Joy and gD -- I've given up for now on the idea of taking only whole food Vit. C because it's too expensive. So, I take some of it, but I mostly take synthetic Vit. C. I take a time-release formula, which helps with the problem of uselessly peeing it out.

Joy -- why did you choose the chewables? I know some people need to take Vit. C supplements in a buffered form.

gD -- you need way more Vit. C than you can get from an orange, but yes, eat the orange, too.
