Vitamin C Complex: 8 Sources of Vitamin C
With EIGHT superior forms of vitamin C plus high quality citrus bioflavonoids,
PIONEER Vitamin C Complex is perhaps the most comprehensive vitamin C
formula ever devised. Most animals on earth are able to synthesize their own
supply of vitamin C, but humans must rely on dietary sources to obtain this key
nutrient. An important antioxidant in lung and other tissues, vitamin C is
required for a host of biochemical activities including collagen synthesis and
wound healing.
CONSIDER THESE PIONEER ADVANTAGES:
Eight Sources to Maximize Bioavailability. In the natural world, vitamin C
is found in many different forms, always accompanied by other compounds. While
we can’t reinvent nature’s simple elegance, PIONEER Vitamin C Complex
comes close by providing eight different forms and sources of vitamin C. These
include five chelated mineral ascorbates, fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate, Amla
(Indian Gooseberry) and free form L-ascorbic acid. Each form respects the
natural metabolism of the body. Combined in a dietary supplement, they mirror,
as much as possible, the broad array of natural vitamin C forms.
Researched Forms. Every year, clinical journals publish hundreds of
scientific studies examining the role of vitamin C in humans. Nearly all of
this research suggests the powerful therapeutic effects of vitamin C,
using the same forms found in PIONEER Vitamin C Complex.
Mineral Polyascorbates For Better Absorption. Chelated mineral ascorbates
(polyascorbates) are produced through a natural water-reaction process using
pure, USP-grade ascorbic acid and minerals. Such chelated vitamin C forms are
more absorbable than the commonly used, unreacted dry mixes of ascorbic acid
and minerals. Mineral ascorbates are non-acidic (pH neutral) and provide
additional levels of needed minerals. The minerals PIONEER includes –
calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium & manganese – work synergistically with
vitamin C to offer beneficial and supportive therapeutic effects.
Ascorbyl Palmitate: Fat-Soluble Vitamin C. Most vitamin C is
water-soluble and cannot access the lipid or fat portions of cells and
tissues. Fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate is both
recognized by and has an affinity for these areas, notably cell membranes,
where it functions to help protect against destabilizing free radicals.
Naturally Buffered, Gentle on Digestion. Excessive amounts of pure
ascorbic acid may cause an acid condition in the gut and lead to intestinal
discomfort, gas and loose bowels. Vitamin C Complex is naturally
buffered and pH balanced – approximately pH 5.7 (pure ascorbic acid is pH
3.5). Buffering helps to minimize digestive disturbance in most individuals.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Nature’s Vitamin C. Ayurveda, the ancient
medical system of India, highly reveres Amla as an important general tonifying
herb or adaptogen. Among the best natural sources of vitamin C, Amla also
contains antioxidant tannins. PIONEER’s 20:1 standardized extract
represents one of the finest guaranteed potency Amla extracts available.
Highly Active,Certified Potency Bioflavonoids. A natural extraction
process from whole lemon fruit makes PIONEER’s bioflavonoid complex
among the most potent and pure available. Many other brands use diluted
bioflavonoid mixes (sometimes only 1-10% flavonoids) or citrus pulp, with no
assurance of potency unless stated on the label. Our high quality complex
provides 50% bioflavonoids (typically including hesperidin and other
flavonones, flavonols, flavones and related phenolic compounds) plus
beneficial citrus fiber.
