RE: OT: Sodium Ascorbate and teeth enamel

[Guest guest]

I've always heard the chewable vitamin C's were harmful to tooth enamel. But I

don't know if it was a specific type of vit. C or just all chewables.

OT: Sodium Ascorbate and teeth enamel

Does anyone know if taking Vit. C in the Sodium Ascorbate form is harmful to

tooth enamel?

Sodium Ascorbate does not - it is non-acidic, Ascorbic Acid does - THESE

ARE VERY DIFFERENT

I recommend Sodium Ascorbate

Suggesting it be used for a toothpaste

SODIUM ASCORBATE CRYSTALS

(3.1 cents per gram of C) are used to avoid the acidity of ascorbic

acid by sensitive persons. Many like the slightly salty taste as a

substitute for table salt. Its sodium content (131 mg per gram of C) may be

objectionable to those with hypertension or water retention problems. But

this form is used in intravenous drips where dozens of grams/day of sodium

don't seem to be a problem. Recent research indicates that only sodium

chloride (table salt) may be the culprit. Anyway, sodium is a necessary

ingredient for the body and a sodium-free diet is not recommended. Sodium

ascorbate can be added to many foods such as milk and soup without

affecting taste. It's also used as a sugar-free, additive-free, substitute

for toothpaste (brush and swallow) for double use of your sodium ascorbate

crystals (never use ascorbic ACID on teeth). Since sodium ascorbate is

usually used for vitamin C megadoses, we don't offer a tablet form since a

large excipient intake would result.>

http://www.orthomed.com/mystery.htm

Start with pure ascorbic acid crystals or powder. Then after you learn to

read the needs of your body, switch over to capsules or tablets. Always

take these with water. Over a long period of time ascorbic acid powder or

crystals could cause topical damage to the enamel of your teeth. Capsules

or tablets will not do this.

Chewables are buffered of necessity to protect the teeth

http://100777.com/health/teethcare

he resulting SODIUM ASCORBATE is non-acid, very pure and a thousand times

more soluble than vitamin C.

http://www.beta-glucan-info.com/vitamin-c.htm

It can also be used as a sugar-free, additive-free, substitute for

toothpaste (brush and swallow). Never use ascorbic acid on teeth. Sodium

Ascorbate is a much milder form of Vitamin C and ascorbic acid is highly

acidic.

Ah, that's right. I'm assuming because of the acid in Ascorbic Acid. Thanks

Sheri N!

And using Sodium Ascorbate as a toothpaste and substitute for table salt...

great ideas!

I think it's just ascorbic acid that harms tooth ennamel.

Great. The reason I asked is that I am having a hard time with my teeth showing

age. They're yellowing and staining horribly (my dad's did) and it's rather

upsetting. I've never had a super beautiful set of teeth but they weren't

horrible, either. Now that I " m taking the Sod. Ascorbate on a regular basis I

just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to make matters worse.

For some reason the tea I now drink instead of coffee (due to hp) seems to

stain my teeth much more. Sigh.

I just don't feel like I can live without a warm, comfy drink in the a.m.

Hey Sheri,

I'm glad that's cleared up too. When my Ester-C runs out, I want to invest in

a large bottle (or however it comes) of the right vitamin C for my family. This

could be great for Henry's teeth too. He could certainly use all the help he can

get with them.

Sheri, I know how you crave that warm drink in the mornings! ) Have you

considered trying Redbush/Rooibos tea? Many love it as an alternative, and

it doesn't stain like black tea does. Have a look at

http://www.africantea.com/About_Rooibos_Tea/about_rooibos_tea.html# - I love

it.
