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.
Our formula includes citrus bioflavonoids, phytonutrients that are vital for proper absorption of Vitamin C. Studies have shown their ability to enhance and prolong the action of vitamin C.
