I have ordered Vitamin C powder and have received the buffered type by mistake. I think it has magnesium to neutralize the acid. A pound of it has less Vitamin C in it than a pound of ascorbic acid, because of the magnesium or other buffer. Therefore, it seems to me that you would need to use more than a tablespoon of the buffered to get the same amount of vitamin C as you do when using the ascorbic acid plus soda. A tablespoon of ascorbic acid has 12,000mg of vitamin C. How much buffered does it take to equal 12,000mg of C?

It is playing Russian Roulette. The FDA would love for some of us to kill ourselves with liposomal vitamin C, so they can outlaw it. You have to add baking soda, or can can use pre-mixed Sodium Ascorbate. Since Sodium Ascorbate is dirt cheap, I do not understand why so many people are making their own with Ascorbic Acid plus baking soda. Sodium Ascorbate is $13.79 per pound at iHerb (cheaper than the bulk-size NOW Ascorbic Acid): http://www.iherb.com/NutriBiotic-Sodium-Ascorbate-Crystalline-Powder-16-oz-454-g/10178?at=0 It MIGHT be possible to use Calcium Ascorbate or Magnesium Ascorbate or some other ascorbate, but Sodium Ascorbate is the standard. If anyone knows for sure, please say something.
