Then, to better sell to you, granddaughter.
You and I cannot survive without vitamin C. This is ascorbic acid. She is acidic, but weak. If you eat a lot of it at once, it can irritate the stomach slightly. It is in the form of acid that we obtain vitamin C from vegetables and fruits.
There are forms of vitamin C that are called buffered. That is, less caustic. There, ascorbate is combined with ions of sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium or some kind of organic matter.
Vendors of dietary supplements swear that in this form, their vitamin C does not irritate the stomach.
It may be so, but in medicine, for some reason, ascorbates of all these metals and organics are not particularly welcome.
First, vitamin C is no longer routinely used for disease prevention. So there seems to be nothing to buy from supplement sellers.
Secondly, in the amount in which ascorbic acid is used, it does not corrode anything even as a weak acid. And supplement sellers are shamelessly overstating the recommended daily allowance.
Thirdly, no one has properly tested the effectiveness of all these salts.
Well, in general, we get ascorbic acid in the form of acid from plant foods.
In addition, along with the salts of ascorbic acid, we will receive excess sodium or something else that we do not need right now.
In medicine, they decided that ascorbic acid itself is penny, and there is no reason to advise people to expensive buffered forms with incomprehensible effectiveness.
It is also imperative to cancel that the manufacturers of dietary supplements are not the first to use buffered vitamin C. Didn't you know? This is a food additive from the food industry. All of these salts and fat-soluble ascorbate compounds were made to improve the quality of foods and oils, but not for your health. You only then began to vtyuhivat them.
Are you still looking for some tricky vitamins and bisglycinates of something there?
