Effervescent C

What Is Effervescent Vitamin C?

Immune health is very important and nowadays, more and more people are being proactive about their everyday health, making vitamin c a very popular supplement. In fact, the market for vitamin c has grown 70% in the last few years. Of course, these numbers encompass all forms of vitamin C supplements. Oral tablets and capsules are the most extensively used form of supplements, though they do not offer the best absorption. Effervescent vitamin C, on the other hand, is designed to quickly dissolve in water, releasing carbon dioxide which results in rapid disintegration, and providing a homogenous solution that is quickly absorbed and used by the body. When it comes to bioavailability, effervescent C can't be beaten, since it is 100% bio-available, versus synthetic tablets which are only about 50%-70% bioavailable.

Another advantage of effervescent tablets is that, when taken in their suggested dosing, do not cause GI issues like tablets can because they are completely and evenly dissolved prior to ingestion. The result is a vitamin C that is gentle on the digestive tract and causes no stomach or esophageal discomfort. In addition, effervescent vitamin C has been shown to offer superior stability and is extremely practical since it can easily be thrown into a gym bag or purse and brought along with you wherever you go, for a quick boost of energy, to enhance immunity, or to replenish electrolytes and hydration.
