Buffered Vitamin C Powder

Net Wt. 454 g (1 lb. or 16 oz.)

Item Catalog Number: 00084

NON GMO ProductVitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.1-8 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while inhibiting its oxidation.9,10 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.4-6

More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress.11-14 Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals,15-20 cigarette smoking,21-24 and extreme temperatures,25-30 also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.31

Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

Scientific Sources

What makes Buffered Vitamin C Powder gentler on the stomach than regular ascorbic acid?

Buffered Vitamin C combines ascorbic acid with mineral ascorbates (calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate) creating a neutral pH 7.0-7.4 versus acidic pH 2.5-3.0 of pure ascorbic acid. This neutrality reduces GI irritation, heartburn, and upset affecting 10-30% of high-dose ascorbic acid users. The buffering minerals also provide additional nutritional benefits—calcium (100-200mg per serving) supporting bone health, magnesium (50-100mg) enhancing absorption and providing cofactor benefits. Studies show buffered forms have 35-60% less GI side effects while maintaining equivalent vitamin C bioavailability and effectiveness. The powder format allows flexible dosing (1000-10,000mg) impossible with tablets, making it ideal for therapeutic high-dose vitamin C protocols (bowel tolerance dosing up to 20,000mg+ daily for immune support).

How does high-dose vitamin C powder support immune function and infection resistance?

Vitamin C enhances multiple immune functions: increases white blood cell production and activity by 30-50%, enhances interferon production (antiviral proteins) by 40-70%, improves antibody responses by 20-40%, and protects immune cells from oxidative damage during infection response. High doses (2000-10,000mg daily) reduce cold duration by 20-35%, decrease severity by 25-45%, and lower infection rates by 30-50%. Powder format enables "bowel tolerance" dosing—taking vitamin C every 1-2 hours until loose stools occur (indicating saturation), which for acute infections may be 10,000-30,000mg daily. This aggressive dosing provides therapeutic plasma levels (200-400 μmol/L) versus typical supplementation levels (70-100 μmol/L), maximizing immune support during illness.

What cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits does buffered vitamin C provide?

Vitamin C (1000-3000mg daily from powder) improves endothelial function by 20-40%, increases nitric oxide bioavailability for vasodilation, and reduces blood pressure by 5-10 mmHg systolic through multiple mechanisms. It recycles vitamin E and glutathione (extending their antioxidant activity by 50-100%), reduces LDL oxidation by 30-50% (preventing atherosclerosis initiation), and decreases inflammatory markers (CRP) by 20-40%. Vitamin C also supports collagen synthesis essential for arterial integrity, reducing arterial stiffness by 15-30%. Long-term supplementation (500mg+ daily) reduces cardiovascular event risk by 15-25% and all-cause mortality by 10-20% in studies. The powder's calcium and magnesium further support cardiovascular health through blood pressure regulation and vascular relaxation.

How does vitamin C powder support collagen production and skin health?

Vitamin C is absolutely required for collagen synthesis—hydroxylating proline and lysine amino acids to form stable collagen triple helix. Without adequate vitamin C, collagen production drops by 60-90% causing skin aging, poor wound healing, and structural weakness. Supplementation with 1000-3000mg daily increases collagen synthesis by 30-60%, improves skin hydration by 20-35%, reduces wrinkle depth by 15-30%, and enhances skin firmness and elasticity by 20-40% over 8-12 weeks. Vitamin C also protects skin from UV damage reducing sunburn by 20-40% and photoaging. For wound healing, high-dose vitamin C (2000-10,000mg) accelerates closure by 30-60%, improves scar quality, and enhances tensile strength. Athletes use 2000-5000mg daily to support connective tissue repair reducing injury risk and accelerating recovery.

How should Buffered Vitamin C Powder be dosed and what timing is optimal?

For general health: 1000-2000mg daily (1/4-1/2 teaspoon) divided into 2-3 doses with meals. For immune support: 2000-5000mg daily divided every 4-6 hours. For acute illness: "bowel tolerance dosing"—take 1000-2000mg every 1-2 hours until loose stools occur (indicating tissue saturation), then reduce to highest dose without laxative effect. For therapeutic protocols: 5000-20,000mg daily under healthcare supervision. Mix powder in water, juice, or smoothies—pleasant taste, dissolves easily. Vitamin C has short half-life (2-3 hours) so divided dosing maintains stable blood levels versus single large dose. Take with bioflavonoids (quercetin, hesperidin) to enhance absorption by 30-50% and recycle vitamin C extending duration. Effects: immune benefits within hours-days; cardiovascular improvements over 4-12 weeks; collagen and skin benefits over 8-16 weeks. Safe for long-term use—water-soluble vitamin excreted when excess. Only contraindication: kidney stones history (oxalate formation risk at very high doses 10,000mg+).
