Buffered Vitamine C 180 Vegan Capsules

Ascorbic acid is by far the best known form of vitamin C. It is also the variety that occurs naturally in our diet and in most vitamin C supplements. In high doses, this acidic form can cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.

We have combined our resistance favourite with calcium/magnesium ascorbate, resulting in a more suitable form for high-dose vitamin C supplementation. This so-called buffered form is deacidified by its mineral-bound structure, making the nutrient more stomach-friendly. In addition, the deacidified nature ensures higher bioavailability, leading to significantly better absorption!
In the formula for buffered vitamin C we have also included the trace elements manganese, zinc and copper. These are the so-called superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes, which play a role in scavenging free radicals*. These free radicals are oxidants created by oxidation in the mitochondria, the energy centre of our cells.

SOD has a number of extraordinary properties. For example, the antioxidants are not used up in the fight against free radicals. In this way, the oligo-elements remain functional in the fight against oxidants. Manganese, zinc and copper, a trio that forms a great addition to a formula that increases resistance!

Zinc is perhaps the most important trace element for our body. The mineral is involved in numerous biochemical processes, including protein synthesis, cell division and tissue building.* Zinc also has a positive influence on the immune system. However, the exact relationship between zinc and the immune system is difficult to determine, as we associate numerous influences on the immune system with the mineral.

Zinc and copper are also antagonists. This means that increased zinc intake leads to decreased copper intake. That is why we have added copper to buffered vitamin C, in addition to zinc.

But copper, like zinc, also has a positive influence on the immune system. However, due to its multiple effects, we do not know the exact effect of the golden-brown mineral on our immunity. What we do know is that copper not only directly supports the immune system, but also promotes iron transport in the body.

OPC (oligomeric procyanidin) is an antioxidant that is absorbed by the small intestine and then distributed throughout the body. Grape seed extract has been associated with oxidative stress and cardiovascular support. Because of its many health benefits, OPC is often used as a stand-alone supplement. Our formula contains the same amount as such supplements at a lower price. The main reason we included this grape seed extract in Buffered Vitamin C is its ability to enhance the effects of the other nutrients in the formula.
