Calcium ascorbate

Description:
Calcium ascorbate is a calcium salt of ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in dietary supplements and food fortification. As a buffered form of vitamin C, calcium ascorbate is less acidic than ascorbic acid, which can make it easier on the stomach for some individuals. It provides both calcium and vitamin C, contributing to bone health and antioxidant protection, respectively. The compound is often used in formulations aimed at enhancing immune function and promoting overall health. In terms of stability, calcium ascorbate is generally more stable than ascorbic acid, particularly in dry conditions, which helps maintain its efficacy over time. It is important to note that while it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used appropriately, excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or other side effects. Overall, calcium ascorbate serves as a valuable nutrient source in both dietary and therapeutic contexts.
