Product Information

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: painful urination, pink/bloody urine. Mineral ascorbates such as calcium and magnesium ascorbate are often called ‘buffered’ vitamin C. Many people find these to be gentler forms of vitamin C that are better tolerated by the gut. It is important however to consider the accompanying dose of mineral (calcium, magnesium etc.) when taking higher levels.

A small, three-arm pilot study compared two regimens of IV vitamin C to placebo in 24 critically ill patients with sepsis. Over the 4-day study period, patients who received vitamin C 200 mg/kg per day and those who received vitamin C 50 mg/kg per day had lower SOFA scores and lower levels of proinflammatory markers than patients who received placebo.5 Most people can get adequate vitamin C in their diet by eating fruits and vegetables. However, some people take a vitamin C supplement due to dietary restrictions or a medical condition.People who do not like swallowing tablets may prefer a chewable vitamin. This product delivers 500 mg of vitamin C per chewable tablet. Vitamin C is water-soluble, and supplements can come in a wide variety of forms – from powder and pills to lozenges and wafers – which are usually designed to be taken orally. To put it simply, using buffered vitamin C supplements is as simple as taking a tablet by mouth – with or without food – one or two times daily for the best results. Magnesium ascorbate: The recommended dietary allowance ( RDA) for magnesium is 400-420 mg/day for adult men and 310-320 mg/day for adult women. The upper level ( UL) of intake for magnesium from supplements should not exceed 350 mg/day (see Magnesium).

Aside from the possible benefits of increasing bioavailability of vitamin C however, flavonoids have demonstrated significant health benefits in their own right. In plants, flavonoids help to reduce harmful oxidative stress and regulate growth. And when flavonoids are consumed in the diet they have been shown to have significant antioxidant and free radical scavenging abilities. In addition, they have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity and offer cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroprotective, anti-cancer, hepato-protective, potential anti-viral benefits and more. 20,21 Mineral ascorbates The buffered form of this vitamin is often sold as a powder that has to be mixed with water. So, if you have a hard time swallowing capsules or tablets, buffered vitamin C powder may be a better choice. Guarnieri S., Riso P., Porrini M. Orange juice vs vitamin C: Effect on hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage in mononuclear blood cells. Br. J. Nutr. 2007; 97:639–643.Erythorbic acid is an isomer of ascorbic acid. Isomers are compounds that have the same kinds and numbers of atoms, but different molecular arrangements. The difference in molecular arrangement among isomers may result in different chemical properties. Erythorbic acid is used in the US as an antioxidant food additive and is generally recognized as safe. It has been estimated that more than 200 mg erythorbic acid per capita is introduced daily into the US food system. Unlike ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid does not appear to exert vitamin C activity, for example, it did not prevent scurvy in guinea pigs (one of the few animal species other than humans that does not synthesize ascorbic acid). However, guinea pig studies also indicated that increased erythorbic acid intake reduced the bioavailability of ascorbic acid by up to 50%. In contrast, a series of studies in young women found that up to 1,000 mg/day of erythorbic acid for as long as 40 days was rapidly cleared from the body and had little effect on the bioavailability of ascorbic acid, indicating that erythorbic acid does not diminish the bioavailability of ascorbic acid in humans at nutritionally relevant levels of intake (17).

If you were to look at Liposomal Vitamin C under a microscope, you might think it looks similar to an onion. That’s because it has numerous layers surrounding its core. The phospholipid bilayers provide barriers to protect the cell. It also provides pathways for various substances across membranes.
