Buffered Vitamin C Powder (Sodium Ascorbate) – Immunity, Powerful Antioxidants, Collagen & Healthy Skin, Recovery & Gastric Comfort – Advanced Support For Energy & Oxidative Resilience

Vitamin C Crystals Buffered, NOW Foods, is fine sodium ascorbate powder – buffered form of vitamin C – designed to provide high bioavailability and excellent gastric tolerance. Each serving provides 1.67 g (1,670 mg) vitamin C, generously covering daily needs, plus 210 mg sodium (approx. 9% DV), in format easy to dose and mix with water or smoothies. As key antioxidant, vitamin C contributes to cellular protection against oxidative stress, to immune system support, to collagen formation for skin, joints and blood vessels, as well as maintaining efficient energy metabolism. Buffered form (gentler pH) is ideal for people with gastric sensitivity to standard ascorbic acid, providing same power, with added comfort.

Detailed Benefits of Buffered Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate)

• Robust immunity support, day by day

Vitamin C plays central role in normal immune system function, participating in immune cell activity and maintaining epithelial barrier integrity. In demanding periods – cold season, intense schedule or travel – adequate vitamin C intake supports efficient body response.
✅ Prompt and balanced immune response;
✅ Support for antioxidant defense at immune cell level;
✅ Daily partner for resilience.

• Major antioxidant against oxidative stress

Ascorbate neutralizes free radicals generated by pollution, intense effort or daily stress, protecting lipids, proteins and DNA. Additionally, vitamin C helps regenerate other endogenous antioxidants, contributing to cellular protection network.
✅ Advanced protection of cells and tissues;
✅ Supporting total antioxidant capacity;
✅ Redox balance for well-being.

• Collagen formation: skin, joints, blood vessels

Vitamin C is essential cofactor in proline and lysine hydroxylation, critical steps in collagen synthesis. Optimal intake is reflected in skin elasticity, joint comfort and connective tissue tone, including vascular level.
✅ Firmer-looking skin and structural support;
✅ Joint comfort and resilient connective tissue;
✅ Vascular wall integrity.

• Superior gastric comfort – buffered formula, gentle pH

Sodium ascorbate is "non-acidic" form of vitamin C. This buffering reduces potential gastric discomfort and is well tolerated by people sensitive to ascorbic acid. Dissolves quickly, has neutral-slightly salty taste and integrates easily in beverages.
✅ Suitable for sensitive stomach;
✅ Very good solubility, easy to use;
✅ Gentle alternative to acidic forms.

• Metabolic energy & fatigue reduction

Vitamin C participates in carnitine synthesis (involved in fatty acid transport in mitochondria) and metabolism of some neurotransmitters, processes correlated with daily vitality. Optimal vitamin C status can support consistent energy levels and clarity.
✅ Long-term vitality;
✅ Support for cellular energy processes;
✅ Supporting focus state.

• Iron absorption & micronutrient metabolism

Ascorbate favors non-heme iron absorption from diet, transforming it into form more easily used by body. In predominantly plant diets or combined with iron-rich foods, vitamin C is valuable nutritional ally.
✅ Enhancing dietary iron utilization;
✅ Useful partner for plant-based menus;
✅ Nutritional synergy on plate.

• Post-effort recovery & tissue protection

Following intense activities, oxidative stress and connective tissue microlesions can increase. Vitamin C contributes to cellular protection and collagen synthesis, important aspects for recovery and muscular-articular comfort.
✅ Support for post-effort recovery;
✅ Connective tissue comfort;
✅ Training resilience.

• Supporting cardiovascular health through antioxidant protection

By limiting lipid oxidation and supporting endothelial integrity, vitamin C contributes to maintaining vascular health, as part of balanced lifestyle (diet, movement, rest).
✅ Protection against lipid oxidation;
✅ Endothelial integrity and vascular tone;
✅ Complement to healthy habits.

• Balance in stress periods & adaptability

Chronic stress depletes antioxidant reserves. Ascorbate restores cellular defense and contributes to better management of daily demands. Robust antioxidant network translates to mental clarity and resilience.
✅ Support in managing oxidative stress;
✅ Clarity and general well-being;
✅ Maintaining antioxidant resources.

• Maximum versatility – easy-to-dose powder

Crystal/powder form allows fine quantity adjustment based on preferences. Mixes instantly in water, juices, yogurt or smoothies, without significantly modifying final taste. Ideal for whole family and functional recipes (homemade isotonic drinks, post-workout shakes).
✅ Flexible dosing;
✅ Easy integration in drinks and snacks;
✅ Practical for home, office or gym.

• Sodium content – useful detail for electrolyte balance

Each serving provides 210 mg sodium (≈9% DV), moderate amount that can contribute to electrolyte rebalancing in context of active lifestyle, especially when losing much water and salts through perspiration.
✅ Moderate contribution to electrolytes;
✅ Suitable for functional mixes;
✅ Clear information for intake customization.
