Description
Naturally VITAMIN C captures the balance of nature by combining six synergistic forms of Vitamin C with naturally occurring bioflavonoids and dietary indoles. More than just ascorbic acid, this formula is inspired by nature’s complexity to support a well-rounded wellness routine.
- Ascorbic Acid: A foundational form of vitamin C, known for its involvement in antioxidant processes and nutritional support across multiple body systems.
- Dehydroascorbic Acid (DHA): DHA is the oxidized form of vitamin C and is readily converted back into ascorbic acid within the body. Some cells, such as neurons and red blood cells, may absorb DHA more efficiently. DHA is of particular interest in brain-related research due to its selective transport across the blood-brain barrier.
- Ascorbyl Palmitate: A fat-soluble form of vitamin C that complements water-soluble types by offering extended activity in lipid-rich environments such as cell membranes. Often included in formulations targeting broad cellular support.
- Ascorbyl Glucoside: This stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C is known for its gradual release profile. It is widely used in skin and wellness formulations for its compatibility with hydration and pigmentation routines.
- Calcium Ascorbate: A buffered form of vitamin C combined with calcium, designed to be gentler on the stomach. Frequently selected for its stability and support in formulations that include minerals or focus on balanced pH.
- Sodium Ascorbate: Another buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C. Often chosen for its mildness and versatility, it is compatible with a wide variety of wellness applications.
Natural Vitamin C vs. Synthetic:
While synthetic vitamin C (typically ascorbic acid) is chemically identical to its natural counterpart, natural sources often include additional compounds like bioflavonoids and co-factors. These naturally occurring elements are believed to work synergistically with vitamin C, contributing to its overall nutritional profile and making natural forms a popular choice in wellness routines.
