  This supplement provides 448% of the vitamin C NRV, but is well within recommended upper limits. Quantities above 1000mg in any one dose are increasingly less well absorbed. More than one capsule a day will exceed the recommended upper limit for total zinc consumption. If you have a sensitive stomach and require Vitamin C, this product may be more suitable for you. Mineral buffers are used to change the PH balance in ascorbic acid, making it less acidic. Zinc and Magnesium ascorbates are used based on the bodys ability to absorb them.
