If I understand this correctly, the following ratios would yield (percentages are very approximate):
1 part AA: 1part SB -- 50% sodium ascorbate, 50% sodium bicarbonate 2 parts AA: 1part SB -- 100% sodium ascorbate 3 parts AA: 1part SB -- 67% sodium ascorbate, 33% ascorbic acid (SB=sodium bicarbonate, AA=ascorbic acid) According to the folks at the vitamin C foundation forums, sodium ascorbate has advantages but so does ascorbic acid, so taking a combo makes sense to me. I like the idea of using the 3:1 ratio.
