Before I started using Tower Labs heart tech I used pure l ascorbate acids and Lysine tablets and that worked in about 4 days with feeling better and doing more gradually, it worked so good that I went with heart tech from tower labs because it has all the ingredients that I needed .
Vit C 5000
Lysine 3000
Vit E
Vit B2 and b6
Folic acid 400
L proline 400
L arginine 200
I double the dose for now anyway.
So where are you that you can't order this on line..or other Vitamin C
You would know it was working because you would be symptom free.

Personally I would not go near to that supplement! If it contains synthetic folic acid rather than natural folates then it can be toxic to people with folate metabolism issues ie MTHFR polymorphisms. This can make heart disease and stroke far more likely and taking folic acid can cause a block to normal folate metabolism in some people. My family is at high risk of this and although I have never had a genetic test for this gene, I strongly suspect that I have a more severe form of it seeing as both my father and grandfather died of circulatory disease before they reached 60. I am also type 1 diabetic so my risk is significantly higher than theirs even though they both smoked and I do not. I take 2000mcg to 30000mcg of methyltetrahydrofolate /day Life Extension brand which is 2 or 3x1000mcg tablets.
I take everything in that formula but use natural folates in place of folic acid and pyridoxal-5-phosphate in place of the B6 with a mixture of Riboflavin and Riboflavin-5-phosphate in place of B2. I also use Arginine Alpha Keta Gluturate in place of Arginine and 800iu mixed Tocopherols and separate 2x50m(c)g not sure of the weight but it is 50 something,Tocotrienols.
Therefore be aware of this in case it affects you.
