The benefits of medicinal mushrooms are greatly enhanced when taken with Vitamin C as it assists in assimilating the medicinal mushrooms into the body. Because pure Vitamin C is acidic (ascorbic acid) it can cause stomach upset in some and teeth decay over time. Because of these possible side effects, Vitamin C is typically buffered to balance the pH. The most common form of buffered Vitamin C is Sodium Ascorbate. However, this is high in sodium, which can raise blood pressure levels. We have chosen Calcium Ascorbate as the form of Vitamin C to be used in our teas to avoid any extraneous side effects. The added benefit of Calcium Ascorbate is calcium, which is used in the prevention of osteoporosis.
