Buffered Ascorbic Acid capsules are a mineral ascorbate form of vitamin C made by Pure Encapsulations, combining calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, and potassium ascorbate to create a neutral pH vitamin C. The ascorbic acid in this formula is derived from corn dextrose fermentation. The minerals are naturally derived from limestone. Each capsule also contains ascorbyl palmitate, derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. The formula is made with high-quality vegan ingredients backed by verifiable science.
This buffered form of vitamin C is designed for adults ages 18 and up, and is particularly suitable for individuals with gastric sensitivity. The neutral pH of buffered ascorbic acid provides reduced gastric irritation for sensitive individuals.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger with a wide range of functions. It supports the body's defense system by promoting white blood cell function and activity, interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. It is also essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron, the formation of red blood cells, and conversion of folic acid to active folinic acid. It also maintains healthy mast cell function and supports lymphocyte formation. Vitamin C is also required for the synthesis of carnitine and steroids.
Pure Encapsulations products are formulated using high-quality, pure ingredients, free from unnecessary additives and many common allergens. This product is gluten-free, Non-GMO, and made with vegan ingredients. The capsule is a vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water).
