Produced in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities and 3rd-party tested for identity, potency & purity.*

• Immune support — Vitamin C supports multiple immune mechanisms (barrier integrity, leukocyte function) and helps shorten common-cold duration in regular users. (NIH/PMC — Carr & Maggini, Nutrients 2017)

• Common-cold duration (adjunct) — Human RCT syntheses show regular vitamin C supplementation reduces cold duration and severity in various populations. (NIH/PMC — Hemilä, Nutrients 2017)

• Antioxidant protection — Vitamin C scavenges reactive oxygen species and regenerates other antioxidants in humans, lowering oxidative stress markers. (NIH/PMC — Carr & Maggini, 2017)

• Collagen formation & skin — Vitamin C is essential for collagen hydroxylation; human data link adequate intake with improved dermal matrix and wound outcomes. (NIH/PMC — Carr & Maggini, 2017)

• Iron absorption — Vitamin C enhances non-heme iron uptake in humans by reducing ferric to ferrous iron and forming absorbable complexes. (NIH/PMC — Lane & Richardson, 2014)

• Endothelial & cardiometabolic markers — Clinical evidence shows vitamin C can improve endothelial-dependent vasodilation and select cardiometabolic risk markers. (NIH/PMC — Carr & Maggini, 2017)

• Blood pressure (adjunct) — Meta-analytic clinical data indicate vitamin C supplementation can modestly reduce blood pressure, particularly in hypertensive adults. (NIH/PMC — Juraschek et al., 2012)

• Wound healing support — Human clinical literature associates adequate vitamin C status with improved tissue repair dynamics and ulcer outcomes. (NIH/PMC — Carr & Maggini, 2017)

• Vitamin C + citrus bioflavonoids — Human and mechanistic data suggest bioflavonoids may complement antioxidant networks and microvascular skin support; direct absorption synergy remains mixed. (NIH/PMC — Kaulmann & Bohn, 2016)

• Threonic acid (vitamin C metabolite) — mechanistic and preliminary evidence suggests it may influence vitamin C handling; robust human RCTs confirming superior uptake are limited. (NIH/PMC — Hemilä, 2017)

• Alpha lipoic acid — Functions in the human antioxidant network and may help recycle vitamin C; high-quality human co-supplementation trials remain limited for firm synergy claims. (NIH/PMC — Shay et al., 2009)

• Skin/photodamage (adjunct) — Oral vitamin C–containing regimens have shown signals for dermal/UV endpoints; heterogeneity and combination formulas temper certainty. (NIH/PMC — Cosmeceuticals Review, 2013)

• NIH ODS Fact Sheet — Clinical overview of vitamin C intake, safety, deficiency, and research. (NIH ODS)

• Harvard T.H. Chan School — Evidence summary on vitamin C and health outcomes. (Harvard Nutrition Source)
