It is confusing, but I agree. If you google: is ester c buffered you'll find all kinds of combinations using the word "buffered", which IMO, is poorly defined. Ester C is patented, and as such, has a very specific formula/process involved in its manufacture. "Buffered" could mean almost anything, which could apply to Ester C or to some other formula/additives.

What's important for any of the forms of vitamin C is, is it working for you and doing what it's supposed to do.
