Calcium Ascorbate is an innovative form of vitamin C. It is a patented, non-acidic vitamin C with metabolites. Calcium Ascorbate provides the important benefits of vitamin C to your immune system, joints, heart, eyes, skin and is even beneficial for many pets. Calcium Ascorbate is the only vitamin C with metabolites. Vitamin C metabolites result from the natural oxidation of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that occurs during a proprietary manufacturing process. A preliminary study suggests that the metabolites in Calcium Ascorbate help it to work differently than ordinary vitamin C because it is non-acidic. Calcium Ascorbate is an acid neutralized (pH 6.7) form of vitamin C and therefore gentle on your stomach and non-irritating to the digestive system. Calcium Ascorbate is natural, free of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), cruelty free, free of allergens, chemicals and artificial ingredients.  Calcium Ascorbate is Kosher- and Halal-certified.
