Description
California Gold Nutrition Buffered Gold C® Sodium Ascorbate Vitamin C is a gentler form of vitamin C, created by buffering ascorbic acid with sodium to make it easier on the stomach. If standard vitamin C supplements have ever left you with an upset stomach or a reflux feeling, this buffered sodium ascorbate formula is designed to deliver the same vitamin C support without the acidity that can come with regular ascorbic acid.
Why choose a buffered vitamin C
Standard ascorbic acid is acidic, which is why some people find higher-dose vitamin C supplements hard on the stomach. Sodium ascorbate is made by neutralising that acidity with sodium, resulting in a gentler, non-acidic form of vitamin C that many people find easier to tolerate. This Buffered Gold C® formula is designed to provide:
- A gentler, stomach-friendly form of vitamin C
- Support for immune function and antioxidant defence
- Support for collagen synthesis, important for healthy skin and joints
- GOLD Standard quality for consistent potency
How it fits into your routine
This buffered vitamin C supplement is designed for daily use, particularly if you have previously found standard ascorbic acid supplements too harsh on your stomach or have avoided vitamin C supplementation altogether because of that. Always follow the directions on the product label, and speak with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement, particularly if you are on a sodium-restricted diet, since sodium ascorbate does contain a small amount of sodium compared with standard ascorbic acid.
If you prefer standard vitamin C
If your stomach tolerates standard ascorbic acid well and you are after a higher-strength option, our Vitamin C Quali®-C 1,000 mg uses premium European-sourced ascorbic acid instead of the buffered sodium ascorbate form used here. You can also browse our full Vitamin C Supplements range to compare all the vitamin C formats we carry.
Available sizes
California Gold Nutrition Buffered Gold C® is available in 60 capsule and 240 capsule bottles, so you can choose the size that best suits how long you would like your supply to last.
