Description
Patient One Vitamin C 1000 supplies 1000 mg of all natural C-lipid metabolites, along with 200 mg of citrus bioflavonoids. Vitamin C is a water soluable vitamin that the body does not make or store. Our advanced formula uses a special delivery system that allows the vitamin C to be more rapidly absorbed and retained by the body. Ascorbic acid is combined with fat-soluble compounds (from vegetable wax) that increase vitamin C’s function in the body. Bioflavonoids, polyphenolic compounds found in plants such as vitamin C-rich citrus fruit, are included to complement the activities of Vitamin C.
Sufficient intake and retention is necessary to maintain vitamin C status in the body. Factors that increase the human requirement for this essential nutrient include stress, smoking, pollution, radiation and heavy metal exposure, and immune challenges.
Vitamin C supports a diverse range of bodily functions, including immune stimulation and protection, vascular function and synthesis of collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitters. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals.
Vitamin C has been widely studied and is commonly known for its role in moderating the severity or duration of acute immune challenges. Vitamin C also plays a role in the deactivation of histamine.
Its essential role in the formation of collagen makes it crucial in maintaining skin, gum, capillary, joint and skeletal health. Vitamin C is important in energy production, as synthesis of carnitine is dependent upon this nutrient.
