KAL Vitamina C Cristales Sin Sabor, 1250 mg, 227 g

What makes this vitamin C in crystals special?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. KAL crystals offer a pure and versatile way to incorporate this nutrient into your daily routine. Each 1250 mg dose provides a significant amount to help meet your needs. Being unflavored crystals, you can easily mix them with water, juice, or your favorite beverage without altering its taste.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. In addition, it helps maintain normal collagen production, essential for healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels.*

Benefits of Vitamin C

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.
• Normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, and teeth.
• Normal energy metabolism.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Iron absorption.

These benefits are backed by science and recognized by European health authorities.

Recommended dose

The recommended daily dose of this supplement is 1/4 teaspoon (approximately 1250 mg) per day. You can mix it with water, juice, or any other beverage. It is important not to exceed the indicated dose. Remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

For optimal absorption, you can take it with food. If you have a sensitive stomach, you can start with a smaller dose and gradually increase it.

Types of vitamin C: why choose crystals?

Vitamin C comes in several forms: pure ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (less acidic), calcium ascorbate, liposomal, and crystals. KAL crystals are pure ascorbic acid in its simplest form and without additives. They are ideal for those who prefer to avoid excipients and additives.

Advantages of crystals over other presentations:

• No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or colorings.
• Easy to dose with the included spoon (1/4 teaspoon = 1250 mg).
• Dissolves quickly in cold or hot liquids.
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

If you prefer a buffered option to protect your stomach, you can opt for sodium or calcium ascorbate. But if you're looking for purity and simplicity, ascorbic acid crystals are an excellent choice.

How to choose the best vitamin C

When choosing a vitamin C supplement, consider the following aspects:

• Form: Pure ascorbic acid is the most common and economical form. If you have gastric sensitivity, look for buffered forms (sodium, calcium, or magnesium ascorbate) or liposomal.
• Dosage: The amount per serving should be adapted to your needs. 1250 mg is a high dose, ideal for those seeking an extra boost.
• Purity: Unflavored crystals contain only vitamin C, without additives. Check that the product does not contain sugars, gluten, or other allergens.
• Origin: KAL is a recognized brand in the supplement world, with decades of experience.

Remember that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables also provides natural vitamin C. Supplements are a complement, not a substitute.
