Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is widely recognised for its contribution to the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal collagen formation, which is important for the maintenance of normal skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth, and blood vessels. These benefits are supported by scientific evidence and are authorised by the European Food Safety Authority. While these are well-established, it is important to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is acidic and may cause digestive discomfort. Buffered vitamin C, such as calcium ascorbate in this product, has a near-neutral pH and is gentler on the stomach. Sodium ascorbate is another buffered option, but calcium ascorbate provides the added benefit of calcium. Liposomal vitamin C is encapsulated for enhanced absorption, while whole-food sources like acerola and camu camu offer naturally occurring vitamin C with cofactors. This BlueBonnet formula use identity-preserved buffered calcium ascorbate, ensuring purity and potency.
