What makes Vitamin C8 great?

Vitamin C8 is formulated with minerals bonded with vitamin C, a superior form called ascorbates.

Calcium ascorbate is a natural form of vitamin C, which is much more readily absorbed in the bloodstream than other forms of calcium. Importantly, calcium is coupled with vitamin C to deliver the benefits of both calcium and vitamin C.

Magnesium ascorbate, which provides both magnesium and vitamin C, appears to be a unique and promising product, in that both the components have the potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Magnesium is the fourth most–abundant mineral in the body. It is essential to build the bones and teeth and numerous metabolic functions. Magnesium ascorbate is a neutral salt having significantly higher gastrointestinal tolerance.

Potassium ascorbate — Potassium is an essential dietary mineral that is also known as an electrolyte. The term “electrolyte” refers to a substance that dissociates into ions (charged particles) in solution, making it capable of conducting electricity. The normal functioning of our bodies depends on the tight regulation of potassium concentrations, both inside and outside of cells.

Manganese ascorbate — Manganese is important in the breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy. It activates various enzymes for proper digestion and utilization of foods. Manganese also helps nourish the nerves and brain, and is necessary for normal skeletal development.

Selenium (from selenomethionine) helps boost the immune system and protect cells against the effects of free radicals. Some studies suggest that selenium may reduce the risk of breast, prostate, liver, lung, and skin disease.

Zinc ascorbate — Zinc is a component of the enzymes involved in most major metabolic pathways in human and animal nutrition, with a wide range of biological roles. Zinc plays catalytic, structural, and regulatory roles in more than 200 zinc metalloenzymes that have been identified in biological systems. These enzymes are involved in nucleic acid and protein metabolism, as well as the production of energy
