Vitamin C is an antioxidant that comes in many different forms and claims regarding its
effectiveness and bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the degree to which a nutrient is
absorbed in body tissue after it has been orally administered. Mineral salts of Vitamin C (mineral ascorbates) is Vitamin C buffered with minerals which makes it less acidic and ideal for gastrointestinal challenges. Therefore, mineral ascorbates are commonly recommended for people who experience
gastrointestinal problems (upset stomach) with regular Vitamin C. When mineral salts of ascorbic acid are taken, both the ascorbic acid and the mineral appear to be better absorbed in unison, so it is important to consider the dose of minerals accompanying the ascorbic acid when taking larger doses of mineral ascorbates.
