Life Extension Ascorbyl Palmitate 500mg – Fat-Soluble Vitamin C Supplement for Immune Support and Longevity – Water-Soluble Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian – 100 Capsules

Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) is an ester formed from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid creating a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that can reach tissue areas ascorbic acid cannot. This form is synthetic from two compounds; it has been shown to be beneficial for protecting the lipids from peroxidation. The lipophilic AP is able to cross biological barriers and satisfies the tissue demand for ascorbate better than the hydrophilic form. AP should be considered as the preferred form of transport of ascorbate into neural tissues.

VITAMIN C YOUR BODY CAN USE – Ascorbyl palmitate is special lipid-soluble form of vitamin C. What’s that mean? Well, most vitamin C is strictly water-soluble. Which means it flushes from your system quickly and can’t cross certain membrane barriers. Our Ascorbyl Palmitate, on the other hand, gives your body vitamin C in a form it can use.
IMMUNE & ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT – This barrier-crossing form of vitamin C offers your body tremendous antioxidant power, immune support and more. Bonus: vitamin C is one of the most accomplished free-radical scavengers around, which means it protects your cells from oxidative stress.
BEAUTIFUL SKIN – Most people supplement with vitamin C because of its immune health benefits, but this vitamin also supports collagen production: the most common protein in your body and a vital building block in beautiful, healthy skin.
INGREDIENTS MATTER – Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. This product is certified non-GMO and gluten-free. Manufactured in the USA and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.
