Uses For Pure Ascorbic Acid
Various Physiological Support Properties:
Vitamin C offers a
wide range of support for the human body. It is a potent
antioxidant and free radical scavenger supporting cellular
and vascular health. Vitamin C has been reported to
promote nitric oxide activity as well as to help maintain
healthy platelet function. It supports the body's defense
system by enhancing white blood cell function and
activity as well as increasing interferon levels, antibody
responses, and secretion of thymic hormones.
Furthermore, this antioxidant has histamine lowering
properties and increases lymphocyte formation. It is
essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular
ground substance and collagen. Vitamin C aids in
the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood
cells and converts folic acid to its active forms.*
What Is The Source?
Pure ascorbic acid is derived from corn dextrose
fermentation. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) in Pure
Ascorbic Acid capsules is also derived from corn dextrose fermentation.
