What is Buffered Vitamin C?

Swanson Buffered Vitamin C combines ascorbic acid with calcium to form calcium ascorbate, a form of vitamin C that is especially gentle on the stomach. This presentation is designed for those who want the benefits of vitamin C without the typical acidity of other formulas. Each tablet provides 500 mg of buffered vitamin C.

Science-Backed Benefits

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helping to maintain the body's defenses. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, acting as an antioxidant. In addition, it promotes normal collagen formation, essential for the health of bones, cartilage, gums, and skin. These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Full Spectrum Formula

The Full Spectrum formula uses plant-based ingredients without unnecessary processing, maintaining the purity of the nutrient. This means that vitamin C is obtained in its most natural form, respecting its original structure.

Quality and Manufacturing

Swanson manufactures this product in facilities certified in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Each batch undergoes purity and potency testing by independent third-party laboratories, guaranteeing the quality and safety of the supplement. Swanson originated in 1969 in Fargo, ND, and since then has been dedicated to offering science-backed products.

Who is it suitable for?

Buffered vitamin C is ideal for people with sensitive stomachs or who prefer to take vitamin C on an empty stomach. Being bound to calcium, its pH is less acidic than that of pure ascorbic acid, which reduces the likelihood of gastric irritation. In addition, calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism and muscle function, offering an additional benefit.
