"Mighty expensive pee" he said...he feels that the vit. c is just as effective. Ester C goes into the gut, so doesn't get destroyed by stomach acid as quickly... |
Debbie, My mom was telling me this very thing today about the vitamin C. Her pcp had told her to take a vit c three times a day. She doesn't always get all three taken but always one in the morning with her other pills. I'll have to do some thinking. I do already have vit. c so can start taking it now. Then I guess if it works for me I will be good to go. I don't know how much the cranberry pills cost. As I was saying in an earlier post, I can't get to the drug store very often...so will have some time to decide I guess.
Thanks again for you help!
It's great, though, how so many other people get so much from all the input.
So I'm happy the issue was brought up, because it seems to be somewhat common. And I didn't really know that.
