CarlsonMild-C, 500 mg, Buffered Vitamin C, Immune Support & Optimal Wellness, Antioxidant, 100 Capsules

I am a huge fan of Carlt6on supplements. They are high quality, contain no artificial dyes or PEG and work great. Thanks so much for carrying this brand!

So glad that I found this brand of buffered vitamin C (calcium ascorbate.) Due to a medical condition I cannot ingest anything acidic or that is not low-oxalate, and I used to take Ester-C until about two years ago when they began adding "Citrus bioflavinoids" to their entire Ester-C line. However, this product from Carlson does not have that, and in fact says right on the bottle "Citrus Free". Thank you, Carlson!If I have one tiny quibble it's that I wish they made this in a lower mg version, perhaps 200 or 250 but apparently nobody makes that strength in a buffered C. The RDA for vitamin C is less than 100 mg/day and so 500 is rather an elephant gun, so to speak, for someone who is taking it only because they cannot eat C-rich foods. So I only take one every 2 or 3 days instead of daily, and that seems to be working okay so far.

The only reason for giving 4 stars is because the capsules are made out of a beef products. I didn’t notice this ingredient until I had a reaction of hands swelling (inflammation symptoms) from the buffered C. I am sensitive to beef products and it is my fault for not reading the label more closely. The buffered C is fine and works well when transferred to a vegan capsule. Just read the label for any allergies before buying.

Regular Vitamin C gives me constant heartburn. This product does not. Good stuff!!

I buy this all the time,no digestion problems at all

This is the second time I have ordered from Carlson and not received my order. I've learned my lesson.

This is a great source for Vitamin C. Capsules are never broken, digestion of the capsules is never upsetting. I’m in my fifth or sixth bottle and highly recommend.

My doctor prescribed this vitamin and a few others, but only from this company, for my ligament pain. It's a older company that uses old school medicine
