I'm really sensitive of how foods are affecting me, and I was OK taking 3-4g ascorbic acid "every other preparation" – maybe every 3hrs. It's usually 3-4g x 4. .. A 6g seemed about getting too much, but also reliant on how much magnesium was had – which is usually .5g elemental per 4g, sometimes 1g if behind.

A huge biological mystery is that vitamin C is suggested being required in amounts near 15 g/day. Even small animals are making 10; and though an article checking genetically-engineered mice only had the second largest dosage as .01% (about 300 mg/day for a gallon) of water, only the first (.4%, about 15 g/day) was having the blood metrics and QOL of the natural …

" … Something of awareness is that astaxanthin (and similar products such as spirulina) are plausible for BMAA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Methylamino-L-alanine/)), which is a toxin, 'possibly misincorporated into nascent proteins in place of L-serine … causing protein misfolding and aggregation … '.

A). This is telling for a potential huge causation of locomotor and behavioral mysteries. (Correlatively, another is simply nutriment deficiency.)
B). 'Co-administered BMAA with serine was found to have 70% less beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles than those administered BMAA alone, suggesting that serine may be protective against the neurotoxic effects of BMAA.'"

So …
A). These things are caused by similar situations, e.g., non-availability of substrates for cells.
B). Obviously, cells are very great at sperm+egg to adult-human. Logically, it's produced by simple algorithms (e.g., phi … the golden ratio), and is propagated best amongst full nutrition (though, how rare that is further evidences the efficiency), so with all of the dietary problems and public mysteries – and humans still often being very apt creatures – actually getting nutrients for building blocks has huge potential.
