Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while inhibiting its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones and teeth.1

Vitamin C needed when stress hits

More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress.2 Physical stresses may also increase the need for vitamin C.3,4

Life Extension's Buffered Vitamin C Powder contains fLife Extension's buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, it produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it’s mixed with water.

Suggested Usage

Mix one (1) teaspoon of Buffered Vitamin C Powder into a glass of water. Wait for the fizz to stop before consuming. The minerals buffer out the normally acidic vitamin C to make a pleasant tasting drink. To ensure product consistency store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Great for constipation

by Fadiese

My husband has a neurological health problem, and one of the issue is constipation. For years, his doctors and homeopaths have been unable to help with this severe condition. Several months ago, I read an article about the benefit of buffered vitamin C and it has been a godsend on his physical and mental, as stress has diminished. Since this brand has little flavor, I combine it with two other brand. He uses two daily doses of a teaspoon each time. He could not be more happy. Wish they would add some flavor to their powder to make it easier to take.

Good but not great

This Vitamin C product is helpful for issues with constipation. However, texture is somewhat gritty and taste is not great
