Calcium Ascorbate Powder - Vitamin C, 227 g (8 oz) - Non-GMO, Food Grade

Benefits of Vitamin C

Discover Calcium Ascorbate Powder — Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative damage, and the normal formation of collagen for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. Additionally, it helps increase iron absorption and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

This powdered supplement offers you a concentrated and versatile form of vitamin C, ideal for those looking for an additive-free option that is easy to combine with their favorite drinks or foods.

What is Calcium Ascorbate?

Calcium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, meaning it is combined with calcium to reduce its natural acidity. This makes it a gentler option for the stomach compared to pure ascorbic acid, especially useful for people with digestive sensitivity.

This bioactive compound is highly bioavailable and provides both vitamin C and calcium, an important mineral for bone and muscle health. Being a non-acidic form, it can be better tolerated in higher doses.

Why Choose this Vitamin C Supplement?

This product stands out for its purity and quality. It is a crystalline white powder with over 98% purity, manufactured under strict quality standards (FCC/USP) and certified as Non-GMO. It comes in an 8 oz (227 grams) resealable bag that protects the contents from light and moisture, maintaining its freshness.

As a fine powder, you can adjust the dose according to your needs, mixing it with water, juice, smoothies, or even sprinkling it on food. It is a versatile and economical option for those who want a high-quality vitamin C supplement without unnecessary excipients.

How to Use Calcium Ascorbate Powder

The recommended dose may vary according to individual needs. For reference, a level teaspoon (approximately 4 grams) provides about 1000 mg of vitamin C and 200 mg of calcium. However, it is always advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate dose for you.

To consume it, simply mix the desired amount with water, juice, or any beverage of your choice. It dissolves easily, although it may leave a slight sediment. You can take it at any time of the day, preferably with meals to improve absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it the same as ascorbic acid?

Not exactly. While ascorbic acid is the pure form of vitamin C, calcium ascorbate is a salt of ascorbic acid and calcium. This makes it less acidic and may be better tolerated by people with sensitive stomachs.

Can it be mixed with hot drinks?

Vitamin C is sensitive to heat, so it is recommended to mix it with cold or room temperature beverages to preserve its potency.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, calcium ascorbate is of synthetic (non-animal) origin and is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Does it have any flavor?

Calcium ascorbate has a slightly acidic taste but milder than pure ascorbic acid. You can easily mask it by mixing it with fruit juices or smoothies.
