Strengthen your immune system naturally with a pure vitamin C intake!

This vitamin C supplement, of natural origin, is harvested from extracts of acerola. Its composition rich in bioflavonoids (citrus), is perfectly suitable for adults.

 Vitamin C helps to :  

• A normal functioning of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise
• A normal collagen formation to ensure normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, skin, gums, teeth and cartilage
• A normal energy metabolism
• A normal functioning of the nervous system
• A normal psychological functions
• Protect cells against oxidative stress
• Reduce tiredness
• Increase the absorption of iron

From its Latin name "Malpighia puncifolia L." the acerola is extremely rich in tannins and vitamin C (23 to 25%), which is equivalent to 40 to 90 times more than lemon. The fruit of acerola is tonic and astringent. Its natural vitamin C is:

• Useful in deficiencies;
• In antioxidant and immunostimulating cures;
• To fight effectively against free radicals,

It is essential to have a high intake of vitamin C. L-Ascorbic acid makes it possible to obtain higher values ​​to accentuate the desired antioxidant effect.

Dextrorotatory ascorbic acid

L-Ascorbic acid commonly known as pure vitamin C, may be levorotatory or dextrorotatory. This depends on how the molecule will deflect the light (right + or left - polarization). The polarity of dextrorotatory vitamin C is identical to that of natural vitamin C benefiting from good cell assimilation.

The assimilation of vitamin C

Humans lack the enzyme necessary for the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is therefore taken up in our food bolus. It is mainly absorbed in our small intestine and is found in abundance in our white blood cells (reserve site). The main route of excretion is the urine. Heat, oxidation in the air and exposure to ultraviolet light destroy vitamin C (be careful when cooking or freezing food). The Lepivits laboratory has designed Super C Acerola so that its vitamin C is highly assimilable.

What is a vitamin C cure for?

The primary role of vitamin C is certainly its "cellular antioxidant" action, with the neutralization of free radicals released during oxidative stress. It plays a role in the recycling of vitamin E and the biosynthesis of collagen. It is also involved in the psychic balance (synthesis of neurotransmitters) and facilitates the absorption of vegetable iron (non-heme).

** Only L-ascorbic acid is biologically active. The latter is found in the dextrogyre form which is identical to the natural shape (power of rotation to the right with an angle greater than 20 °). The latter is the only molecule that can be assimilated by the organism.
