Summit Nutritionals - Ultra-C Plus

PHASED CONTROL

Vitamin C is essential in maintaining the health of bones, connective tissue, cartilage, teeth and gums, as well as being a powerful antioxidant. Our modern lives deplete our levels of vitamin C in many ways: through dieting, smoking, drinking alcohol, physical stress and environmental pollution. One fascinating published study showed that people who consumed 500mg of vitamin C daily lived five years longer than those who didn't!

This unique formula utilizes three different forms of vitamin C: ascorbic acid, non-acidic ascorbate, and fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate. Studies show that vitamin C can saturate in the body fairly quickly and has a relatively short half-life. In fact, studies indicate that the body can only handle about 200mg of vitamin C on a per dose basis. This means that doses in excess of 200mg usually go to waste. However, due to the patented PHASED CONTROL delivery system, our 500mg of vitamin C is released slowly over a period of eight to ten hours. This allows for greater bioavailability of this important protective vitamin. In short, maximum utilization, with minimum waste.
