Buffered C Powder 8 oz (227 Grams)

This Buffered Vitamin C Powder was designed by Thorne Research specifically for people who are sensitive to the acidity of pure ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is the pure version of vitamin C. 

If you have shown a sensitivity to pure vitamin C, or if you have a compromised digestive system, you may benefit from this buffered version of vitamin C. This supplement, by Thorne Research is made with pure, crystallized vitamin C, which results in the easiest way to take high doses of this acidic vitamin.

Benefits of High-Dose Vitamin C

Many health practitioners recommend taking high doses (of several grams daily) to improve the function of the immune system function and antioxidant support. Vitamin C has been recommended by health care practitioners since the ‘70s and ‘80s when groundbreaking research from two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, was introduced.

High doses of vitamin C have also been used in combination to other treatments to combat stress, remove heavy metals (like mercury and lead), kill Candida, support a good balance of healthy bacteria in the gut and prevent hardening of the arteries.

Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits, broccoli, kale, bell peppers, parsley, cauliflower and strawberries, among many other fruits and vegetables. Still, with the standard American diet, it is quite common for people to consume low levels of this vitamin. If you think you may not be getting enough vitamin C, or if you think you can benefit from additional antioxidant support, a vitamin C supplement would be a suitable addition to your daily routine.

Certain people, such as those who smoke, are pregnant, suffer from alcoholism or take certain drugs, require an additional supply of vitamin C in their diet in order to support proper functioning of the immune system. If you fall into any of these categories, talk to your doctor about supplementing with Buffered C Powder or Thorne’s pure vitamin C product: Pure Ascorbic Acid.

The Thorne Research Difference

Certain people have trouble absorbing and digesting vitamin C, especially in high doses. If you have a sensitive or compromised immune system, this is especially so. This is exactly why Thorne Research developed its Buffered Vitamin C Powder. Each and every scoop contains the same quality of ascorbic acid that is in Thorne Research’s Pure Ascorbic Acid product. In addition to the pure vitamin C, this buffered C supplement also includes a blend of magnesium, potassium and calcium mineral ascorbates that function as a buffer. It is this buffer that helps soften the impact of the high doses of high ascorbic acid. When creating this supplement, Thorne Research made it its mission to provide a product that would allow sensitive people to take high doses of ascorbic acid with comfort and ease.

This supplement includes a full dose of 470 milligrams of vitamin C in each scoop accompanied by 350 milligrams of calcium, 350 milligrams of magnesium and 99 milligrams of potassium.
