Vitamin C
Vitamin C Benefits at a Glance:
- Neutralizes free radicals and prevents cell damage
- Necessary for collagen production and healthy skin
- Contributes to wound healing
- A potent immune booster
- Optimizes iron absorption
Vitamin C is an antioxidant vital to immunity, cellular health and protection, and collagen production. This is why you’ll find it as a key ingredient in supplements and products that support detoxification, bone and joint health, shiny hair, strong nails, and radiant skin.
Vitamin C supports immunity by encouraging antibody production, which is why it’s one of the first nutrients you’ll turn to when you feel a cold or infection coming on.
Another crucial role of vitamin C is to help you absorb non-heme iron, which is the form of iron found in plant-based foods that’s less bioavailable to the body than heme iron found in animal products. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, meeting your daily vitamin C requirements will improve your iron absorption from beans, lentils, tofu and vegetables.
Why It’s Included
In addition to its protective benefits for cellular health, vitamin C may also improve the absorption of L-glutathione in NanoGlut+B.
We use nano-liposomal vitamin C, which means it’s nano-sized (a tiny particle less than one micron) and can seamlessly enter the membranes through your mouth or skin and bypass the digestive process. This makes the vitamin C in NanoGlut+B up to 200 x more bioavailable.
Liposomal delivery also “protects” vitamin C in a lipid layer, which prevents it from being prematurely broken down in the digestive system – and allows for more complete and targeted delivery and absorption.
