It is so easy these days to choose a Vitamin C supplement suited to your own needs, lifestyle and budget as there are a variety of different forms of Vitamin C available.
1. Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin Nutrition Supplement
This is pure Vitamin C and has a sharp taste. It is a cheap and cheerful way to take Vitamin C but is most likely to cause gastric irritation in those with sensitive stomachs.
2. Calcium Ascorbate
Calcium Ascorbate is ascorbic acid bound to calcium, providing a non-acidic form of Vitamin C that is gentle on the digestive system. Calcium Ascorbate also provides a supplemental form of calcium.
3. Magnesium Ascorbate
Magnesium Ascorbate is acsorbic acid bound to magnesium. It is also a non-acid form of Vitamin C that is highly absorbable as well as gentle on the stomach. It is also a supplemental form of magnesium.
4. Ester C
Ester C is a patented formulation of Vitamin C in the Calcium Ascorbate form that makes it easily absorbable as well as non-acidic. It is a top of the range product and highly recommended for maximum, rapid absorption and for taking large doses. It is also the most expensive type of Vitamin C.
5. Tablet or powder
A powder form of Vitamin C will be more rapidly absorbed, as it does not have to be digested first. A powder form of Vitamin C will not contain any added tableting agents.
A Vitamin C tablet can be buffered to make it more gentle on the stomach. Vitamin C tablets can also come in time release formulations so that the Vitamin C is released into the body over a period of 6-8 hours, which can be more convenient than taking small divided doses.
Extra tip
Do not take Vitamin C supplements in tap water as the metals in tap water (copper and iron) will oxidise the Vitamin C and make it useless. Take Vitamin C with filtered water or juice.
Thank you for taking time to read this information about the different types of Vitamin C.
