Buffered Vitamin C - Cassava
root
Formulated with carbonates of potassium,
calcium & magnesium
The unique cassava
source makes Buffered C Cassava root source well-tolerated by
individuals unable to tolerate other sources of vitamin C. The product
has exactly the same formula as #70000 and contains ascorbic acid and
carbonates of calcium, magnesium and potassium, giving it an
acid-alkaline buffering action (pH 7.0 in water) potentially improving
bowel tolerance and minimizing hyperacidity.
Cassava, or Manihot esculenta, is a bushy herb or
shrub from South America with long tuberous edible roots very rich in
starch. The roots are used as potatoes. Starch obtained from cassava
roots is a starting material for a multiple-step chemical process of
manufacturing of ascorbic acid.
Allergy Research Group/NutriCology Inc. has
pioneered the development of buffered vitamin C products, and continues
to offer the purest and least allergenic vitamin C products available
anywhere. In addition to its hefty content of ascorbic acid, our
Buffered Vitamin C Cassava root source also supplies potassium and the
macrominerals calcium and magnesium at approximately one half of the RDI
per level teaspoon. Due to its generous complement of calcium (350 mg
per teaspoon), supplementation with our buffered vitamin C may be
desirable for individuals who do not regularly consume dairy products. *
