Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals seeking a gentle yet effective Vitamin C supplement, particularly those who experience stomach discomfort with traditional Vitamin C. The key benefit is its buffered formula, which aids immune support and antioxidant function without gastric upset. A caveat is that it is a powder form, requiring mixing. Swanson Buffered C Powder offers a vegetarian-friendly, 4oz supply of Magnesium Ascorbate, a less acidic form of Vitamin C, designed for optimal absorption and digestive comfort.

FAQs

The primary benefit of buffered Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbate) is that it is less acidic and therefore gentler on the stomach and digestive system compared to standard ascorbic acid Vitamin C.
How should I take Swanson Buffered C Powder?
Mix the recommended serving size (refer to product label) with water, juice, or your favorite beverage. Stir well until dissolved.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
The product is vegetarian. Please check the specific product packaging for any additional certifications or vegan status.
What is the source of Vitamin C in this product?
This product contains Magnesium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C.
How should I store the powder?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture, with the container tightly sealed.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Generally, yes, but it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional when combining multiple supplements.
What is the quantity of Vitamin C per serving?
Please refer to the 'Supplement Facts' panel on the product label for precise dosage information per serving.
Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping
Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use and stored in a dry environment. Moisture exposure can cause clumping.
Difficulty mixing into liquid
Use slightly warm liquid or stir vigorously for a minute to ensure the powder fully dissolves. Adding the powder to a small amount of liquid first to create a paste, then adding more liquid, can also help.
Experiencing mild discomfort despite being buffered
While generally gentle, individual sensitivities can vary. Try reducing the dosage or consulting with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
