Allergy Research Group NutriCology Buffered Vitamin C – 1000 mg – 120 Vegetable Capsules

What Makes Buffered Vitamin C Different?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but many people find that standard ascorbic acid can irritate the stomach, particularly at higher doses. Allergy Research Group's NutriCology Buffered Vitamin C offers a well-tolerated alternative. Each serving provides 1000 mg of vitamin C in the form of calcium and magnesium ascorbates – mineral salts with a neutral pH that are gentle on the digestive tract. This formula is ideal for those seeking the benefits of vitamin C without gastrointestinal discomfort. With 120 vegetable capsules per bottle, a daily dose of two capsules provides a two-month supply.

Why Choose a Buffered Formula?

Buffered vitamin C delivers the same immune and antioxidant advantages as standard vitamin C, but with improved tolerance. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. The calcium and magnesium ascorbates in this product also support normal collagen formation for healthy blood vessels, bones, and skin. Because the vitamin C is already bound to minerals, it is easier for the body to absorb and utilise. This makes it a suitable choice for individuals with sensitive stomachs or those who need to take higher doses.

Dosage and How to Take

The recommended serving is two capsules per day, providing 1000 mg of vitamin C. You can take them with or without food, as the buffered form is non-acidic and unlikely to cause stomach upset. For maintenance, one capsule (500 mg) may be sufficient; during periods of increased immune demand, a higher intake may be appropriate. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is usually excreted. However, very high doses (above 2000 mg daily) may cause digestive issues in some people. As with any food supplement, consult your health care professional before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

Selecting a High-Quality Supplement

When choosing a buffered vitamin C, purity and quality are paramount. Allergy Research Group’s formula is hypoallergenic, free from gluten, dairy, soy, corn, nuts, eggs, shellfish, fish, and sesame – ideal for those with multiple food sensitivities. It is also suitable for vegetarians, using plant-based capsules rather than gelatin. With over 45 years of experience, the brand is known for science-backed supplements. At 1000 mg per serving, it delivers a therapeutic dose in a form that is both effective and gentle.
