Health benefits of vitamin C supplementation in the form of calcium ascorbate

✅ Immune system support: Vitamin C supports immune system function, helping the body fight infection. Vitamin C enhances the function of white blood cells, which are key to the immune response, helping to boost the body's natural defences. Regular supplementation with vitamin C can reduce the duration of infections such as colds and flu.

✅ Protection against oxidative stress: Vitamin C is one of the most important antioxidants in the body. It neutralises free radicals, which can damage cells, accelerate the ageing process and lead to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Regular supplementation with vitamin C protects cells from oxidative stress and supports health at the cellular level.

✅ Supporting collagen production: Vitamin C plays a key role in the production of collagen - a protein that is an essential component of skin, bones, joints and blood vessels. Collagen supports skin elasticity, joint health and tissue regeneration. Regular supplementation with vitamin C helps to improve the appearance of the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and accelerate wound healing.

✅ Skeletal health: The calcium content of the supplement further supports bone and tooth health. Calcium is a key mineral that supports bone mineralisation, which can prevent osteoporosis and support the overall strength of the skeletal system. Vitamin C supplementation together with calcium is an excellent support for those concerned about bone health, especially in older people.

✅ Gentle on the stomach formula: The buffered form of vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate is gentler on the stomach than the traditional acid form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This makes the supplement suitable for people with sensitive digestive systems who may have difficulty tolerating higher doses of ascorbic acid.

✅ Support for detoxification processes: Vitamin C supports the body's natural detoxification processes, helping to neutralise toxins and supporting liver health.
