What it is

Vitamin C Calcium Salt is a mineral salt form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). It is produced by reacting vitamin C with a calcium source, such as calcium carbonate. This form is often used because it is more stable and less acidic than pure vitamin C.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Vitamin C Calcium Salt to foods as an antioxidant to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage, especially in processed fruits and vegetables. It also functions as a nutrient supplement, providing calcium and vitamin C. It is commonly found in pickles, olives, relishes, and pre-packaged fruit and vegetable products.

Health notes

In the U.S., Vitamin C Calcium Salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It serves as a source of vitamin C and calcium, both essential nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vitamin C and its salts, establishing acceptable daily intake levels. Evidence does not indicate adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
