Buffered vitamin C: particularly gentle on the stomach
Buffered vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate is the stomach-friendly form and therefore the gentle alternative to conventional vitamin C. The vitamin is bound to calcium. As a result, it is not in the acidic ascorbic acid form, but in the basic form.
Role of vitamin C in the human organism
Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins. It breaks down very quickly and is quickly used up in the body. On average, there are only 1.5 to 3.5 grams of vitamin C in the body. Most of it is found in the brain, liver, spleen, lungs, eye lenses and white blood cells. In these places it plays a big role.
The human body cannot produce or store vitamin C itself, so the nutrient must be supplied as constantly as possible with food. Vitamin C helps protect cells in the body. It is also involved in collagen production. Collagen is important for connective tissue, skin, bones and blood vessels.
Cell protection and immune system
As an excellent antioxidant, vitamin C can fight off free radicals.
Free radicals are formed as waste products of metabolism or enter the body from outside as environmental toxins. They contain only one electron and are therefore very reactive. They snatch electrons from other molecular compounds and thus also convert them into free radicals, which is equivalent to a chain reaction. Since free radicals are always on the lookout for electrons that they can grab, they disrupt important metabolic processes. They attack important proteins or cell walls or even the genetic material (DNA). This can damage various body cells. Vitamin C can neutralize free radicals by suppressing a reaction with oxygen, i.e. oxidation.
