? About Vit C

[Guest guest]

I went to the health food store after I called and they said they did sell

sodium ascorbate for $2.99 (8 oz bottle of powder).

I couldn't find it when I went there, so I asked one of the workers. She went

and got a bottle off the shelf. The label said " Citric Acid - lemon

substitute. " There was no ingredients listed. Nothing. It looked like a

homemade label. So I asked the clerk if she knew the milligrams per tsp. She

said to check a recipe book that they usually have conversion charts. I said

that I wasn't using it to cook, but to take orally for illnesses as Vit. C. She

looked at me kind of weirdly and said, " Well, you can still probably look in the

cookbook. " She also showed me a jar of Vit C powder for $22 (also 8 oz), but it

just said " Vitamin C " it didn't tell in what form.

My question. Is citric acid sodium ascorbate?? I didn't buy either since I

wasn't sure about the ingredients.

Thanks,

Kay
