What is Vitamin C?
Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal function of the immune system, normal collagen formation, the increase of iron absorption, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Why L-Ascorbic Acid?
L-Ascorbic acid has equivalent bioavailability to vitamin C from whole foods and superior stability compared to mineral ascorbates, making it the gold-standard form for precise, consistent supplementation.
What are the benefits of Vitamin C?
Immune function & white blood cell activity
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, accumulating to high concentrations in immune cells and supporting neutrophil function, lymphocyte proliferation and normal immune defence.
Collagen synthesis & tissue repair
Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, the enzymes that stabilise the collagen triple helix. Without adequate C, collagen production is impaired — affecting skin, tendons, blood vessels and wound healing.
Antioxidant & iron absorption
As a potent water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and regenerates vitamin E in cell membranes. It also converts non-haem iron to the absorbable ferrous form, enhancing dietary iron uptake.
