Product Notes:
Two Certified Naturals PureWay-C Formulas: Chewable Vitamin C Tablets & Bioavailable Vitamin C plus Quercetin & Zinc
Not all vitamin C supplements are alike in terms of how well tolerated, absorbable, effective, or palatable they are, even at the same dosage. To help ensure that as little as possible of it goes to waste, Certified Naturals offers this superior formulation of a generous (500 mg) dose of a special form of vitamin C which has been found to get absorbed more rapidly and to stay in the body longer than any other vitamin C formulations, including Ester-C.
Vitamin C has numerous functions in the body, including stimulating the activity of white blood cells in the immune system; helping wounds to heal; and helping form collagen and connective tissue to keep our cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, and skin and nails in good repair.
But some forms of it are not absorbed particularly well, so if they are taken in mega-doses, a lot of it just winds up either getting degraded in transit through your system and/or excreted rather than actually utilized, and some forms cause stomach upset.
PureWay-C™ takes a two-pronged approach to delivering the ascorbic acid at its core in a way for it to not only survive but flourish in our bodies without causing adverse side effects like stomach upset, by combining it with two protective factors.
First, it adds a complex of citrus bioflavonoids derived from the pigments of a type of bitter orange to provide an array of antioxidants to help surround and protect the vitamin C as it passes though the stomach and intestines.
Second, because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin which tends to get washed out and is not easily stored, it envelops those in fatty acids derived from rice oil.
This not only helps deliver the Vitamin C across the fat-based intestinal barrier and into the tissues where it is needed faster (otherwise, any excess conventional vitamin C dissolved in water would either just get "peed out" or need to rattle around our system for a while to get combined with lipids in our liver to complete that journey), but also helps keep it in the tissues longer.
