Owen, I was wondering if it was a good idea to put 4 scoops of heart tech in a 24oz water bottle and drink it through out the day without loosing its V-C quality. Thanks, Pat
From what we know - vitamin C can degrade by 50% (but only 50%) in four hours in H2O. Pure sterile water causes less degradation. (Copper ions are a primary cause of the breakdown). Concentration matters, so the higher concentration, less water, slower the break down.
Based on this knowledge, lets say you wanted 6 grams - 2 scoops - why not add another 6 grams of vitamin C powder or sodium ascorbate to the water? Then you are guaranteed at least six grams into your system and can sip throughout the day?
