Just wondering if anyone has tried an antioxidant combo, such as C/E/NAC/CoQ10/polyphenols, for example.

thanks. i even have those products here.
thats interesting, i have a gallbladder polyp, not sure if it impairs it.@linusbert Fat malabsorption likely indicates liver/gallbladder stagnation.
You really shouldn't be using 40% Ellagic acid extracts TBH. There is a paper which warns against using them because they are less effective than the whole product. Large amounts of Ellagic acid is used to promote clotting where it is injected into the circulatory system. It's better to take Pomegranate juice which has lower and safer amounts of Ellagic acid plus Gallic acid which is another beneficial antioxidant.I"m taking some more plant-based antioxidants...like
Acai and astragalus and goji berry and something with 40% ellagic acid from Pomegranate extract has helped me alot recently.
Taken from paper:
Few natural products are as effective as intravenous Ellagic acid for inducing fatal arterial blood clots.

Biodegradation
Urolithins are gut flora human metabolites of dietary ellagic acid derivatives.[3][4] Ellagic acid has low bioavailability, with 90% remaining unabsorbed from the intestines until metabolized by microflora to the more bioavailable urolintins.[4]
Strange. Ascorbic acid powder works as any antihistamine available on prescription against hay fever for me. Without their bad side effects. I only use the cheapest kind, and of course with metallic spoons. No differnence for me. Sodium Ascorbate I would have to get double the amount, to get the same antihistamine effect.i am somewhat allergic or histamin reacting to the vitamin C powder
Ascorbic acid in watery solution has a half life of only a few hours. So don't keep it in water already for hours.i tried to shake it on my backside of my hand and lick it up. that works, but the shaking of the bottle seams to impair the C and it gets bad after a few weeks
it has nothing to do with the vitamin C, its the specific product containing contaminants from production. probably it has too much left overs from the source plant.Strange.

i am talking about powder, its out of the bottle for like 3 seconds before its in my mouth. the only liquid it gets in contact with is my own.Ascorbic acid in watery solution has a half life of only a few hours. So don't keep it in water already for hours.
sounds similiar like i do, just with back of the hand... after all hands are best spoons anyway, have been working for millenia, evolution proof!Therefore, I take a heap in the cup of my hand, empty it on my tongue, and gulp it down with one big sip of water.
As said, I always used cheapest Chinese Ascorbic acid powder from Supermarkets. Therefore, I once asked in a pharmacist, who basically sells the same for 3 times the price, if they would do any lab-testing of their product, to justify their higher price. The answer was: No testing for which impurities, only for purity at 99,95% of the ascorbic acid...probably switched from a europe pure grade 99,99% purity to chinese 99,95% which in reality is then something like 89,89%... (no proof for that, but kinda a feeling...)
thats creepy. so pharmacy grade is basically useless.The answer was: No testing for which impurities, only for purity at 99,95% of the ascorbic acid.
i am not the only one here, i read another post that someone is reacting to minor amounts of ascorbic acid too.However, that was years ago. And meanwhile there might have been changes. Your high intolerance to ascorbic acid is a mystery to me. Do you tolerate higher amounts of dietary ascorbic acid? For example, from Acerola cherry powder?
linus pauling did his high dose with sodiumascorbate as far as i know
if chinese vendors claim its pharmacy grade at 99,5% they probably do not even test that in local country again and just say, its 99,5% - basically what the vendor said.
