They started price-gouging... Surged the price 4 times in less than a month. pathetic. Opportunity pirates in the midst of a health crisis. Find another supplier.

We purchased this because the price/ ounce was very economical. When I opened the container everything looked good. I did notice a brown/black speck that looked like a piece of cardboard and thought that was poor quality control but ignored it and threw it in the trash. However, when transferring into a smaller container I found a HUGE piece of blue plastic in the container. I have major concerns about their quality control.<br /><br />On a second note, apart from the concerns about contaminants the ascorbic acid dissolves nicely and is a good looking white crystalin powder.

I have been taking this for a few months now with no problems or complaints. It is a large quantity and a good deal at the price offered. Today when I scooped out my dose, I saw something funny in it. I pulled it out and it was a hair and not even one from someones head. I am very disgusted by this and have a lot left still. Just thought that it would be right to share this.

[[VIDEOID:c0c43ec8cf739a624f553fd2c00d0ccd]] I was skeptical this would work, and paying $63 for a bucket of powder felt odd, however, Vitamin-C tablets worked so it was worth a shot. I was also afraid that this powder would instantly dissolve in the water and have no real effect, so I thought about putting the powder in nylons or socks. Not needed. I was wrong; the risk was worth it. I decided to try this between storms (thus all the leaves in the pool) when I had to shut off my pump to vacuum. I have a 30,000 gallon in-ground pool with a vinyl liner, on a well. Slowly, iron/rust was staining the liner. I used a clean laundry detergent cup and walked around the pool, sprinkling the powder against the pool wall, and then out into the middle. The powder dissipated (not dissolved) slowly, and instantly neutralized the iron stains. My liner was back to white. I posted a video that does not do justice to this science experiment. Unfortunately, I did not have enough powder to finish the pool (the bucket was smaller than I anticipated from the photo) but I can hit those areas with tablets again. I cannot comment on taste; I used this strictly for fixing my iron stains. The bucket was easy to open by ripping the pull strip around the lid. The lid then came easily off. The powder did not irritate my skin. Overall, I was very impressed with this product. I paid $62.99 on 20200629, which was the best price I could find for the quantity.

1st package I ordered it never came and was told it was broken? 2nd time it arrived half tampered and doesnt look legit. Contemplating sending back it was taped shut but open? Sticker on front doesn't look the same or legitimate either?

What a treat to find. Perfect in morning smoothies.
