What is Calcium Ascorbate?
Calcium ascorbate is made up of roughly 9 parts of ascorbic acid to 1 part of calcium. This combination makes it pH neutral. By combining calcium with ascorbic acid, two other benefits result: It is believed that the ascorbic acid helps to absorb calcium and become bioavailable to the cells, while at the same time the calcium holds onto the vitamin C, allowing the ascorbic acid to stay in the cells longer. Water soluble vitamin C leaves the body quite quickly.
As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not store vitamin C, so regular supplementation is vital.
The body's need for vitamin C increases during times of stress because vitamin C participates in the production of vital chemicals such as norepinephrine, needed for the 'fight or flight' response. Vitamin C also acts as a detoxifier, helping to cleanse the body of toxins, such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, etc
