Chewable Vitamin C

Vitamin C is crucial to human health. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin involved in numerous body functions. It is necessary for immune support and antioxidant protection. It is also
required for the formation of collagen, which promotes wound healing and the maintenance of skin, hair, nails, teeth and bones. Humans must get vitamin C through their diet consistently, unlike many animals, as we can’t produce or store it ourselves. Vitamin C is just Vitamin C…right?
Of all vitamins, vitamin C is perhaps the most well known to the public. Over the last several decades, researchers such as Dr. Linus Pauling have highlighted the many benefits of vitamin C, making it the most supplemented of the single vitamins. Vitamin C is no longer used merely for prevention of basic diseases such as the scurvy that afflicted sea-faring sailors in the past – it is now looked at as a nutrient for optimizing health outcomes.
If we choose to supplement with vitamin C, it makes sense to select aform that is well absorbed by the body. The main form of vitamin C usedfor supplementation is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is an excellent source of vitamin C as it exactly mirrors vitamin C in its natural state in foods such as fruits and vegetables. Our bodies immediately recognize
ascorbic acid. While fruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, it can still be difficult to intake optimal levels through fruit consumption alone. A medium
orange, one of the best sources of C commonly available, contains only 70 mg of vitamin C. This small amount is suitable for preventing scurvy, but not an optimal amount. On the other hand, when we eat fruits rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits and berries, we are not only getting vitamin C. We also get a healthy dose of bioflavonoids, polyphenols and other beneficial natural antioxidant components not found in supplemental ascorbic acid.
There is a new form of vitamin C that helps us to get the potency of an ascorbic acid supplement with the natural complementary benefits of
fruits, while maximizing the absorption of vitamin C. This innovative vitamin C is called PureWay-C™.

PureWay-C™ is a superior form of Vitamin C
Developed by researchers in the United States seeking to deliver a more effective vitamin C form, PureWay-C™ builds on the benefits of ascorbic acid and maximizes its effectiveness.
PureWay-C™ is a vitamin C formulated in a complex of citrus bioflavonoids and fatty acids. The citrus bioflavonoids are plant pigments sourced from the Citrus aurantium L. species of bitter oranges. These bioflavonoids are a powerful source of antioxidants that help to protect the ascorbic acid in PureWay-C™ (see chart below). Also in the formulation are fatty acids sourced from rice oil. These fatty acids
help to deliver the water-soluble vitamin C across the intestinal barrier and into the tissues where it is needed, while helping with retention
