Vitamin C Essentials contains 5 different forms of vitamin C in high doses in one capsule. The Acerola extract is rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which prevent breakdown of vitamin C and further improve absorption. Calcium and magnesium ascorbate are deacidified forms of vitamin C and therefore less irritating to the stomach. In addition, these forms of vitamin C are very well absorbed by the body.
Vitamin C is involved in many very different, important, well-known but also less well-known processes. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and supports the body's defences. It provides extra resistance during and after physical exertion*, during and after training/sports (performance)* and in a cold environment.*

Vitamin C also acts as an anti-oxidant for vitamin E and returns it to an active form.
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helps to release energy from food (fat, carbohydrates and proteins) and plays a role in the activity of certain enzymes involved in energy metabolism. Vitamin C helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue and can help reduce a lack of energy.
Less well known is that vitamin C contributes to normal psychological function, such as mental exertion and mental energy. Vitamin C is good for state of mind and memory. It also contributes to (brain and nerve functions involved in) concentration, learning ability and reasoning.
