Buffered Vitamin C contains high-purity ascorbic acid buffered with carbonates of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Developed by Stephen A. Levine, Ph.D. Although the elaborate process of producing cassava root source vitamin C has one step that involves the use of corn-derived alcohol, this formula is generally well tolerated by corn allergic individuals.
As a dietary supplement, 1 heaping teaspoon or more in 8 to 12 ounces of liquid between meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. As with all vitamin C formulations, as one begins to achieve body saturation, "bowel tolerance" may be temporarily exceeded and diarrhea or loose stools may occur. As the high levels of vitamin C in the tissues become used up, the bowel symptoms should ease. Ideal for controlling acidity often associated with hypersensitivity reactions.
