InVite Health Buffered Vitamin C 1000 mg_ Antioxidant Protection and Support for Connective Tissue and Blood Vessel Health_ 60 Tablets _Pack of 1_

Vitamin Supplement Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body does not store it. You must obtain this powerful antioxidant from food, including citrus fruits, brocolli, and tomatoes or a Vitamin C supplement on a daily basis. Vitamin C helps protect the heart and artery walls and is required for the health of the lungs and immune system. Vitamin C is required for the conversion of protein to Collagen; 30% of our body is made out of Collagen, including 70% of our skin, 36% of our bone tissue, and 67% of the cartilage in our joints. Collagen also forms tendons, ligaments, the organic dentin of teeth, blood vessels, the lining of the intestines, meniscus of the knees, and the discs of the spine.* Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of L-Carnitine, a nutrient that allowed us to convert calories into energy. Vitamin C is also necessary for protecting vision during the aging process and interacts with Vitamin E to protect the brain. Brain function is very dependent on Vitamin C, in conjunction with B-Complex Vitamins. Vitamin C is actively transported and concentrated into brain tissue, and is particularly concentrated in the most metabolically active tissues.* The addition of Calcium in this Buffered Vitamin C supplement eases the acidity of the high Vitamin C content, making it easier for those with a sensitive stomach to absorb Vitamin C’s excellent health benefits. Individuals who suffer from digestive or stomach problems can more easily manage Buffered Vitamin C, even if they are sensitive to other forms of this nutrient. The Calcium content in Buffered Vitamin C also allows the Vitamin C to be more slowly absorbed and last longer in the body.*
