Ascorbic Acid capsules are a Pure Encapsulations single-nutrient vitamin C supplement, delivering ascorbic acid (as l-ascorbic acid) in a vegetarian capsule. Ascorbic acid is derived from corn dextrose fermentation; the corn is GMO-free. Ascorbyl palmitate, present as an other ingredient, is likewise derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.
Vitamin C is one of the most well-known sources of dietary antioxidants, offering a wide range of support for the human body. It is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, and it supports the body's defense system by promoting white blood cell function and activity, interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen, helps maintain healthy mast cell function, and supports lymphocyte formation. Vitamin C also supports the synthesis of carnitine and steroids, and aids in the absorption of iron and the metabolism of folate.
This product is indicated for adults ages 18 and up. Pure Encapsulations formulates it using high-quality, pure ingredients backed by verifiable science. It is available in both capsule and powder forms.
