Hello Dr. Hyman,

I have a question about the ascorbic acid supplement. I prefere to use whole food supplements with my clients and telling them to buy pure ascorbic acid is hard for me. I am wondering if using a food based vitamin C or at least something that's a happy mix would be alright on the program? Why do you specifically recomend ascorbic acid?
