Buffered Vitamin C with Threonic Acid and Alpha Lipoic Acid

NOW Foods buffered vitamin C comes in 180 vegetable capsules, each with 500 mg of vitamin C as calcium ascorbate. The formula is called Transport C-PLUS and combines non-acidic calcium ascorbate, enhanced with threonic acid, with alpha lipoic acid. Threonic acid is a metabolite of vitamin C, while the buffered form avoids the acidity of pure ascorbic acid. Each capsule is a single serving, designed to be taken with food.
