Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important vitamin for general health. Because it is water-soluble, the body cannot store the vitamin so you must be certain to get enough daily, either through your diet or supplements like Buffered Vitamin C Crystals. Vitamin C is a critical component of both basic body building functions and disease prevention. It is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body.
Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds and the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones and teeth. During any kind of healing process, whether it is from infection, injury, disease or surgery, the body uses large amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an
antioxidant that can help block damage from free radicals.
Research is ongoing into the therapeutic uses of vitamin C. Studies show promise for the use of vitamin C in protecting against a number of conditions. These conditions include heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, common cold, osteoarthritis,
obesity and weight loss, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.
Evidence from human studies indicates vitamin C will not cure these conditions but may help prevent their initial onset or slow progression. Vitamin C is critical to collagen production, a protein that binds cells together and is the building block of connective tissues throughout the body. It is also an
immune system booster, increasing white blood cell production.
Our Buffered Vitamin C Crystals are our most concentrated form of vitamin C. Our vitamin C comes from calcium ascorbate, which is a non-acidic form of powdered vitamin C. It is much gentler on the stomach and teeth than non-buffered vitamin C. Each 1/4 teaspoon of our Vitamin C Crystals provides the body with over 1000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of calcium as well.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take 1/4 teaspoon in eight (8) ounces of water or juice daily, or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.
