We have used this powdered product for years. We feel this form of buffered Vitamin C helps us get our calcium and vitamin C in one easy to take dose. Easy on the body, no stomach upset. We mix a bit (1/4 tsp) into water or juice in the AM.
It seems to reduce the incidents of getting colds and the severity and length. Plus the other benefits of taking calcium or vitamin C.

Fresh Tasting Vitamin C Calcium & Lasts a Long Time
The supplements by Natural Factors are always very good quality never been disappointed. This is my go to Vitamin C when a boost is needed. Simply mix in the water by itself or with juice for extra boost of Vitamin C. My resting heart rate is now 66 on average, way better than before having it. Have been having it for two years every day.

Vitamin C Calcium Ascorbate Powder
I have been using this Vitamin C powder for over a year now. I take about 2000mg a day and give my 13 year old son about 1000mg a day as well because my son plays competitive hockey, he is very active and he used to get sick all the time with colds and coughs. I have not had a cold in a year since taking this Vitamin C powder. I increased my intake of Vitamin C to 4000mg/day, earlier this year when the pandemic set in. I wasn't sick; I only did it for a week in March then I went back to taking 2000mg daily. Back in January, after a strenuous hockey tournament, my son showed signs of coming down with a cold. At the first signs of the sniffles, I gave him 2000mg 3 times a day for 2 days, then the sniffles stopped and he never came down with the cold. I have recommended this product to many friends and family. Vitamin C is water soluble and this product mixes very well with juices, teas, and most liquids. I have tried it also in smoothies not containing milk products and in my coconut water. I have taken up 2000mg 4 times a day to fight an incoming cold, without an issue. I make sure that we all drink plenty of water and fluids to stay hydrated. I did notice that in higher amounts of more than 4000 mg a day, there is a softening of stools. That goes away in time and when the dosage is decreased. In conclusion, this is a great product that I recommend taking it daily to maintain good health.

Calcium Ascorbate C Powder
I have a very long-time friend who is extremely knowledgeable and way above average healthy and strong 78-year-old male friend. He guided and advised me of all the initial order I placed with National Nutrition which I so appreciated as he has dealt with this nutrition company's products for several years and has always been very pleased with the quality, great prices and ethical practices and service. Which from my observation seems to be on an enthusiastic mission to motivate as many receptive individuals to want to become healthier and more informed. Many thanks and much appreciation for existing and having your caring attitude and great knowledge and sources for customers to increase awareness and better health.
Sincerely,
Rick Leduc
newly pleased customer.

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
