Calcium Ascorbate

L-ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient for humans, in which it functions as a vitamin. Ascorbate (an ion of ascorbic acid) is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. In living organisms, ascorbate is an anti-oxidant, since it protects the body against oxidative stress and is a cofactor in several vital enzymatic reactions. In our toothpastes it helps maintain healthy gums and strengthen tooth enamel by reinforcing calcium bioavailability.
