Buffered Vitamin C Crystals

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a crucial part of good health. Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored by your body, so it must be supplied daily through either diet or supplements. Vitamin C is a vital part of both disease prevention and basic body building functions, and is necessary for growing and repairing body tissues. It is an antioxidant that can help block damage from free radicals. Vitamin C is needed for collagen production, a protein that binds cells together and is the building block of connective tissues throughout the body. It is an immune system booster, rocketing production of white blood cells that fight infection. Vitamin C is also needed to heal wounds and ensure health and strength of cartilage, bones and teeth. While the body is recovering, whether from infection, injury, illness or surgery, your body requires large amounts of vitamin C.

Research continues to explore the restorative uses for Vitamin C. Studies show that the vitamin may be used for a number of illnesses and conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, obesity and weight loss, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. While Vitamin C will not prove these conditions, evidence suggests that it may help prevent them, or slow the conditions' progression in the body.

Our Buffered Vitamin C Crystals provide Vitamin C's powerful restorative properties in their most concentrated form. Our vitamin C is derived from calcium ascorbate, a non-acidic form of powdered vitamin C that is much gentler on the stomach and teeth than non-buffered vitamin C. Each 1/4 teaspoon of our Vitamin C Crystals provides 1000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of calcium.
