Who it is for

For adults who want to top up their vitamin C intake with a single capsule a day and are looking for an alternative to pure ascorbic acid, for example with regular intensive exercise.

What is in one capsule?

Each capsule provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C from calcium L-ascorbate dihydrate. This corresponds to 1,250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV). The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose; magnesium salts of fatty acids and silicon dioxide serve as anti-caking agents.

What is calcium L-ascorbate?

Calcium L-ascorbate is the calcium salt of ascorbic acid. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, it is not an acid but a salt, which is why it is called buffered vitamin C. The label does not state the calcium content separately.

Vitamin C in everyday life

The body cannot produce vitamin C itself and cannot store it for long, so it needs to be taken in regularly with food. Good sources are, for example, peppers, broccoli, citrus fruit and blackcurrants.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) gives a reference value for adults of 110 mg per day for men and 95 mg per day for women.
