Buffered Vitamin C
🙋 I bought this buffered vitamin C!
At the pharmacy counter
💊 How much are you taking daily?
🙋 3000mg! More is better right?
💊 Your body absorbs maybe 500mg of that
The rest? Expensive pee.
📋 Fact: In a systematic review, when people took calcium ascorbate (a buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C) instead of regular vitamin C, significantly fewer people reported stomach complaints.
