Vitamin C as pure calcium L-ascorbate -.
the stomach friendly vitamin C
Vitamin C 500 from Sanutrition contains vitamin C in a particularly stomach-friendly form.
Vitamin C, which is acidic in itself, is bound to calcium in a buffered, approximately
pH-neutral form, and is therefore very well tolerated even by a sensitive stomach.
Multiple physiological functions
Vitamin C is especially popular when it comes to the immune system, defenses and the cold season.
However, the multi-talent fulfills many other tasks in the organism. Thus the skin benefits from
Vitamin C because it is involved in the formation of collagen, a component of connective tissue.
The same applies to the function of teeth, gums and blood vessels. Vitamin C also plays
plays a role in energy metabolism and increases iron absorption.
It also has a supporting effect on the nervous system and psyche.
At Sanutrition, we focus on products that help you lead a healthy and happy life and at the same time be in harmony with nature. We have concentrated on the development, production and marketing of Premium micronutrient preparations focused. From all regions of the world, we seek out outstanding foods and valuable botanicals that help you promote and maintain health and vitality naturally. All preparations are produced in manufactory standard according to the Pure substance principle– completely without artificial colorants, flavor enhancers, coating and separating agents in Austria and exported throughout Europe.
With the world’s first Paper can for supplements we set new standards in the field of sustainable, climate-neutral packaging. Our developments & productions meet the highest demands in terms of naturalness, purity and quality. We pursue this ideal at all levels, with meticulous love, down to the smallest detail.

Vitamin C
Synonym(s): ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate
Occurrence in food While almost all animals can synthesize vitamin C themselves, humans depend on external supplies of the water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is widely found in both animal and plant foods, with the latter in particular sometimes containing high doses. Among animal foods, adrenal glands and liver provide the highest concentrations of vitamin C. In the plant kingdom, all fresh fruits, fruit juices as well as vegetables provide abundant vitamin C. Particularly high amounts of vitamin C are contained in acerola cherries, sea buckthorn, peppers, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, kiwi and citrus fruits. Although potatoes do not contain high concentrations of vitamin C, they can make a significant contribution to vitamin C supply due to their higher consumption. Vitamin C is very sensitive to oxidation. Heat (e.g. cooking), light (e.g. improper storage), metal ions (e.g. copper pots) and alkaline media (e.g. sodium bicarbonate) are therefore associated with partial or total destruction of the vitamin. Even with gentle meal preparation, losses of around 30% are to be expected.

Physiological effects Antioxidant : protection of cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Recycles oxidatively depleted vitamin E Glutathione regeneration Immune system : Protection of phagocyte membrane from oxidative damage. Activation of the complement system Blood vessels : Antithrombotic and antihypertensive effect by increasing NO bioavailability. Collagen synthesis : Responsible for connective tissue formation as a cofactor of fibroblast formation. Support for the maturation and stability of cartilage: iron metabolism Improvement of iron absorption and utilization Histamine metabolism Promotion of histamine degradation and mast cell stabilization Adrenal gland : Involvement in physiological stress response through biosynthesis of glucocorticoids.

Immune classic vitamin C For colds, timely and adequate vitamin C supplementation can significantly improve the duration of illness in adults and children (7). High-dose administration of vitamin C can prevent a decrease in the vitamin C concentration in leukocytes and thereby increase their phagocytosis activity (1). Because ester C is retained long-term in white blood cells, 24-hour immune protection is provided by this form of vitamin C (8).
Allowed ascorbic acid, various ascorbates:
L-ascorbic acid, sodium L-ascorbate, calcium L-ascorbate, potassium L-ascorbate, magnesium L-ascorbate, zinc L-ascorbate
the fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate and ester-C.
