I love this buffered formulation with bioflavonoids to support immunity, collagen and support overall health. Low acidity, gentle on the stomach (and teeth!) and potent in a small dosage. No sugars or flavourings so when added to water it doesn't taste very interesting, but you can add it to fruit juice or other food/drink if desired. Only 1/4 tsp required for maintenance daily dose. This type of Vitamin C 'buffered with minerals to reduce it's acidity' is best for the body (i.e. stomach, teeth, bones, blood, kidneys, etc) as it supports our alkaline/acid balance. The bioflavanoids help the Vit C work better in the body, so you get more bang for your buck. I recommended this product to my mother when she was getting acid reflux after taking pure ascorbic acid, and within a few days of moving to this Ascorbate Bio-C low acidity product by Nutribiotic my mother's acidity issues resolved and she no longer needed to take antacid stomach medicine. The Nutribiotic sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate would be slightly more alkaline if that is what you want, but we like Bio-C because of the added bioflavanoids and it seems to be gentle enough for our family health needs.
