Then this buffered version from LUTO Supplements is worth a look. Each gram of powder provides 873 mg of vitamin C in the form of calcium L-ascorbate. This is a buffered form, which means that the vitamin C is bound to calcium. This makes the powder less acidic than ordinary ascorbic acid. Convenient if your stomach reacts badly to acidic supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat distinguishes calcium L-ascorbate from ordinary vitamin C\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vitamin C supplements contain pure ascorbic acid. This works very well, but it is quite acidic. Not everyone tolerates it well, especially at high doses. This is where calcium L-ascorbate comes in. In this form, ascorbic acid is bound to calcium, making the pH almost neutral. Your stomach therefore feels it much less. The vitamin C part acts in the body in the same way as conventional ascorbic acid. The difference lies only in the tolerance. Moreover, the 97 mg of calcium provided per gram does not constitute a complete dose of calcium. Calcium is mainly present as a component of this buffered bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body absorbs vitamin C\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: your body cannot absorb vitamin C indefinitely from a single dose. Absorption occurs via specific transporters in the intestine, which eventually become saturated. At lower doses, your body absorbs proportionally more than at very high doses. With 873 mg per gram, you are well above the basic needs. Do you want to get the most out of your vitamin C powder? Then spread the intake over the day. Calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin C itself donates electrons in the aqueous environments of the body. In short: it works as a kind of redox molecule, notably necessary for the formation of collagen and certain neurotransmitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA powder form has its advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA capsule or tablet always contains a fixed amount. With a powder, you determine the amount yourself. Half a teaspoon is about one gram, but you can just as easily take a quarter of a teaspoon if you want a lower dose. The powder dissolves in water or juice. Thanks to the buffer, the taste is quite neutral, without that marked acidity you know from pure ascorbic acid. This vitamin C powder is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and GMO-free. It contains no flavourings or fillers, only an anti-caking agent based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. This is a vegetable substance that prevents the powder from clumping in the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e873 mg of vitamin C per dose, is that a lot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults is around 75 to 80 mg. With 873 mg per gram, you are therefore well above. This may seem excessive, but in the world of supplements, doses between 250 and 1000 mg are very common. Calcium is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones, and although the amount of calcium in this product is modest, each intake contributes to your total intake. The jar contains 200 grams of powder. At one gram per day, you therefore have more than six months' supply of this buffered vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vitamin C powder from LUTO Supplements is a no-frills product. A single ingredient as an active substance, buffered for better gastric tolerance, and freely doseable. No gadgets, just vitamin C in a form that your body tolerates well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390697840868,"sku":"8721055250579","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/f4d906ff-b793-4b16-9b6c-49293744a2e4.jpg?v=1783929308","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-vitamine-c-tamponnee-poudre","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
