Medicine Description buffered-c 500mg
Buffered-C 500 mg Tablets is a medication that combines ascorbic acid and magnesium ascorbate, providing a buffered form of vitamin C that is easier on the stomach. Ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and thereby protecting cellular integrity. The magnesium ascorbate component contributes to the absorption of this vitamin while providing magnesium, which is crucial for various biochemical processes. The buffering effect reduces acidity, making it gentler on the gastrointestinal tract than standard vitamin C supplements. This dual-action promotes overall health by supporting immune function, collagen synthesis, and iron absorption, while minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort.
