Product Information
This is a gentle, non-acidic form of Vitamin C in powder form which is great for people who require large amounts of this vitamin or those who find tablets difficult to swallow. Calcium ascorbate is an excellent source of Vitamin C as the ascorbic acid (the official name for Vitamin C) is readily released from the ascorbate compound after it has been absorbed by the body.
The soluble crystals can be easily added to drinks or sprinkled on to foods, and each gram provides almost 900mg of Vitamin C plus 100mg of calcium.
We also sell calcium ascorbate in tablet form (see Gentle Vitamin C), which may be a more convenient way to take it during the day.
Vitamin C is well known for its role in the healthy functioning of the immune system, and it also contributes to the normal function of joints and blood vessels.

"Great product poor service"

Just started taking this product as it was recommended, due to it being non acidic. Too early to tell if I''m benefitting, but its soluable, and easy to add to yougurt or smoothies.
However, I ordered 2 pots as they were on offer, both tubs contain several months worth if oroduct and both tubs BBE date was Dec 2021! This means the 1st tub will be out if date before I''ve finished it, and rhe 2nd tub will be out of date before I start it! I emailed Nature''s Best "customer services" to complain and request a partial refund, and have received no reponse. I may buy the product again, but not from this company.

"Absolutely Brilliant!"
By Anonymous
, 24 Mar 2021
We have used this product for years after being recommended by a friend. We find if you take at the first symptoms and keep taking regularly throughout the day, you can ward off most colds/ fluey type bugs and I also find it helps when I start getting water infections.
I would panic if this wasn't in my cupboard!!
I've had 3 children and they've had very few bad colds or throats since we used this.
Known as 'magic powder' in our house. Vitamin C actually needs to be taken in big quantities if you're fighting an infection - when your stomach starts to feel a bit funny, then you can reduce the amount. I've taken 16,000 mg in a day when I'm fighting a germ. Really really works.
Saying all that, you have to have common sense, and do what works for you.

"Disappointed "
By Linda Powell

Purchased on your advisor recommendation as I find it hard to swallow in tablet form. Regrettably this is even harder to take as it feels as though my mouth is full of grit, even when mixed in with a drink. Total waste of money as completely indigestible.
