Description

Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of ascorbic acid that exerts the antioxidant activity characteristic of vitamin C on lipids throughout the body. In vitro studies have shown that ascorbyl palmitate may be more effective as an antioxidant in protecting lipids from peroxidation than water-soluble vitamin C.

Benefits and features

• One of vitamin C's most important properties is the part it plays in the production of collagen in the body.
• Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that destroys free radicals that can severely damage body cells.
• Vitamin C is important in the production of carnetine which is needed by the body to transport fat to the cellular mitochondria to be converted to energy.
• Vitamin C also takes part in the biochemistry which converts cholesterol to bile acids and helps maintain a healthy level of cholesterol in the blood.
• Because it is a fat-soluble form of vitamin c, Ascorbyl Palmitate is more easily absorbed by the body and can be stored in the membranes of the cells until needed.
