Start with a lower dose and increase gradually. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney issues, or take medication, consult a health care professional before uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I uses this vitamin C powder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix 1\/4 teaspoon (or your preferred amount) into a glass of water, juice, or smoothie.
