Supports the normal function of the immune system
Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system both under normal physiological conditions and during and after intense physical exercise (with an additional intake of at least 200 mg/day beyond the recommended daily intake).

Numerous studies have shown that an adequate vitamin status contributes to the proper functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells, promoting the body's response to environmental and oxidative stress.

Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

Ascorbic acid is one of the body's main water-soluble antioxidants. It neutralizes free radicals, regenerates oxidized vitamin E, and contributes to the protection of cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidative processes associated with cellular aging and exposure to environmental factors.

Numerous systematic reviews have highlighted the role of vitamin C in reducing oxidative stress involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Promotes the normal formation of collagen

Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the physiological function of:
• skin
• cartilage
• bones
• gums
• teeth
• blood vessels

Ascorbic acid is in fact an essential cofactor of the enzymes prolyl-hydroxylase and lysyl-hydroxylase, indispensable for the maturation of collagen fibers.
For this reason, an adequate intake is particularly interesting during aging, in athletes, in smokers, and in subjects with increased connective tissue turnover.

Supports energy metabolism
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Several observational studies show how low plasma levels of vitamin C are frequently associated with an increased feeling of physical and mental fatigue.

Supports the nervous system and cognitive functions

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.
In the central nervous system, it participates in the synthesis of important neurotransmitters, including dopamine and noradrenaline, and protects nervous tissue from oxidative stress.

Recent studies suggest that an adequate vitamin status may contribute to the maintenance of cognitive function during aging.

Promotes iron absorption

Vitamin C increases the absorption of non-heme iron contained in plant foods by transforming it into the most easily assimilable form.

For this reason, it represents a particularly useful nutritional support in subjects who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or in case of increased iron requirements.

Contributes to the regeneration of vitamin E

Vitamin C contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, creating an antioxidant synergy essential for the protection of lipid-rich cell membranes.

What is OR Vitamin C Ascorbate used for?
OR Vitamin C Ascorbate provides vitamin C in the form of Sodium L-Ascorbate, a buffered form characterized by high bioavailability and excellent gastrointestinal tolerance. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the normal formation of collagen, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal energy metabolism.

What is the difference between Sodium L-Ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid?
Sodium L-Ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C with a less acidic pH compared to ascorbic acid. It maintains the same physiological functions as vitamin C while generally being gentler on the stomach, especially in sensitive individuals.

Why choose a buffered vitamin C?
The buffered form allows vitamin C to be taken with high gastrointestinal tolerance, making it particularly suitable for those who want a daily supplement without the typical acidity of ascorbic acid.

Does OR Vitamin C Ascorbate help the immune system?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of its normal function even during and after intense physical exercise, when taken in the quantities specified by European regulations.

Does vitamin C contribute to collagen formation?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the physiological function of the skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth, and blood vessels.

Does vitamin C promote iron absorption?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to increasing the absorption of dietary iron, providing valuable support especially for people with an increased need for this mineral.

Is this product suitable for those with a sensitive stomach?
Yes. Thanks to the presence of Sodium L-Ascorbate, OR Vitamin C Ascorbate has a less acidic pH compared to traditional vitamin C and is generally better tolerated by the stomach.

Does the product contain gluten or ingredients of animal origin?
No. OR Vitamin C Ascorbate is gluten-free and is also suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

How do you take OR Vitamin C Ascorbate?
Being a completely water-soluble powder, it can be easily dissolved in water, juices, or other beverages, allowing you to customize its intake according to your needs and following the directions on the label.

Can OR Vitamin C Ascorbate be taken all year round?
Yes. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that can be supplemented throughout the year as part of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet, following the recommended directions for use.

Is it suitable for athletes?
Yes. Intense physical activity can increase the production of free radicals. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal energy metabolism, and the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise.

Can OR Vitamin C Ascorbate be combined with other Moltitudo supplements?
Yes. Thanks to its high purity and versatility, it can be included in supplementation programs dedicated to overall well-being, immune support, skin health, collagen formation, cardiovascular well-being, and protection from oxidative stress, according to individual needs.
