Product Overview
Vitamin C Ascorbate with Bioflavonoids uses a buffered mineral ascorbate — typically calcium and/or magnesium ascorbate — instead of straight ascorbic acid, combined with citrus bioflavonoids. Buffering vitamin C with minerals neutralizes much of its natural acidity, which is why mineral ascorbates are often chosen for consumers who find standard ascorbic acid harsh on a sensitive stomach.
Citrus bioflavonoids, compounds naturally found alongside vitamin C in citrus fruit, are added to round out the antioxidant profile of the formula and give it a more complete, citrus-derived ingredient story.
Why Brands Choose Buffered Ascorbate Formulas
- Mineral ascorbate (calcium and/or magnesium ascorbate) is less acidic than standard ascorbic acid
- Better suited to consumers who report stomach sensitivity with high-dose plain vitamin C
- Citrus bioflavonoids add a complementary antioxidant profile to the base formula
- Positions well as a premium or "gentle" tier within a brand's vitamin C lineup
- Popular with consumers taking vitamin C at higher daily doses over extended periods
Brands building a tiered vitamin C line often use a buffered ascorbate formula as the premium or sensitive-stomach option alongside a standard ascorbic acid SKU. We can adjust the calcium-to-magnesium ratio and bioflavonoid content based on your target label and price point.
This formula is produced in Health Genesis's FDA-registered, GMP-certified, NSF-certified manufacturing facility in Davie, Florida.
