What would be a safe megadose to be taken every day, 2-3 times a day?

They are both vitamin C what makes it different is that EsterC is in and the non acidic form you can take this even with an empty stomach, and also if you are an acidic person. It is safe to take megadose of Vitamin C, because Vitamin B and C are water soluble vitamins; which means in excess of this it just goes out of our body. If you're into body building you may need 2000mg a day for muscle recovery.
Also EsterC is not an Ascorbic Acid. It's in the form of calcium ascorbate.

All Ester-C is, is Ascorbic Acid with Baking Soda in it to stop the stomach upset.
I buy pure Ascorbic Acid in
powder form and put it in every glass of water I drink. 1/4 tsp=500 mg. of Vitamin C.
I get mine from:

I also sprinkle it on juices/
foods/salads, etc. It has a
lemon taste.

Vitamin C is Vitamin C, your body can't tell the difference.
Megadoses are a waste of money, excess Vitamin C is excreted in urine. Best to get it from food --- red, orange, yellow and dark green fruits and veggies contain lots.
