Buffered Vitamin C Powder

Standard vitamin C formulations contain ascorbic acid, which can be harsh on the stomach at high doses.Vitamin C powder buffered by Allergy Research Group combines vitamin C with calcium, magnesium, and potassium carbonates. These minerals neutralize excess acidity before vitamin C reaches the stomach. 

The mineral buffering plays a major role in reducing the acid load, while maintaining vitamin C bioavailability. Research shows that buffering with calcium ascorbate may provide higher bioavailability and less gastric irritation compared to plain ascorbic acid.

Per ½ teaspoon of serving, Buffered Vitamin C Powder from Allergy Research Group provides 1000 mg of vitamin C buffered with magnesium and calcium. This gradual release formulation is gentle on the stomach, but is effective to support immunity, connective tissue health, and stress response. 

Vitamin C is studied to support innate and adaptive immunity. It helps white blood cell activity and acts as a water soluble anti-oxidant to protect against free radicals to support immunity. (Source: The Role of Vitamin C in Human Immunity). Further, it supports collagen and elastin synthesis, which contributes to healthy skin, joints, bones, and periodontal tissue integrity. 

Vitamin C is also important for norepinephrine and serotonin production, which makes it important for better alertness, mood, and stress resilience. 

Vitamin C buffered powder is suitable for sensitive individuals and it’s better to start slow and increase the dosage to a full serving.
