Vitakruid Buffered Vitamin C 90 Vegan Capsules

Ascorbic acid is by far the best known form of vitamin C. It is also the variant that occurs naturally in our diet and in most vitamin C supplements. In high doses, this acidic form can cause gastrointestinal irritation.

We have linked our resistance favourite to calcium/magnesium ascorbate, resulting in a more suitable form for high-dose vitamin C supplementation. This so-called buffered form is deacidified due to its mineral-bound structure, making the nutrient more gastrointestinal-friendly. In addition, the deacidified character ensures a higher bioavailability, which results in a significantly better absorption!
In the Buffered Vitamin C formula we have also included the trace elements manganese, zinc and copper. These are superoxide dismutase enzymes (SOD) that play a role in scavenging free radicals.* These free radicals are oxidants created by oxidation in the mitochondria, the energy centre of our cells.

SOD has a number of exceptional properties. For example, the antioxidants are not consumed when fighting free radicals. As a result, the trace elements remain functional in the fight against oxidants. Manganese, zinc and copper, a trio that acts as a fine addition to a resistance-supporting formula!

Zinc is perhaps the most important trace element for our body. The mineral contributes to numerous biochemical processes, including protein synthesis, the cell division process and the creation of tissues.* In addition, zinc has a positive influence on the immune system. However, the exact relationship between zinc and the immune system is difficult to determine, because we associate numerous immune system influences with the mineral.

Zinc and copper are also antagonists. This means that an increased zinc intake leads to a decreased copper status. That is why we have included copper in Buffered Vitamin C, in addition to zinc.

But copper, like zinc, also has a positive influence on the immune system. However, due to its diverse effects, we do not know the exact effect of the golden-brown mineral on our immunity. What we do know is that copper not only directly supports the immune system but that it also supports iron transport in the body.

OPC (oligomeric pro cyanidin) is an antioxidant that is absorbed by the small intestine and then distributed throughout the body. Grape seed extract we associate with oxidative stress and cardiovascular support. Because of its many health-promoting effects, OPC is often used as a separate supplement. In our formula, the same quantity as in such preparations is present at a more favourable price. The main reason we included this grape seed extract in Buffered Vitamin C is its ability to enhance the action of other nutrients in the formula.
