Key Benefits of This Non-Acidic Vitamin C Formula

Vitamin C is a vital water-soluble nutrient that the body requires daily. It plays a key role in immune function, acting as an antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals and supports the health of numerous body tissues and systems. However, many vitamin C supplements uses ascorbic acid, which can be harsh on the stomach. Andrew Lessman's formula uses calcium ascorbate, a buffered form that is non-acidic and gentle, making it suitable for those with sensitive stomachs. The addition of citrus bioflavonoids enhances the antioxidant properties of vitamin C. Bioflavonoids are plant pigments that work synergistically with vitamin C to support capillary health and overall immune response. The B-complex vitamins complement this formula by supporting energy metabolism, nervous system function, and red blood cell formation. Research suggests that vitamin C is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels. Since the body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, supplementation can help fill dietary gaps.

The Unique B-Complex Blend

What sets this supplement apart is its inclusion of a complete B-complex with advanced forms of folate and B12. Many supplements uses folic acid and cyanocobalamin, which require conversion in the body to become active. Andrew Lessman uses methyl folate (the metabolically active form of folic acid) and methylcobalamin (the natural, coenzyme form of vitamin B12). These forms are immediately usable by the body, making them particularly beneficial for individuals with genetic variations that impair conversion (such as MTHFR mutations). The B-complex includes thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), and the active folate and B12. Each vitamin works together to support energy production, cognitive function, and healthy homocysteine levels. The formula is additive-free, meaning there are no binders, fillers, or flowing agents—just pure nutrients in micro-granulated powder form for fast absorption.

How to Uses and What to Expect

The recommended dosage is two capsules daily, providing 60 servings per bottle. Each serving delivers 500 mg of calcium ascorbate vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, and a full B-complex. The capsules are easy to swallow, and the non-acidic nature means they can be taken on an empty stomach without discomfort. For best results, take consistently as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. As with any dietary supplement, it is wise to consult a health care professional before starting a new regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
