Life Extension – Buffered Vitamin C Powder
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.1-8 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while inhibiting its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.
More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress. Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals, cigarette smoking, and extreme temperatures, also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.
Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

This is a perfect buffered vitamin C option for daily use. The price is reasonable and it is easy to take. The taste is mild (especially compared to an ascorbic acid product I was using previously) and it mixes well in water.

Mixes well, no noticeable side effects. I add fresh lime juice to it and glass of water.

This is an effective way to get Vitamin C, but it tastes horrible! I mix it with apple juice to help, but it still tastes horrible. I’ve even tried plain water and grape juice. It also does not mix well in food, like oatmeal. I would rather take it in pill form.

This is the best buffered vitamin C I’ve bought. Mixes easily and you get a lot for your money. 1/2 tsp is 2 gms. I highly recommend. Shipping was fast and customer service was great!

I am not happy about it, as no expire date on the product. May be already expired.
Can you please exchange another one with exactly like it and have the expire date printed
on the product. I also write the email on last week of December 2020 to explain it . No rely until now.

I use Life Extension Vitamin C powder in my daily smoothie. It’s buffered so there is no stomach irritation and in powder form so it’s easy to add to my smoothie.
