Product Description
Ascorbplex 1,000 (Buffered)
Antioxidant and immune support
DESCRIPTION
Ascorbplex 1,000 (Buffered), provided by Douglas
Laboratories, contains 100% pure, corn-free vitamin
C (L-ascorbic acid), specially buffered with calcium,
magnesium, and potassium, with additional pectin
and bioflavonoid complex.
FUNCTIONS
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological
functions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of
collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are the
building materials of all connective tissues, such as
skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone.
Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of
enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of collagen
fibers - lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases.
As such, vitamin C is essential for normal wound
healing and capillary health.
Vitamin C participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine,
serotonin, and certain neurotransmitters, including
norepinephrine.
Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in
humans and animals. It is a water-soluble, chain-
breaking antioxidant that reacts directly with
superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen.
Laboratory studies show that vitamin C completely
protects lipids in plasma and low-density lipoproteins
(LDL) against atherogenic peroxidative damage. In
addition, vitamin C interacts with glutathione and alpha-
lipoic acid, and regenerates vitamin E. The antioxidant
functions of vitamin C appear to have clinical
significance in providing protection from free radical
damage to the eyes, lungs, blood and the immune
system.
Research has also demonstrated ascorbic acid’s ability
to positively affect function of the immune system by
optimizing synthesis of integral components of our
immunological defenses.
Vitamin C is absorbed in the small intestine by a
sodium-dependent transport process that is intake
dependent. At normal dietary intakes of 60 to 100 mg,
up to 80 or 90% of the vitamin C is absorbed. At
higher intakes, absorption becomes less efficient.
Absorption efficiency and vitamin C utilization may be
greatly enhanced during conditions of physiological
stress, such as trauma or infection.
INDICATIONS
Ascorbplex 1,000 (Buffered) tablets may be a useful
dietary supplement for individuals who wish to
obtain the antioxidant action of vitamin C in a
buffered mineral ascorbate form that may minimize
stomach irritation associated with the acidity of
regular vitamin C preparations.
