Best Way to Take Vitamin C?

Last week, Dr. Ronald Hoffman read a study that determined you can only absorb 500 milligrams of vitamin C at a time. This week Gary Null told about a study that determined when you take vitamin C your body uses it in 3 hours. I'm assuming, that if you take 500 milligrams every 3 hours, it would be the best way to take vitamin C. Both Dr. Stephen Bittiker & Gary Null have said that mineral ascorbates are the best form to take. They say you're body has to convert vitamin C to mineral ascorbates. If you take mineral ascorbates, you save your body the conversion step.
