- The powerful nutrients L-glutathione and quercetin
High dose vitamin C as calcium/magnesium ascorbate
An insurmountable problem with this nutrient; we ourselves are not able to produce the vitamin. As a result, we are completely dependent on our diet for an adequate vitamin C level. Especially in our current busy lives, eating enough fruits and vegetables, 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-absorbable 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 arise during oxidation in the mitochondria, the energy center of our cells.
Turbo for the other ingredients OPC
OPC is often used as a separate supplement. This formula contains the same amount as in such preparations, but at 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, which we usually find in nature together with vitamin C. This natural dye is widely found in the plant kingdom and therefore 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 included together with L-glutathione. This is a tripeptide (a compound of three amino acids), which 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!
