Super C 1000

The vitamin C it is an essential supplement in our daily health and nutrition. Its contribution is fundamental and necessary for optimal functioning of:

• The immune system, improving the activity and effectiveness of white blood cells⁶.
• Joint and bone health. It is an essential element in the assimilation and formation of collagen.⁷.
• Provides energy and reduces fatigue.
• Contributes to improving iron absorption⁹.
• Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions, for example in the biosynthesis of carnitine and neuropeptides.
• Powerful antioxidant⁸.
• Vitamin C is involved in more than 200 metabolic processes.

Is an extra contribution necessary?

Vitamin C is a nutrient that the body is not capable of producing and we need to provide it through food. The recommended daily dose is 60-95 mg per day. However, this is the minimum dose under normal conditions, in the case of stress, infections, exhaustion, convalescence or wear and tear situations, this dose is much higher, reaching up to 2.5 g per day.¹.

Not all vitamin C's are the same.

The absorption of vitamin C directly depends on both the ingested dose and bioavailability. Super C 1000, of Vitobest®, is 100% Calcium L-Ascorbate, one of the most active forms of vitamin C. Calcium ascorbate contains calcium threonate, studies show that threonate increases the bioavailability of vitamin C.

Extended release and bioavailability.

To further increase their profits, the Super C 1000, of Vitobest®, goes in ergosphere microgranulesYou didn't provide any text to translate. Please provide the text in Spanish you want translated to English.

• They provide excellent absorption and assimilation properties.
• More comfortable doses. They allow taking the doses at sufficiently spaced times so you don't have to take doses outside the house.
• Reduction of digestive discomfort and acidity.

Advantages of Super C 1000 Vitobest®:

• Improved efficacy due to slow and prolonged release, not losing active ingredient in the digestive tract.
• Fewer daily shots.
• Most suitable therapeutic response.
• The treatment is better followed due to the convenience in the dosage.
• The bioavailability is higher, which reduces unwanted effects.
• Much less gastric discomfort and heartburn.

Why is the dosage and extended release so important?

The absorption and efficacy of vitamin C directly depends on the ingested dose. If the intake is less than 100 mg per day, between 80% and 90% is absorbed, while if it is 200 mg per day, it is completely absorbed, reaching a plasma concentration of 80-90 μM. On the other hand, there is a progressive decrease in the absorption of vitamin C with doses greater than 500 mg, for example, when ingesting 3 g, only 40% is absorbed.

Super C 1000, of Vitobest®, thanks to the extended release provided by its microgranules, it is close to the constant 200 mg range, which is almost total absorption..

Also, being calcium ascorbate achieves much higher bioavailability.

Vitobest® used for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide.
