Metabolics Vitamin C Buffered

What is Metabolics Vitamin C Buffered?

Metabolics Vitamin C Buffered is a gentle, easily tolerated formula designed for those with sensitive stomachs. It combines buffered forms of vitamin C—Magnesium Ascorbate, Zinc Ascorbate, and Potassium Ascorbate—with added Magnesium Carbonate, offering a slower-release, low-acid alternative to standard ascorbic acid.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that must be obtained daily through the diet, as the body cannot produce or store it. Although found in fresh fruits and vegetables, it is easily lost through cooking or prolonged storage. Concentrated in metabolically active organs like the adrenal glands and brain, vitamin C plays a vital role in immunity, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defence.

Who is Metabolics Vitamin C Buffered for?

This formula is ideal for individuals looking to support immune function, energy production, skin integrity, and joint health, especially:

·         Those with sensitive stomachs or low tolerance for acidic supplements
·         Individuals with low fruit and vegetable intake
·         Vegetarians who may require support for non-haem iron absorption
·         People under physical or emotional stress, or with high activity levels
·         Anyone experiencing fatigue, frequent infections, or low energy
·         Smokers, drinkers, or those on medications like antibiotics, which may increase vitamin C requirements 

Vitamin C is rapidly absorbed in the intestines, reaching peak blood levels within 2 hours, but it is also quickly metabolised and excreted. For this reason, smaller, more frequent doses may be more effective than single large ones—especially during times of stress or illness.

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Collagen Formation
Vitamin C acts as a cofactor for enzymes that stabilise collagen’s structure, helping maintain healthy skin, joints, and connective tissue.

Nervous System & Psychological Function
It supports neurotransmitter production (e.g., dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin), contributing to mental clarity, emotional balance, and neurological health.

Energy-Yielding Metabolism
Essential for carnitine synthesis, vitamin C helps convert fat into energy—supporting physical endurance and reducing fatigue.

Immune System Function
Vitamin C supports both innate and adaptive immunity. It enhances the function of phagocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, and modulates cytokine production. It also maintains immune competence during and after intense physical exercise.

Antioxidant Defence
As a potent antioxidant, it protects cells from oxidative damage and helps regenerate vitamin E.

Iron Absorption
Non-haem iron (found in plants) is less bioavailable than haem iron. Vitamin C reduces ferric iron (Fe³⁺) to the more absorbable ferrous form (Fe²⁺) and forms soluble iron complexes, enhancing uptake in the small intestine. This function is especially important for vegetarians, menstruating women, and individuals with low iron status.

Reduction of Fatigue
Vitamin C contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue, particularly through its role in carnitine production and immune resilience. It is rapidly used up in times of physical or emotional stress, smoking, or illness.

Additional Benefits of Magnesium and Zinc

While vitamin C supports collagen formation, energy metabolism, and immune defence, magnesium contributes to these same systems by supporting normal muscle function, electrolyte balance, and the maintenance of bones and teeth—key structures built on collagen and reliant on mineral support.

Zinc works synergistically with vitamin C to support skin health, wound healing, and immune function. It also aids in the protection of cells from oxidative stress, supports vitamin A metabolism, and contributes to cognitive function, reproductive health, and the maintenance of normal vision, hair, nails, and testosterone levels.

Signs of Vitamin C deficiency

·         Frequent infections
·         Fatigue and low energy
·         Easy bruising
·         Bleeding gums or nosebleeds
·         Joint or muscle aches
·         Slow wound healing
·         Dry, splitting hair or rough skin

Severe deficiency results in scurvy, historically seen in people with no access to fresh produce for extended periods.
