Is the rate of Vitamin C powder depletion dependent on the volume of water which passes through to the showerhead or on the level of chlorine?

In my opinion is dependent on the volume of water. I attached another in-line filter for everything else except chlorine which reduced the volume and the vitamin C powder last much longer now

I'm assuming that it is dependent on the volume of water that passes through the filter. I haven't actually tested it.

It depends on the size of the pool and what the chlorine measured when tested. I would not buy this chorine deapenser again. The only thing I still have is the cap that fit on my original dispenser after this one took on water and starting sinking. Cheap!

I don't really know, but it is quite strong powder. I mixed it with water and rubbed on my face after cleaning off my makeup at the end of the day. However, I found the same sort of Vit C powder at Trader Joe's for a much lower price and am using this instead.

To be honest, I know that vitamin c clears completion, but this didn't really do it. It did seem more even, but I chose a vitamin c line of skincare to remove them all.

Ascorbic acid is a form of vitamin c. It's toward the bottom of the ingredients list.

It says at the bottom of the Sprite HO2-WH High Output Shower Filter description - What Chlorgon Removes:Free Chlorine (CI-)Lead (trace amounts)Combined Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite)Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten egg smell!) - unfortunately nothing about iron.

I did as well. I bought a shower head that has another filter, vitamin c filter. It's the heaven fresh aroma luxury fixed shower head. The two together is like magic

I don't know the exact differences, but their customer service is top notch and can give you the technical details ... support@joyandkarma.comThis product is much thicker in consistency than the Vitamin C one, and I like that I don't have to worry about it dripping off my face so quickly. You can use both products together, but I think they probably work the same if you only want to buy one product.

Can Brian Lindsay or the company representatives verify the percentage of vitamin C please? I agree with K. Frenden that it is an important piece of information but no where on the bottles or the company website provide this information. Thank you.

Most manufacturers will NOT divulge that information. Please contact Bulk Supplements directly to see what they say. "Vitamin C" is manufactured almost solely in China via an industrial process that's purely synthetic or via microbial fermentation, so for the fermentation process there would definitely be GMO components, because the microbes (algae or bacteria) are genetically engineered.

Yes - It does not contain enough Vitamin C acid to damage hair - it just removes the bonded chloramines from skin and hair - use your regular shampoo after rinsing off with water and Swim Spray.

All excellent questions, Daniel. Unfortunately, I cannot properly answer them; however, I will tell you what I do know: the showerhead box says the following: Aroma; Chlorine free shower; Vitamin C; Negative ions, along with adds Vitamin C equivalent to 3,000 lemons. I ordered a refill for the Vitamin C, and the box says MADE IN KOREA. Additionally, there is a number to call with questions: 18006420367. I share your same concerns, but I made my purchase in a rush, but I do love the product. I think I will call and see if I can get some answers about the purity of the product.

This applies to vitamin C and retinols, but can also apply to other acids, since the ideal ph is different:""It has been reported in the Journal of Dermatological Surgery that vitamin C and its derivatives should be formulated at a pH under 3.5 in order to allow the vitamin C to enter the skin. Unfortunately, the pH optimal for retinol activity is between 5.5-6.0."

I have mixed it in water and my vitamin C serum and it pretty much disappears as long as you stir it up pretty good.

I am not sure Larry. I do not use it anymore. I was always under the impression that Vitamin C had to be taken orally or eat an orange for it to do any good. It did feel great on my skin however. Maybe go to the makers web site to see just how much vitamin c is actually in it.
