    NOW Foods - Ascorbyl Palmitate Antioxidant Protection 500 mg. - 100 Vegetable Capsules

    NOW Ascorbyl Palmitate 500 mg Vcaps are a scientifically formulated fat-soluble version of ascorbic acid, and much easier to utilize in human cell membranes.Antioxidants are essential to optimal health, it's just that simple. But some parts of our body are more difficult to protect with antioxidants than others are. For example, every cell in our body is made up of a lipid bilayer that can only be shielded by fat-soluble antioxidants. As a powerful variety of Vitamin C, this highly effective antioxidant has been used to promote and maintain healthy skin, increased energy and overall levels of vitality.

    • Esterified Vitamin C
    • Non-GMO
    • Kosher
    • Vegetarian & Vegan
    • Free of Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Egg & Nuts

    What is Calcium Ascorbate?
    Calcium Ascorbate is a buffered salt (mineral) form of the water-soluble antioxidant Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Calcium is reacted with ascorbic acid to buffer the acidic nature of this vitamin, making it more gentle for the special needs of those who may have a sensitive gastrointestinal tract. The pH of this buffered mineral Ascorbate is approximately 6.8~7.4 as compared to ascorbic acid that is about a pH of 2.5. Calcium Ascorbate provides approximately 10% elemental calcium.

    What does Calcium Ascorbate do?
    Ascorbate (vitamin C) is a reducing sugar (has a reactive ene-diol structure) that is involved in biochemical processes such as hydroxylation of proline and lysine utilized in the formation of collagen and healthy connective tissue. A deficiency in Ascorbate results in a disease called scurvy which manifests as weakened collagen fibers, rotting teeth, delayed healing and open sores on the skin. Ascorbate is involved in many other vital functions such as the mobilization of iron, stimulation of immune system and as an anti-oxidant for scavenging of reactive free radicals.

    Is this a necessary vitamin or can our bodies make enough to satisfy our needs?
    Many plants and animals do not need to consume foods high in ascorbic acid to meet their need for Vitamin C because they are genetically programmed to produce enzymes that convert glucose into ascorbic acid. Unfortunately humans have only 3 of the 4 enzymes necessary for internal production of ascorbic acid, therefore we must satisfy our physical needs for this important vitamin through our intake of foods rich in vitamin C and/or take a good supplement.

    What is the function of the Citrus Bioflavonoids?
    Bioflavonoids are biologically active Flavonoid compounds found throughout the entire plant kingdom. Since the discovery of Flavonoids in 1936 when they were first isolated from lemons and called citrin and Vitamin P over 4,000 different types have been characterized. Though there are several forms of Bioflavonoids in the complex the predominant form is Hesperidin. These Flavonoids exhibit beneficial effects on capillary permeability and therefore support blood flow. They are antioxidants that work synergistically with Vitamin C.

    Why are there color variations in your different Vitamin C products, and are they safe to take?
    Most natural Vitamin C products vary in color from batch to batch and bottle to bottle. There are normally variations in the color of the raw material used during manufacturing, which is a normal occurrence. This is due to natural color variations in the source of the Vitamin C generally, you will find C supplements to range in color from a light tan color to a light gray color.Over the cours:" ":mal occurrence, and the product is safe to use up until the expiration date, and even beyond. NOW™ is generally conservative with expiration dates, so a Vitamin C product is still safe after the date, it just may not be as effective due to oxidation.

    Can I pour the powder in NOW Vitamin C capsules into a liquid instead of swallowing the capsule?
    Many people do not want to or cannot swallow capsules, tablets or softgels, for various reasons. Encapsulated Vitamin C products from NOW™ can be opened and dumped into a liquid for consumption. Juice or water is recommended if you choose this method. However, taking Vitamin C with water on an empty stomach is the recommended method of ingestion.NOW does not recommend trying this method with Vitamin C in tablet form, although you can grind or smash a tablet into powder form and add to water or juice. If you choose to do this, use a mortar and pestle for best results and minimal loss of product.Why go through the trouble when NOW carries Vitamin C in a powdered form already. Save yourself time and trouble by ordering this form instead.

    Suggested Use

    Take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily, preferably with food.

    Very rough
    Well, health wise I’m assuming they do what they are supposed to do but calling them a ‘lozenge’ is a stretch. After the first one (directions say to let it dissolve, do not chew) my mouth got sore. Those things are ROUGH!!! I ended up dissolving them in boiling water (not an easy task) just to get them useable.
    Needless to say, after a week or so I quit using. They need to be smoother and actually have the ability to dissolve.
