@anne: We give our toddler liquid Vitamin C purchased from Whole Foods. Give her hundreds of milligrams at a time. Seems to work well enough. She definitely wouldn't take the ascorbic acid with water.
to drLove: Sounds reasonable drLove. But what if you end up taking 50g on a really sick day. If you're taking it in a buffered form, might not that end up putting too much of the buffering substances in you?
4 -5 G of vitamin C in my opinion is too high to take in a non-buffered form. It's hard on the digestive tract, mucous membranes, teeth enamel and can cause canker sores. I would recommend to add baking soda to it or bite the bullet and spend some money on a good quality buffered form with many different kinds of minerals.

Any suggestions on how you could modify this for children? Their throats are tickling but I don't want to over-dose them!
