Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is well known for its role in supporting the immune system and acting as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress. It also contributes to collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin, joints, and blood vessels. Additionally, it helps keep bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums in good shape. While these benefits are recognized, it's important to note that vitamin C is not a treatment for any disease but rather a nutritional aid for overall health.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own. It must come from your diet or supplements. Buffered vitamin C, like the calcium ascorbate used here, is less acidic than regular ascorbic acid, reducing the risk of stomach upset. Combined with citrus bioflavonoids and rutin, this formula enhances vitamin C's natural functions in the body, including immune support and antioxidant defences.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

There are several forms of vitamin C on the market. Ascorbic acid is the most common but can be harsh on the stomach. Buffered vitamin C, such as calcium ascorbate (used in this product) or sodium ascorbate, has a neutral pH and is gentler. Liposomal vitamin C offers enhanced absorption, while food-based options like acerola provide natural cofactors. BlueBonnet uses identity-preserved calcium ascorbate to ensure purity and potency.
