The benefits of calcium ascorbate C, Improved Overall Health

Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system. Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can help maintain healthy tissues by neutralizing free radicals generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors. Now calcium ascorbate C, is a buffered form of vitamin C that is bioavailable and non-acidic.

What are the benefits of calcium ascorbate C?

Buffered forms of vitamin C (like calcium ascorbate) are less likely to cause gastric upset than other forms of vitamin C (like ascorbic acid).* Calcium ascorbate may also have additional benefits beyond those seen with other forms of vitamin C.* For example, calcium ascorbate has been shown to improve iron absorption more effectively than other forms of vitamin C.* Supplementing with calcium ascorbate may also help to reduce symptoms associated with exercise-induced stress and physical fatigue.*When it comes to immunity, one study showed that people who supplemented with 1,000 mg of calcium ascorbate daily for 60 days had significantly higher levels of antibodies than those who supplemented with a placebo.* And in another study, people who supplemented with 1,000 mg of calcium ascorbate per day for four weeks had significantly lower levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammation than those who supplemented with a placebo.* Overall, these studies suggest that supplementation with calcium ascorbate may help to improve immunity and reduce exercise-induced stress and fatigue.

In Summary:

If you're looking for a bioavailable and non-acidic form of vitamin C, look no further than calcium ascorbate. This buffered form of vitamin C has numerous benefits, including improved iron absorption, reduced symptoms associated with exercise-induced stress and physical fatigue, and enhanced immunity. So if you're looking to up your vitamin C game, consider supplementing with calcium ascorbate.
