Easily dissolved in juice, water, or any liquid or food. Vegan, non-GMO, and free from artificial additives. Available in 125g, 250g, and 500g sizes. Formulated by Natural Factors, a trusted Canadian natural health brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate is buffered with calcium, making it pH-neutral and significantly gentler on the digestive tract — allowing higher therapeutic doses without gastrointestinal side effects. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that the body cannot store, making regular daily supplementation important. As a powerful antioxidant, it protects the aqueous compartments of the body from free radical damage, supports immune function, and is essential for collagen synthesis — critical for wound healing, healthy gums, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1,000mg Vitamin C per ¼ tsp serving — as calcium ascorbate dihydrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffered, pH-neutral form — gentle on the stomach vs. standard ascorbic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for those who experience GI discomfort with regular Vitamin C supplements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps support immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps in collagen formation for healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps in connective tissue formation and wound healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides antioxidants that help protect against oxidative damage from free radicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal form — dissolves easily in any liquid or food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan, non-GMO, no artificial additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 125g, 250g, and 500g sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated by Natural Factors, a Canadian natural health brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMedicinal Ingredient (per ¼ tsp \/ ~1.3g serving)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin C (from 1,297mg calcium ascorbate dihydrate) — 1,000mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone.
