Buffered Vitamin C 500 mg – 240 Capsules

Buffered Vitamin C: 500 mg as Calcium L-Ascorbate

Golden Elements buffered vitamin C capsules deliver 500 mg of vitamin C per capsule. Calcium L-ascorbate is used. One capsule corresponds to the recommended daily portion; the bottle of 240 capsules therefore contains 240 daily portions. The HPMC capsule shell complements the other declared ingredients in the formulation.

When you choose buffered vitamin C, the specific compound and the amount of vitamin help you understand the product. Calcium L-ascorbate refers to the vitamin C raw material used. The stated value of 500 mg refers to vitamin C and not to the total weight of the capsule or its ingredients.

Immune system, energy metabolism and cell protection

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal energy metabolism. It helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. These specific nutrient functions complement the information on the form and portion size.

Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth. It increases iron absorption. The various functions can be read about specifically without inferring an additional individual effect from the size of the portion.

What does buffered vitamin C mean?

Buffered describes the ascorbate form used in this product. The full list of ingredients includes calcium L-ascorbate, acacia fiber, L-leucine and the HPMC shell. It therefore shows which compound and which other ingredients are actually contained in the capsule. A formulation with magnesium ascorbate would be a different composition.

For comparison, the specific list of ingredients and the nutrient content per daily portion are decisive. The word buffered alone does not imply a personal guarantee of tolerance. The declared compound and the stated amount of vitamin C provide you with a verifiable basis to objectively compare different preparations.

500 mg vitamin C and statutory reference values

500 mg of vitamin C corresponds to 625 percent of the statutory nutrient reference value for adults. NRV percentages are used for labeling and comparison. They are not a personally determined requirement and are not a recommendation to take the same amount from other dietary supplements.

If you already use multivitamin gummies, multivitamin shots or other vitamin C products, you can use their tables for comparison. Portion sizes can vary greatly. A capsule, a gummy and a liquid shot are therefore always compared based on their respective daily amount.

240 capsules individually or in a bundle

One bottle contains 240 full daily portions. The individual product is an option for anyone looking for a vitamin C capsule formulation. In bundles, the same package is combined with other products. The applications of the other components remain separate; in particular, a vitamin D3 interval is not changed to a daily softgel intake.

For inventory planning, in addition to the number of capsules, storage conditions and the best-before date are important. The EFSA assessment of vitamin C and the approved statements in the EU register provide the scientific background for the described nutrient functions. They complement the product data without determining individual supply.
