The Ester C seems very mild compared to the old regular one.

Vit C is helpful for people with arthritis.
Yes, Vitamin C is good for people for a lot of reasons. But for CMTers, not in big doses. A person with CMT should check with their doctor and go from there. Thus the Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) trials that they are doing for CMT1A. It would be great if there was a breakthrough and it helped our problem.

I am only addressing a person with CMT.
