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.

"Helps keep colds and flu at bay"

We take a teaspoonful each morning dissolved in water with honey. I can''t swallow tablets easily so powder form is ideal. I actually prefer the taste of the ascorbic acid powder but since having stomach problems due to hiatus hernia I''ve changed to this one.

This would be it. I have been taking calcium ascorbate powder/crystals for years. Calcium ascorbate is easy on the digestive system, the powder is immediately soluble, and Vitamin C is something our bodies need but cannot make on its own. I am glad to find that Nature’s Best provides this great supplement.
