Is the Chewable Vitamin C Complex Buffered?Updated 12 hours ago
No, Dr. Berg’s Chewable Vitamin C is not a buffered form of synthetic vitamin C. However, it is designed specifically for people who struggle with the acidity of traditional supplements.
Most "buffered" vitamin C products use a synthetic form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, and mix it with minerals like calcium or sodium to neutralize its high acidity.
In contrast, Dr. Berg’s formula is a whole-food complex. It is made from organic berries (Acerola cherry, strawberry, acai, and blueberries). Because it is a food concentrate rather than a laboratory acid, it naturally contains the bioflavonoids and cofactors that help the body process it gently. Many people with sensitive stomachs find that whole-food complexes are much easier to tolerate than synthetic ascorbic acid, whether buffered or not.
