Directions: As a food supplement, take one capsule twice a day or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Buffered vitamin C, in a gentle, non-acidic form
400 mg of vitamin C as buffered calcium ascorbate — pH-neutral, not acidic — with a little inner-leaf Desert Harvest aloe vera, in 90 vegan capsules. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. A calm daily food supplement, distributed across Europe by Bivio Medical.
What's in every capsule
Vitamin C, gently buffered
Vitamin C as a buffered mineral ascorbate, with a little inner-leaf aloe vera — described plainly, in composition facts, using only the authorised EU nutrient claims.
Buffered, non-acidic form
Vitamin C as calcium ascorbate — a buffered, pH-neutral form — rather than acidic ascorbic acid. A gentler choice for sensitive systems.
Everyday immune support
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress — authorised EU claims. 400 mg per capsule.
An easy daily habit
90 vegan capsules with a little inner-leaf aloe vera. One capsule, up to twice a day, as part of a calm routine.
Why buffered
Vitamin C in a gentler, buffered form
Standard vitamin C is ascorbic acid, which is naturally acidic. This food supplement uses calcium ascorbate instead — a buffered, pH-neutral mineral form that delivers the same vitamin C, more gently.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal collagen formation, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress — these are authorised EU claims. It also increases iron absorption from food.
The buffered form makes it a popular choice for people following a gentle, bladder-friendly or sensitive-stomach routine. We describe the composition plainly and let you decide where it fits.
