Buffered vitamin C esters – well-tolerated vitamin C supply Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in overall cellular metabolism. A vitamin C deficiency often leads to a decrease in well-being and performance. Since the body cannot produce vitamin C itself, it must be regularly obtained through food or supplements. Daily requirements are usually met by a balanced diet rich in vegetables and fresh fruits, but may be increased in certain life situations. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and increases iron absorption. When a supplement might be useful A monotonous or improperly prepared diet, smoking, stress, physical exertion, adolescent growth, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or reduced vitamin absorption capacity (e.g., in old age) can lead to an increased need for vitamin C. During such periods, supplemental vitamin C intake can help to reliably supply the body with this vital vitamin. Special properties of the capsules Each vegetarian capsule contains 400 mg of vitamin C in a special combination of calcium ascorbate, L-ascorbic acid, and L-ascorbyl-6-palmitate. The ratio of ingredients is chosen so that the acidic nature of the ascorbic acid is balanced and buffered by the alkaline calcium ascorbate. Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that releases the vitamin slowly over an extended period. By taking just one buffered vitamin C ester capsule daily, your body is reliably supplied with vitamin C. Unlike regular ascorbic acid, these vitamin ester capsules have a neutral pH and are therefore well-tolerated, even by sensitive individuals, while maintaining high bioavailability. Application & Consumption Recommendation Take 1 capsule daily before breakfast. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Swallow the capsule whole with plenty of liquid. Important instructions Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Therefore, continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a vitamin-rich diet. Keep the product out of the reach of children. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
