Vitamin C is a water soluble compound that the body eliminates very quickly. In order for the antioxidant to prove its efficacy, Vitamin C must remain in the bloodstream for a long period of time. Since Ascorbic Acid is a highly acidic ingredient, Vitamin C quantity in the stomach should be limited. Although not proven, the body can typically absorb Vitamin C at a rate of at most 100 mg/hour; the rest is eliminated. In addition, the less the Vitamin C dissolves in the first hour after ingestion the less the potential for an upset stomach or occasional heartburn. Therefore, our TR C 500 Caps in pellets is an ideal product as the Vitamin C lasts for 8 hours and the potential for a sour stomach is reduced.
