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.
Daily Intake
Take 1 to 2 grams daily. Do not exceed recommended daily dose. 1/4 teaspoon = 1 gram.
These non-acidic calcium ascorbate crystals are most effectively absorbed when taken with food. It can easily be stirred into drinks, taken with water or sprinkled onto food.
Food supplements should not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

"Had To Stop Using It..."
By Vivi , 18 Sep 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this product because I have IBS & Irritable Bladder (interstitial Cystitis) & can't tolerate acidic Vit C. This is supposed to be much gentler. I did ask for a sample first to see if I could tolerate it, but not allowed during pandemic... Unfortunately although I took very small amounts & with food, it caused a very bad painful bout of Irritable bladder, which I am still recovering from, so I can't recommend it personally, so spent £15.80 for something that I can't tolerate and caused a health problem.
Recommend to a friend: No

"This is my preferred method of taking Vitamin C"
By Peter Smith , 29 Apr 2020
Verified Purchase
I use this product when I can get it as it is easier in the stomach than straight Ascorbic Acid.
Currently I am having to use Ascorbic Acid because the ordered Calcium Ascorbate has not arrived after 5 weeks from order.
