Vitamin C, as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. It is an important antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals and fights oxidative stress,38-41 both of which threaten the immune system. In fact, a major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes,42 cells that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood. Scientists have determined that the body needs high levels of vitamin C during periods of stress.43,44
Buffered Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

I use this product daily and find it has a mild taste and pleasant and refreshing to drink first thing in the morning. It keeps me regular and I find it energizing. I supplement with ascorbyl palmitate.

Easy-to-take Vitamin C
By Sara
from Atlanta, GA
I dissolve a teaspoonful of buffered Vitamin C in a sports drink; the directions are to dissolve it in water. It fizzes and dissolves easily and completely. There is no bitterness or acidity. It is an easy way to take 4 grams of Vitamin C at one time.

My ND physician recommended this to me over 5 years ago and my husband and I take it every day. Rarely gets colds or get ill. Like the powdered Vitamin C as it delivers it so much more quickly. Mix it in my smoothie in the AM.
