The unique cassava source makes Buffered C Cassava root source
well-tolerated by individuals unable to tolerate other sources
of vitamin C. The product has exactly the same formula as #50000
and contains ascorbic acid and carbonates of calcium, magnesium
and potassium, giving it an acid-alkaline buffering action (pH
7.0 in water) potentially improving bowel tolerance and
minimizing hyperacidity.
Cassava, or Manihot esculenta, is a
bushy herb or shrub from South America with long tuberous edible
roots very rich in starch. The roots are used as potatoes.
Starch obtained from cassava roots is a starting material for a
multiple-step chemical process of manufacturing of ascorbic
acid.
Allergy Research Group/NutriCology Inc. has pioneered
the development of buffered vitamin C products, and continues to
offer the purest and least allergenic vitamin C products
available anywhere. In addition to its hefty content of ascorbic
acid, our Buffered Vitamin C Cassava root source also supplies
potassium and the macrominerals calcium and magnesium at
approximately one half of the RDI per level teaspoon. Due to its
generous complement of calcium (350 mg per teaspoon),
supplementation with our buffered vitamin C may be desirable for
individuals who do not regularly consume dairy products.
Each
2 capsules contain:
Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid)
1000 mg
Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate)
190 mg
Magnesium (as
Magnesium Carbonate)
104 mg
Potassium (as Potassium
Carbonate) 16 mg
Other ingredients:
Cellulose, stearic
acid.
Suggested Use:
As a dietary supplement, 1 or 2
capsules, two to three times daily, between meals, or as
directed by a health practitioner.
As with all Vitamin C
formulations, as one begins to achieve body saturation "bowel
tolerance" may be temporarily exceeded and diarrhea or loose
stools may occur. As the high levels of vitamin C in the tissues
become used up, the bowel symptoms should ease.*
