Product Information
High amounts of vitamin C – several grams daily – have been
advocated for optimizing both immune function and antioxidant support.*
Evidence for the efficacy of consuming high amounts of ascorbic acid is
due in large part to the groundbreaking research conducted in the 1970s
and 1980s by two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, PhD.
Taking
high amounts of vitamin C can be a challenge for individuals who have
sensitive or compromised digestive systems. For these individuals,
Thorne Research has developed Buffered C Powder. Each scoop supplies the
same pure, crystalline vitamin C found in Thorne's Pure Ascorbic Acid,
along with a blend of calcium, magnesium, and potassium mineral
ascorbates that serve as a buffer, allowing sensitive individuals to
take large amounts of vitamin C with ease and comfort. In addition to
2,350 mg of vitamin C in each scoop, Buffered C Powder provides 350 mg
each of calcium and magnesium and 99 mg of potassium.
