How much Vit C (sodium ascorbate) is safe for young children?

[Guest guest]

Every time my boys get sick with some kind of cold virus or any kind of

congestion, it does cause them a lot of regressions with their sensory issues,

behaviours, etc. How much vitamin C is too much for young children? My boys

are 3 1/2. I am currently giving them about 4-5000 mg per day spaced out over

the course of the day. Also, where can I get Lysine and what is a good brand?

Give as much as you can without causing diarrhea. My kids required

carnitine for proper absorption of the vitamin C. It will tend to

cause yeast overgrowth if it is pulling out viruses, so watch for that.

Local health food store. I use Henry's brand. Look for a brand with

very few additives and fillers.
