Madre Labs, Madre-C, Vitamin C Review & Coupon

I am a big fan of iherb.com, and for the longest time they've been sending me free samples of Madre Labs Madre-C.  However, only recently have I come to love it.

See, I first tried mixing it into juice, but it didn't all dissolve. So then I tried mixing it into hot tea. Same result. I don't like clumps of stuff in my tea.  It says right on the package that it isn't 100% water soluable, and that for best results to use a shaker bottle.

Well... I figured out what to do with it, and now I love it. I mix it into yogurt smoothies!  It blends very well into smoothies, tastes great, and seems to give me a little extra energy, and hopefully it's boosting my immune system.

Madre-C doesn't taste like much. One reviewer says it tastes like hibiscus, and I might tend to agree. It has a slight earthy flavor, but it doesn't taste bad at all. When I add it to my yogurt smoothies, I really don't taste it. (Here's more on how I make real fruit yogurt smoothies.)

So what's special about Madre-C?  What makes it different from other Vitamin C powder?  Well it's Whole Food Vitamin C from Camu Camu, Chilean Rose Hips, Acerola plus Amla.  Most other Vitamin C comes from ascorbic acid. It's designed to be gentle on your stomach and to have high bioavailability.

I think it would work well mixed into anything else that's the same consistency of yogurt - like applesauce, pudding, etc.
