NOW Foods AlphaSorb-C 500 mg (180 capsules) contains 500 mg of vitamin C per vegetarian capsule. The vitamin C is in a buffered form, bound to calcium, making it a non-acidic form of vitamin C. Each capsule also contains threonic acid, 40 mg alpha-lipoic acid, 100 mg citrus bioflavonoids, 25 mg rosehip powder (Rosa canina) and 25 mg rutin from the flower buds of the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica). Take 1 capsule, 1 to 3 times daily, preferably with a meal. This means a pack lasts approximately 2 to 6 months, depending on how many capsules you use per day.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. You naturally find it in fruit and vegetables, such as citrus fruits, kiwi, peppers, broccoli and strawberries.
Buffered vitamin C is vitamin C that is bound to a mineral, such as calcium. This creates a salt of vitamin C that is less acidic than regular ascorbic acid.
Threonic acid is a substance formed during the breakdown of vitamin C, also called a metabolite of vitamin C. In this supplement, the calcium ascorbate is enriched with threonic acid.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulphur-containing compound that naturally occurs in small amounts in, among other things, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes and organ meats.
Citrus bioflavonoids are plant substances naturally present in citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and grapefruits. They are mainly found in the peel and the white membranes of the fruit.
Rosehip is the fruit of the dog rose, with the Latin name Rosa canina. In this supplement, powder from the fruit is used.
