NOW - Vitamin C-500 Calcium Ascorbate, 100 Capsules
Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system.* Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health.* Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron.* It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors.* This product supplies Calcium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that is bioavailable and nonacidic; it is enhanced with
Bioflavonoids, which work synergistically with Vitamin C.*
Vitamin C is perhaps the most popular vitamin known to man. It is consumed in a supplemental form by millions of people across the world for its antioxidant properties, which are well-documented in medical research. Calcium Ascorbate is an optimal nutritional supplement that combines Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) with Calcium Carbonate. By combining these two dietary ingredients, NOW has created a buffered source of Vitamin C that will not contribute to gastric irritation in sensitive persons.
