The doc ran a organic acid urine test. That's how we know about the Vitamin C. And also possible glutithione def. We struggled with the iron and vit C. It's a bit controversial regarding high uses of Vit C when chelating iron. Vit C mobilized the iron which can be a problem for the heart for some. It also increase dietary absorption if taken with food. So I think an ester C brand between meals will help. Most who are iron overloaded are def in Vit C. I think it will be wise to really step up the antioxidants.

I will have to look at the V8 juices. I do have a juicer but can't seem to use it faithfully. Some of my juice blends did not taste the greatest. Trying to blend the right vegetables in the right amounts is an art. And we find that they are best comsumed with a meal.

Thanks everyone....M
