Natural Factors Vitamin C Calcium Ascorbate in the 180-capsule bottle is the larger size of a buffered vitamin C made for people who find plain ascorbic acid hard on the stomach.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health. It helps the body form collagen and helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. The capsule is gelatin with a vegetable lubricant and nothing else. At one a day, this bottle lasts six months.

• 180 capsules
• 820 mg vitamin C and 94 mg calcium from 1000 mg calcium ascorbate
• Buffered, pH-neutral and gentle on the stomach

Vitamin C is a powerful vitamin with infection-fighting properties, playing a large role in immune system function. Vitamin C is crucial for the formation of collagen, making this vitamin very important for wound repair, healthy gums, strong bones and teeth, and in the prevention of bruising.

As a powerful antioxidant, it protects the aqueous areas of the body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free radicals. Because it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body cannot store vitamin C, making regular supplementation vital.

This vitamin C formula is buffered with calcium and recommended for individuals who experience gastrointestinal discomfort with supplementation of vitamin C. It can be taken therapeutically at higher daily doses without gastrointestinal side effects.

Equally important, calcium ascorbate also replenishes the calcium that is excreted in the urine due to the chelating properties of vitamin C. Calcium also allows vitamin C to remain in the cells for a longer period.

• pH neutral
