    Default Vitamin C

    Where would I purchase a Vitamin C tablet to perform a stain test? Would I ask for Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid?

    Thanks!

    um, you can get vitamin C tablets at any pharmacy or grocery store that I could think of in the continental US I found powdered C or ascorbic acid at General Nutrition Center.

    Now for my question: they offer buffered or un-buffered.... just pick whichever is less expensive, would ya say?

    Thanks

    I would get the unbuffered. You want the pH to drop when doing a stain treatment.
