- The powerful nutrients L-glutathione and quercetin
High dosage of vitamin C as calcium/magnesium ascorbate
An insurmountable problem of this nutrient; we are not able to produce the vitamin ourselves. Therefore, we are completely dependent on our diet for an adequate vitamin C level. Especially in our current busy lives, eating enough vegetables and fruits, the main source of vitamin C, unfortunately often falls short. In that case, taking a good supplement can be a welcome addition. Vitamin C in the form of calcium/magnesium ascorbate is a well-absorbed and biologically available form.
The antioxidants manganese, zinc, and copper
In the Buffered Vitamin C formula, we have also included the trace elements manganese, zinc, and copper. These are so-called superoxide dismutase enzymes, also known as SOD. These oxidants are formed during oxidation in the mitochondria, the energy center of our cells.
Turbo for the other ingredients OPC
OPC is often used as a standalone supplement. In this formula, the same amount as in such preparations is present for a more favorable price. The main reason we included this grape seed extract in the Buffered Vitamin C is its ability to support the action of other nutrients in the formula. The nutrient acts as a kind of turbo!
The powerful nutrients L-glutathione and quercetin
Quercetin is a plant-derived flavonol that we usually find in nature together with vitamin C. This natural dye is widely present in the plant kingdom and thus also in food. Especially in the outer skin of red onions, we find large amounts of quercetin.
In this Buffered Vitamin C, this flavonol is combined with L-glutathione. This is a tripeptide (a compound of three amino acids) that can be produced by the body in the liver from the amino acids cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. Together, quercetin and L-glutathione provide an optimal synergistic effect!
