Gentle on the stomach and ideal for those who experience digestive sensitivity with regular ascorbic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is buffered vitamin C and why is it preferred?

Buffered vitamin C uses calcium ascorbate — vitamin C combined with calcium — which reduces acidity and makes it significantly gentler on the stomach than straight ascorbic acid. This allows higher doses to be taken without digestive discomfort.

What are bioflavonoids and why are they added?

Bioflavonoids are plant compounds found alongside vitamin C in nature that enhance its antioxidant effects, support vascular integrity and capillary strength, and may improve vitamin C bioavailability.

What dose of vitamin C should I take?

Healthy adults typically need 1-3g daily. During illness or high stress, bowel tolerance dosing (gradually increasing until loose stools, then reducing slightly) is a common approach used by integrative practitioners.

Who particularly benefits from vitamin C supplementation?

Smokers, those under chronic stress, those with frequent infections, poor dietary intake, high toxic burden, or anyone wanting to support collagen synthesis for skin, joint and connective tissue health.
