Thanks Sara, Didn't know this about Asorbic Acid and will look further into related copper deficiency. What I did find thus far is this from the Vitamin C foundation forum...
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2145 My usual dose is 5 grams which, believe it or not, many still consider a massive dose. There was a time when I too was taking 20+ grams daily but must have been at a serious deficit because I never reached what is known as bowl tolerance. Today, 10 grams, when feeling out of sorts is about my limit of comfort. Then again, I am taking it buffered with Baking Soda as it still fizzes. Kinda like drinking an Alka Seltzer, so, maybe its the baking soda thats causing the gastro rumbles at 10 grams. How do you take 20 grams.

I use currently about 20 grams of ascorbic acid a day. I hadn't realized about the copper problem till a friend was researching colloidal copper for another use and found the warnings about ascorbic acid. I did a google search on the two terms and found a variety of research verifying that there is a tendency for copper depletion with use of high amounts of ascorbic acid. Copper deficiency can make a number of problems, including making arthritis pain worse. I have arthritis, and feel I need to be replacing some of the copper. But, as Ode said, if you decide you might need some additional copper, be sure to also google copper toxicity - as too much is probably more of a problem than not enough.
