Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 How timely, I just finished researching Vitamin C, and I decided on the following brand of buffered C: https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SO-1041 It has no Calcium listed in the ingredients, but it does list calcium carbonate as the buffering base. Since it is not listed as an ingredient with a dosage, it may be in a small amount you can tolerate. Maybe you can call the company to get the MG's per capsule.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I wonder if you dissolved the ascorbic powder in water and drank it, if it would be more tolerable? Adrienne Vitamin C and the Gut HI All, I have been trying to raise my level of vitiamin C. Went to the buffered type but their is to much calcium in those (trying to also lower calcium) Tried the asorbic acid type and my gut just rebels! Is their a type that is more well tolerated??? I need to take large quanties of ViT C. Thank you all for your help, Janet This list is intended for patients to share personal experiences with each other, not to give medical advice.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 It has calcim because it is buffered with calcium. This is exactly my problem, the Vit C being buffered with calcium. The regular vit c is to much acid for me. Help!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 This may be a winner: http://www.intensivenutrition.com/magnesiumascorbate.htm Don;t know the seller or product, just came up in a Google of " " magnesium ascorbate " (quotes included). Think I'll try some of this myself...... - Bob Niederman On 8/16/06, Janet s <jgstev716@...> wrote: > It has calcim because it is buffered with calcium.

Went to the > buffered type but their is to much calcium in those > Janet, Now Foods makes a Magnesium Ascorbate powder that mixes well with water and is virtually tasteless. 1/4 teaspoon provides 870 mg of Vit C and 75 mg of magnesium. You can order a bottle with 227 servings from iherb.com for $7.55. You can buy Potassium Ascorbate too. It is easy just to add all this stuff to your drinking water since they are buffered and designed to mix well and don't upset your stomach. If you do have stomach problems try adding either something more acidic (lemon) or more minerals to get the proper PH for your stomach.
