Vitamin C That Doesn't Bother the Stomach
Plain ascorbic acid at a gram a day upsets a lot of stomachs. C-Zyme 1000 is buffered: the vitamin C comes as calcium, magnesium, and potassium ascorbates, which is far easier on the gut, and Apex adds its enzyme blend to support breakdown and absorption. Apex formulates it to support immune function and nonheme iron absorption.*
Who I Reach For This With
- Anyone who gets reflux or loose stools from regular vitamin C
- People building iron stores from plant sources who need C alongside
- Fall and winter immune support in a once-a-day tablet
- Patients on a gut-repair protocol where plain ascorbic acid is too harsh
What Makes This Form Different
The store also carries Pure Ester-C with flavonoids. C-Zyme 1000 is the tablet with the enzyme blend, from the Apex Zyme line, which also includes Zinc-Zyme and HCL Pro-Zyme. If you're already on other Zyme products, this keeps the line consistent.
How It Fits Into a Protocol
One tablet with a meal. With HemeVite Plus when iron is the goal; with Zinc-Zyme and vitamin D for immune season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1,000 mg too much?
Not for most adults; it's a common daily dose. Buffering makes it comfortable.
Can I take it with iron?
That's a reason to use it. Vitamin C helps absorb nonheme (plant) iron.
Why the enzymes?
Apex's Zyme line adds a small digestive-enzyme blend to each tablet to support nutrient breakdown and bioavailability.
Suggested Use: Take 1 tablet once a day with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 tablets per bottle.
