Where to get Ascoxal?

I've seen vitamin C mentioned several times as an effective treatment for HSV-1 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/016635429500010J
but I can't figure out where to get the Ascoxal that is this special form of vitamin C. Do you know if it is available in the U.S.?

you can get acyclovir in the US for $4 for episodic treatment or under $20 for daily suppressive therapy. Have you tried using that for your oral herpes?

ascoxal is a drug that is no longer marketed - it was a combination of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), copper sulfate, and sodium percarbonate. If you can find a compounding pharmacy, they might be able to make it for you.
