For adults who want to top up their vitamin C intake with one capsule a day and prefer a less acidic form of vitamin C, for example during regular intensive training.

What is in one capsule?

Each capsule contains 1,274 mg of calcium ascorbate. Of this, 1,000 mg is vitamin C, which corresponds to 1,250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV). The daily serving is one capsule.

What does buffered mean?

In buffered vitamin C, the ascorbic acid is bound to a mineral, here calcium. The resulting salt, calcium ascorbate, is less acidic than pure ascorbic acid.

Vitamin C in everyday life

The body can neither produce vitamin C itself nor store it for long, so it has to be taken in regularly with food. Good sources include peppers, broccoli, citrus fruits and blackcurrants.

The DGE gives reference values for adults of 110 mg per day for men and 95 mg per day for women.
