Calcium Ascorbate (Buffered C)

Nationalnutrition114 May, 2023Health

WHAT IS CALCIUM ASCORBATE? CALCIUM ascorbate is the calcium salt of ascorbic acid, one of the mineral ascorbates. It is made up of approximately 9 parts of ascorbic acid to 1 part of calcium, which makes it a pH-neutral form of vitamin C because its natural acidity has been buffered and is thus much milder on the GI system (does not cause gastrointestinal irritation). Calcium ascorbate is thus considered "stomach-friendly" and is the preferred form of vitamin C for those who have a hard time with highly acidic foods, as well as those with a sensitive stomach.
