ok, so there is a wide variety of naturally occuring acids found in
food- this is a good thing, and I would assume they are in some sort of
balance. I have had amazing results combating anaphylaxis using this
product, along with alka seltzer gold, and it often reverses the
swelling. If not, I used to have to dig out the epinephrine and the
antihistimines.
I have experimented with using the ionic silver to stimulate my immune
system when my throat goes blooey, and it helps too, but not as good as
the emergen-c. I am very happy it is not happening much these days.
I do not care much if there is a little aspartic acid it it, since it
is such a good product, and I mostly eat only real food, no junk.

On another forum they are discussing the (possible?) damage of the
aspartic acid in Emergen-C.
Wayne, you have often recommended this, especially as a quick
pick-me-up.
What are your thoughts on this?
Hanneke
Well, you can get Emergen-C without the sweetener...which I believe
I will from now on out (hearing my favorite pick-me-up is poisonous
is like finding out my favorite uncle is a serial killer!). In
researching this topic a bit more,
I ran across these posts about it:
<icon5.gif> Emergen-C contains Aspartic Acid
Based on all of the positive responses I got from my last post, I
decided to try the Emergen-C. I tried it for a few days and was able
to keep it down. I could tell a difference (for the better) after
taking it. However, yesterday I was on another forum that was
talking about the artificial sweetener aspartame. Someone wrote in
and said that was made up of 40% aspartic acid. I remember reading
that on the "other ingredients" list on my Emergen-C box
<yikes2.gif> (but didn't make the connection at the time).
I am not a scientist/chemist but I am very hesitant about taking
this now.... Which sucks because I was really starting to like this
stuff and its benefits. I'm not sure what to do. <shrug.gif> Can you
all give me your opinion, here are some things I've found so far:
http://www.unhinderedliving.com/aspartame.html
Even though both phenylalanine and aspartic acid are amino acids
that are present in the food we eat, and are safe when eaten
naturally in foods with other amino acids present, taken alone and
in elevated quantities they are neurotoxins which can permanently
damage the developing brain and nervous system of the fetus, if the
child is lucky enough to survive the potential destruction by the
maternal immune system. Aspartic acid is an excitotoxin, which
stimulates the neurons until they die(5).
