NSI Ascorbyl Palmitate -- 500 mg - 180 Capsules

Fat-soluble vitamin C that's stored in the body for 'round-the-clock antioxidant protection! Acts synergistically with other antioxidants, like vitamin E, to protect cells from free radical damage. How Does NSI® Ascorbyl Palmitate work? Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C. Unlike the water-soluble form, which does not stay in the body for long periods of time, ascorbyl palmitate is stored in cell membranes, providing a ready, highly bioavailable source of this important nutrient. Vitamin C plays a part in many important body functions, including:. Collagen production (important for the maintenance of healthy skin and connective tissue). Iron and calcium absorption. Red blood cell formation. Hormone synthesis. Breakdown of cholesterol. Bile synthesis. Another well-known function of vitamin C is its role as an antioxidant. It works to scavenge and neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that attack healthy cells, damaging their membranes, mitochondria and DNA, leading to accelerated aging and potential poor health. Because ascorbyl palmitate is fat soluble, it may be more effective than other forms of vitamin C in protecting the lipid domains of cell membranes from free radical damage. It may also provide vitamin E (a fat-soluble antioxidant) with protection from oxidation. NSI® Ascorbyl Palmitate is better because it:. Delivers 200 mg of vitamin C (from 500 mg of ascorbyl palmitate) per one-capsule serving. Is available at a greater value than similar products on the market.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.
