A member asked:
I have chrons disease, which hasn't gone into remission yet, taking 400mg of cymzia every 4 weeks, should i avoid taking vitamin c ? everybody around me seems to be getting sick, just curious if vitamin c is bad for my intestines. from what i understand,

Vitamin C OK: There are no known interactions between vit. C and cymzia. Vitamin c is unlikely to irritate your intestines unless you take a very high amount. It is safe to take 1000 mg at a time a few times a day. Some people sensitive to the Ascorbic Acid form will do better with buffered vit. C. The best-absorbed form of c is lypsospheric c- see http://www.Livonlabs.Com also consider supplemental zinc.
