Description
Naturally VITAMIN C embodies the comprehensive balance of nature by combining SIX synergistic forms of Vitamin C with natural Vitamin C enhancers, bioflavonoids, and Dietary Indoles. Go beyond simple ascorbic acid and experience the full-body benefits of SIX as inspired by nature. Boost your immune system and “naturally” raise your antioxidant potential.
Six Naturally occurring Forms of Vitamin C:
- Ascorbic Acid
- Dehydoascorbic Acid (DHA)
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Calcium Ascorbate
- Sodium Ascorbate
Ascorbic acid, commonly known as “vitamin C”, is an essential nutrient with numerous health benefits. It functions as a powerful antioxidant, an immune booster, and supports various vital processes in the body. Key benefits include antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, brain, and cognitive health support. It helps convert plant-based non-heme iron into a more absorbable form which promotes collagen, can speed up wound healing and tissue repair, and helps maintain skin elasticity.
Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) DHA is readily converted back into ascorbic acid allowing the body to efficiently reuse vitamin C, important especially under conditions of oxidative stress. Some cells, such as red blood cells and neurons can take up DHA more efficiently than ascorbic acid. DHA may play a critical role in delivering vitamin C to the brain because the blood-brain barrier selectively transports DHA rather than ascorbic acid. This helps protect neurons from oxidative stress and supports cognitive function. As a precursor to ascorbic acid, DHA indirectly supports immune function by aiding in white blood cell activity and enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections.
Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C which allows it to penetrate cell membranes more effectively. Because of this, it can cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting overall cellular health in the brain. It also supports liver, skin, and nervous system tissue health. It complements water-soluble forms of vitamin C, offering antioxidant protection in both water and fat-based environments.
Ascorbyl glucoside is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C that is more stable than its other vitamin C counterparts. It also releases more gradually so its effects are longer lasting. Along with its immune support qualities and enhanced bioavailability, ascorbyl glucoside also stimulates collagen production, healthy skin pigmentation and hydration, and promotes joint, bone, and connective tissue health.
Calcium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C that combines ascorbic acid with calcium which makes it highly beneficial to your bones and heart. It is gentle on the stomach and can enhance vitamin C and iron absorption as well as promote collagen.
Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C where ascorbic acid is combined with sodium. This non-acidic form offers several benefits, particularly for individuals who need vitamin C but are sensitive to the acidic nature of ascorbic acid. Sodium ascorbate enhances white blood cell activity, improves absorption, and supports collagen production. Sodium ascorbate maintains healthy skin, cartilage, and connective tissue, and promotes wound healing and skin repair. It also promotes iron absorption and supports vascular integrity.
Natural Vitamin C vs. Synthetic:
While synthetic vitamin C (most commonly ascorbic acid) is chemically identical to natural forms, natural vitamin C forms include other beneficial compounds like bioflavonoids and co-factors, which may enhance absorption and efficacy. Therefore, taking a natural form over a synthetic one will generally be more beneficial.
