixed with a couple capfuls of Electrolyte Concentrate. http://www.healthegoods.com/electrolyte-concentrate-20-fl-ounces-bottle-bodybio.html This combination is what I drink every day and during exercise. This way you get a little bit of vitamin C all day long and it is well-absorbed. You also stay hydrated and increase your levels of magnesium and other electrolytes. If you want to take higher doses of vitamin C less often, then you want to take Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C instead: http://www.healthegoods.com/lypo-spheric-vitamin-c-liv-on-labs.html Best Dr Ben
