Hi Tina!
I couldn't answer your question because I'm not C, but I'd be very curious to know where YOU are (which continent or country, I mean!) Because, for ages now I've been talking about Psyllium seeds (called 'flea seeds' here in Germany) and everybody seems to know the Psyllium husks, and nobody the seeds!!
As to their efficiency for C, I would just simply try out both if you've got the chance. Neither will do you any harm as long as you drink enough water with them!!! I think that's terribly important with C. I think both are quite distinct, so it's worth testing them both.
Good luck Susaloh

I come from southern Ireland and i was very surprised to find that i could get Psyllium seeds here where i live in a town called Wexford.I actually didn't know that my health shop had them until i enquired,they have the husks and capsules also.I started to take them yesterday,2tsb in 8oz of warm water and i took them again this morning but i am a little bloated i hope they will agree with me as i have found them to be better for my (c) than lindseeds,well so far anyway,thank you for your reply i appreciate it. Tina.
