Sodium Ascorbate for a 17 month old?

[Debobu]

Hi

I give my son vit C everyday-should I be giving him sodium ascorbate instead?
How much is recommended and can it be taken every day for maintenance?
Thanks!!!

The problem with SA is it doesn't contain bioflavonoids so in turn will deplete what you have. for a 17 month old I would to acerola powder(DD will take this in water) or maybe amla powder. I also think camu camu powder is high in C but I don't know a ton about that one.

What are aecerola and amia powders?
Never heard of them!
Thanks
