2lbs of vitamin C is less than $40 and will last you a couple of years. Fuck the stupid rosebud shit and all the other hype. Pure ascorbic acid crystals are just as effective as anyother vitamin C. Probably better because it's pure crystals that are almost instantly absorbed by the body. Anyone talking "bioavailable" is fucking retarded and do not know what they are talking about. These are chemicals that react in a certain way as certain as the sun comes up. So theres no he said she said. It's acheive blood concentration "X amount of vitamin c" per ml of blood will react with Y. You can literally turn your sickness on and off by your intake of vitamin C.
