Vegan bulk pack stomach-friendly vitamin C

Vitamin C is a naturally occurring, water-soluble vitamin found in many different fruits and vegetables. Because of its potential health benefits, such as its antioxidant properties, it is often consumed as a dietary supplement. Unlike most animals, humans cannot synthesise vitamin C themselves. Therefore, it is an essential part of the nutrition.

Important functions of vitamin C in the body

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to regenerate other antioxidants in the body. It improves the absorption of iron and delays the harmful effects of free radicals on the skin and body. It also contributes to normal collagen formation, which is essential for wound healing and connective tissue building.

Stomach-friendly vitamin C in form of calcium ascorbate

Common vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid is often too acidic for people with sensitive stomachs. In Fairvital’s buffered vitamin C, vitamin C is bound to calcium. This form of vitamin C is a neutral salt and not an acid. When calcium ascorbate is digested in the stomach, calcium and ascorbate ions are released. The gastric acid converts the ascorbate ions into ascorbic acid, which does not increase the acid concentration in the stomach.
