Maybe you could try the Vitamin C prevention plan. It’s incredibly cheap, you can buy it over the counter in any drugstore or supermarket or even in the Dollar Store. I get 1000 mg tablets at RiteAid drugstore. Take three a day, It is water soluble and you eliminate what you don’t use, so no risk of overdose. .
Stay healthy, FRiend.
Something I ran into with high dosing of vitamin C some years ago is that it improves your absorption of iron and you can end up with iron levels that are higher than they should be in a man. In my case the doctor said go give some blood and that’ll help lower the iron count.
