Buffering is the answer to that: the ascorbate is combined with mineral carbonates — calcium, magnesium, potassium — which neutralize the acidity while leaving the vitamin C intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get is a nearly pH-neutral powder, considerably gentler than the straight acid, with the buffering minerals arriving alongside as a small bonus rather than a filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the rest of the Ecological Formulas vitamin C line, this is derived from \u003cstrong\u003etapioca rather than corn\u003c\/strong\u003e. Most of the world's ascorbic acid is fermented from corn, and for a certain number of people that residue — not the vitamin C itself — is precisely what they react to. This exists for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C supports normal immune function, the synthesis of collagen, and antioxidant defense against oxidative stress.
