I heard that powder usage of vitamin C is much better than pill intake.
I also heard that certain manufactured powder are better than others.
Could you tell me if it is true and where I could find articles about
this topic? Thanks

I can't, but I can tell you this: Eat a green pepper if you're looking
for C.  They're a 1,000 times better than any pill or powder.

It depends on how much vitamin C you are trying to take.  For a dose of
1,000 or 2,000 mg. pills seem just fine.  Some people need to take much
higher doses when fighting a particular illness.  I take 10,000 mg per
day.  That amount works well for me.  When I tied to take so many
pills, my stomache felt queasy.  There are binders in the pills which
probably caused that reaction.  I have bought the powder which I mix
with juice.  I am very happy with it.  It is pure Vitamin C.

10,000 mg?!  Holy sh*t!  Did you know that's enough for more than 100
people?

I'll bet.

A serving (8 oz) of most commercial juice contains 120% of DV.  Then if
you eat a baked potato, serving of brocolli, a green pepper, or a
citrus fruit during the rest of the day you're more than way over the
amount you need.  So why waste your money popping C-pills?  You're only
peeing it into the toilet.
