This gently buffered formula is a great alternative for persons that may experience stomach irritation with ascorbic acid. Calcium Ascorbate is a non-acidic source of Vitamin C. Many physicians recommend taking a buffered form of Vitamin C if you are taking it in higher doses. Vitamin C has many health benefits, but its probably best known as a cell protector, immunity booster, and powerful antioxidant.

Bioflavonoids
In 1936, Albert Szent-Gyorgi found evidence to support the fact that Vitamin C should be considered a complex rather than a single nutrient, much like the B complex. Vitamin C works better in combination with other nutrients, such as bioflavonoids which are essential for total Vitamin C effectiveness. This formula contains lemon bioflavonoids, rutin and hesperidin; these bioflavonoids assist Vitamin C in keeping collagen healthy, are essential for proper absorption of Vitamin C, and prevent Vitamin C from being destroyed in the body by oxidation. Therefore, bioflavonoids improve and prolong the function of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids also perform a wide range of functions. For example, they protect capillaries, prevent bruising, and provide support for a number of other biological functions.
