About NOW Foods – Vitamin C-500 Calcium Ascorbate-C – 100 caps
NOW Foods Vitamin C-500 Calcium Ascorbate-C delivers 500 mg of Vitamin C per capsule in the form of calcium ascorbate, a buffered, pH-neutral form of ascorbic acid. Because calcium ascorbate is less acidic than standard ascorbic acid, it is generally considered gentler on the stomach, making it a practical choice for those who find conventional Vitamin C supplements difficult to tolerate. Each capsule also supplies 55 mg of Calcium, both nutrients derived from the same calcium ascorbate compound.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones and cartilage, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress — all authorised claims under EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal function of digestive enzymes. Each serving further includes 10 mg of Citrus Bioflavonoids, standardised to 37% total bioflavonoids as Hesperidin, naturally occurring plant compounds found in citrus fruits.
