A factor in the normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth, gums and a factor in wound healing. Vitamin C is consumed in a supplemental form by millions of people across the world for its antioxidant properties, which are well-documented in medical research. Most sources of vitamin C are water-soluble and are active in the water-tissues of the body. Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat-soluble version of vitamin C that is active in unique tissue locations of the body delivering unique health benefits.
Vitamin C is extremely important to several body systems, mainly immunity and the formation of collagen. Many uses of this powerful antioxidant include supporting immune function, fighting colds/flu, and fighting toxins. Its role in collagen metabolism helps the development and health of gums, teeth, bone, and connective tissue. But some parts of our body are more difficult to protect with antioxidants than others. For example, every cell in our body is made up of a lipid(fat) bilayer that can only be shielded by fat-soluble antioxidants. NOW Ascorbyl Palmitate 500 mg is a scientifically formulated fat-soluble version of ascorbic acid (esterified Vitamin C), that is much easier to utilize in human cell membranes.
