Key Benefits of Buffered Vitamin C
When it comes to supporting your body's natural defenses, buffered vitamin C really stands out. Unlike standard ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate is gentle on the stomach while still delivering powerful antioxidant protection. Here are some of the scientifically supported benefits you can expect:
-
Immune Function: Vitamin C helps maintain the normal function of the immune system.*
-
Antioxidant Defence: It helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress.*
-
Collagen Formation: Essential for the synthesis of collagen, which supports healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.*
-
Gentle on Digestion: Because it's buffered, this form is well-tolerated even by those with sensitive stomachs.*
Many Canadians find that they can take this supplement daily without the discomfort often associated with acidic vitamin C.*
Why Choose Calcium Ascorbate over Other Forms of Vitamin C?
Not all vitamin C supplements are created equal. The most common form, ascorbic acid, is acidic and can cause gastrointestinal upset in some people. Sodium ascorbate is buffered but adds sodium, which may be a concern for those watching their intake. Liposomal vitamin C offers improved absorption but tends to be pricier. Calcium ascorbate, on the other hand, provides a perfect balance: it's non-acidic, gentle, and also supplies a dose of calcium. Each two-capsule serving of our formula delivers 1500 mg of vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate), giving you effective support without digestive distress.
How to Select the Best Buffered Vitamin C Supplement
When shopping for a buffered vitamin C, keep these factors in mind:
-
Potency: A dosage of 1500 mg per serving offers substantial support for your immune system and antioxidant needs.
-
Form: Look for calcium ascorbate – it's the gentlest option. Always check the label to confirm the source.
-
Purity: Choose a product that's non-GMO, vegan, and free from artificial additives. Our capsules contain no artificial colours or preservatives.
-
Quality Standards: Supplements made in GMP-certified facilities ensure consistent quality and safety.
Our buffered vitamin C checks all these boxes, giving you a reliable, high-purity supplement you can trust.
What Is Buffered Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant protection. However, many people experience stomach discomfort when taking standard ascorbic acid. That's where buffered vitamin C comes in. Our formula uses calcium ascorbate – a non-acidic, gentle form of vitamin C that is easy on the digestive system while still delivering a potent 1500 mg per serving. This makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitive stomachs or anyone looking for a comfortable, effective way to support their daily wellness.
Dosage and Safety Information
The recommended dosage is two capsules daily, taken with food and a full glass of water. Each bottle provides 75 servings (150 capsules). Since vitamin C is water-soluble, excess is usually excreted, but high doses may cause digestive upset in some individuals. Because this formula is buffered and non-acidic, it is generally well-tolerated even at higher intakes. Always consult with a healthcare practitioner before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
