NOW Foods Vitamina C-500 Ascorbato de Calcio, 250 Cápsulas Vegetales

Vitamin C Benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with 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 function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. In addition, it helps increase iron absorption and contributes to normal energy metabolism.

What Makes Calcium Ascorbate Special?

Calcium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, meaning it is less acidic than pure ascorbic acid. This makes it ideal for people with sensitive stomachs or who experience gastrointestinal discomfort with other forms of vitamin C. Furthermore, by combining with calcium, it offers an additional benefit for bone health. This formula includes citrus bioflavonoids, compounds that work synergistically with vitamin C to improve its absorption and effectiveness.

Recommended Dose

The suggested dose is 1 vegetable capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each capsule provides 500 mg of vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate, along with 50 mg of citrus bioflavonoids. With 250 capsules per container, you have more than an 8-month supply. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
