KAL Vitamina C Sin Ácido 4200 mg - 227 g (8 oz)

Benefits of Acid-Free Vitamin C

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 and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. In addition, it helps maintain the normal function of the skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. This acid-free powder tablet presentation offers a concentrated and easy-to-digest form, ideal for those seeking a high dose without stomach discomfort.

Why Choose KAL's Acid-Free Vitamin C?

KAL has formulated this vitamin C as buffered ascorbic acid (sodium ascorbate), which reduces the typical acidity of pure ascorbic acid. This makes it especially suitable for people with sensitive stomachs who wish to benefit from high doses without irritation. Each tablet provides 4200 mg of vitamin C, a significant amount that can help cover increased daily needs in situations of stress or intense physical activity. The formula is unflavored and dissolves quickly in the mouth or in liquids, making it easy to consume. In addition, it is suitable for vegetarians, as it contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Recommended Vitamin C Dosage

The recommended daily dose for adults in the European Union is 80 mg, but many people opt for higher doses for additional immune support. With KAL tablets, a single tablet provides 4200 mg, well above basic needs. It is important not to exceed the dose indicated on the packaging (one tablet a day) and to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. If high doses are taken for a prolonged period, digestive discomfort may appear, so it is recommended to divide the dose or take it with food.

Types of Vitamin C: Which is Best?

Vitamin C comes in several forms: ascorbic acid (the most common, but acidic), sodium ascorbate (buffered, less acidic), calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, and liposomal vitamin C. The form chosen by KAL, sodium ascorbate, offers high bioavailability and is gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid. Other forms like calcium ascorbate provide additional calcium, while liposomal seeks improved absorption, although studies do not always support significant differences. For most people, sodium ascorbate is an excellent choice for its balance between efficacy and digestive tolerance.
