Not all vitamin C is created equal. While many people reach for generic ascorbic acid when they think of immune support, few realize that the form of vitamin C can make a dramatic difference in both effectiveness and tolerability—especially for those with sensitive digestion or chronic inflammation.
If you’ve ever experienced stomach upset or acid reflux from taking vitamin C, you’re not alone. Traditional ascorbic acid can be harsh, particularly at higher doses. That’s why PERQUE Potent C Guard Powder was formulated differently—offering a fully buffered, pH-balanced solution that’s gentle on the system and optimized for absorption.
What’s the Difference? Ascorbic Acid vs. Mineral Ascorbates
Most conventional vitamin C supplements use ascorbic acid, the synthetic version of vitamin C. It’s acidic by nature, which can irritate the digestive tract, especially when taken in higher amounts.
In contrast, PERQUE Potent C Guard Powder uses only mineral ascorbates—a fully buffered form of vitamin C that is bound to essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. That is why PERQUE Potent C Guard is referred to as “Nature’s ascorbate.” These mineral ascorbates are:
- Non-acidic and pH-balanced
- Less likely to cause gastric irritation
- More bioavailable, meaning your body can use them more effectively
The PERQUE Advantage: Formulated for Tolerance and Absorption
Dr. Russell Jaffe designed PERQUE Potent C Guard Powder with one clear goal: to provide a potent, fully active vitamin C that even the most sensitive individuals can tolerate. The result is a formula that:
- Delivers up to 100% l-ascorbate, the fully active and usable form of vitamin C
- Is fully buffered to a neutral pH, avoiding the acidity that causes discomfort
- Incorporates essential alkalinizing minerals that enhance function and support the body’s natural buffering systems
Many users find they can take higher doses—whether for immune support, detoxification, or inflammation modulation—without the typical digestive issues.
More Than Vitamin C: Benefits of the Buffering Minerals
The added minerals in PERQUE Potent C Guard powder aren’t just there to buffer acidity—they provide their own nutritional benefits:
- Calcium supports healthy bones, teeth, and nerve function
- Magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation, energy production, and over 300 enzyme systems
- Potassium helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure
- Zinc plays a key role in immune defense, tissue repair, and antioxidant protection
Together, these minerals enhance the overall effectiveness of the formula while supporting other essential functions throughout the body.
Who Benefits Most?
Buffered vitamin C is especially valuable for individuals who:
- Experience digestive sensitivity or acid reflux
- Require higher doses of vitamin C for stress, illness, or detox
- Live with chronic inflammation and need gentle, non-aggravating antioxidant support
- Are following a clinician-directed protocol for immune or adrenal support
For these individuals, the wrong form of vitamin C can lead to frustration—or worse, cause more harm than good. PERQUE Potent C Guard powder offers a solution that is both clinically effective and well tolerated, making it a preferred choice for sensitive systems.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to vitamin C, form matters—and so does the company behind the formulation. PERQUE’s commitment to purity, potency, and full disclosure means you’re getting a product designed not just to meet daily needs, but to excel under higher demand.
Whether you’re navigating immune stress, healing from inflammation, or simply seeking a smarter foundation for your wellness routine, PERQUE Potent C Guard Powder delivers powerful results—without the burn.
