Vitamin C
Ascorbic Acid (Buffered) — typical dose 1,000 mg
We don’t sell Vitamin C. Whether you actually need it — and at what dose — depends on your bloodwork. Get your analysis to find out.
What it does
Buffered ascorbic acid delivers high-dose Vitamin C without the gastric irritation of straight ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis (skin, blood vessels, joints), iron absorption, and immune function. The body cannot store it — daily intake is required. Look for a buffered form (with calcium and magnesium ascorbates) for stomach-friendly absorption.
Key benefits
- Immune system support
- Collagen synthesis
- Antioxidant defence
- Iron absorption
The evidence
Hundreds of RCTs across decades. Strongest evidence for immune support and collagen formation. Common bloodwork deficiency in smokers, diabetics, and those under chronic stress.
Where to buy
If your analysis calls for Vitamin C, this is the quality, single-ingredient version we’d reach for:
Vital Nutrients — Buffered C, Vegan Capsules (1,000 mg per 2 caps (mineral ascorbates))Buffered ascorbic acid at exactly 1,000 mg with no added bioflavonoids — a genuinely single-ingredient buffered C, which is rare.
