Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
Vitamin C does not occur in nature as an isolated compound; rather, it is always integrated into a rich matrix of various polyphenols and phytochemicals. Not only do these support the recycling of vitamin C and exert a synergistic effect through their antioxidant properties, but they also increase the bioavailability and retention of vitamin C.
The branded active ingredient Polyphenol-C® is a premium vitamin C complex combining vitamin C with standardised 10% polyphenols from a broad spectrum of fruit and berry powders/extracts (grape, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and cranberry). Inspired by nature, this premium active ingredient reflects how vitamin C occurs naturally in fruits and berries alongside natural cofactors such as anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and bioflavonoids. The berry polyphenols used to achieve ideal synergy are derived exclusively from pure, natural extracts of fresh fruits and berries, with no artificial flavours or preservatives added.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in amber glass.
Effects
Vitamin C is involved in numerous redox reactions as an antioxidant and cofactor, thus influencing numerous processes in the human body, such as energy metabolism and the immune system, and providing antioxidative protection to cells. It is also involved in the formation of collagen, the structural protein found in skin, cartilage, bones and blood vessels, as well as in the synthesis of hormones.
High concentrations of vitamin C are found naturally in fresh fruits, vegetables and berries such as camu camu, sea buckthorn berry, acerola cherry, rosehip, black currant, kale, parsley, kiwis and citrus fruits, among others.
The role of vitamin C in the body remains an active area of research. Almost every year, new mechanisms of action are discovered for this fascinating vitamin. The following statements regarding vitamin C are provided by the EU:
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Vitamin C contributes to:
- The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Normal mental function
- The regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E
- Normal energy metabolism
- Normal immune system function
- The normal function of the nervous system
- Protecting cells against oxidative stress
- Normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function
- Normal collagen formation for normal bone function
- Normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function
- Normal collagen formation for normal dental function
- Normal collagen formation for normal gum function
- Normal collagen formation for normal skin function
- Increasing iron absorption
- Maintaining normal immune system function both during and after intense physical activity
Dosage
Directions
Take 1–2 capsules (480mg vitamin C per capsule) with 200ml water daily.
Daily Requirements
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends an intake of 100mg vitamin C per day. The recommended daily intake according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is 80mg.
As the body can only absorb a limited amount at once into tissues before they reach saturation, and because blood levels of the vitamin drop relatively soon after ingestion, the intake of vitamin C should be distributed throughout the day.
Food Supplement
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
