I always thought you *had* to ingest bioflavenoids with Vit C otherwise it
wasn't bio-available. Dee

Not really. Vitamin C is pretty well anything ascorbate. If it is
hydrogen, then it is ascorbic acid, and if sodium, then it is sodium
ascorbate. Natural vitamin C is normally in the form of a metal
ascorbate I believe. Only the man made C is pure ascorbic acid. Also
it is believed that the bioflavoids are very important, and those show
up in things like rose hips, but not in the artificial C.
