Boost vitamin C intake gently without stomach acid irritation A buffered form of vitamin C that combines ascorbic acid with magnesium, providing 485mg of vitamin C and 36mg of magnesium per capsule. The buffering effect of the magnesium makes this form significantly gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid, which can cause digestive discomfort, acid reflux or loose stools at higher doses. This makes magnesium ascorbate the preferred choice for anyone who finds standard vitamin C supplements too harsh.Vitamin C is essential for immune function, collagen synthesis, iron absorption, wound soothing, antioxidant defence and the production of neurotransmitters including serotonin and noradrenaline. At 485mg per capsule, a single capsule provides over 600% of the NRV. The magnesium component, while modest at 36mg, provides an additional benefit as a mineral that most people do not get enough of. The vegetarian capsule shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Key benefits: Gentle vitamin C without stomach acid Dual support magnesium and antioxidant Sensitive friendly buffered formula Ships worldwide from the UK, with duties and taxes shown upfront at checkout. Each capsule contains: %NRV* Vitamin C 485 mg 606% Magnesium 36 mg 10% † Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established Magnesium Ascorbate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule). Directions for use:Take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times per day with meals.One capsule daily provides strong maintenance coverage. For immune support during illness or periods of high demand, 2 to 3 capsules daily (970 to 1455mg vitamin C) provides a beneficial dose. The buffered form allows these higher doses to be tolerated without the digestive discomfort that equivalent doses of pure ascorbic acid can cause.Spreading doses throughout the day is more effective than a single large dose, as vitamin C absorption decreases at higher single doses. Taking one capsule with each meal provides steady levels throughout the day. If taking alongside iron supplements, the vitamin C enhances iron absorption, making them an effective pairing.
