This dietary supplement delivers 500 mg of vitamin C as Ultrasorb-C™, a powerful, patented form of the vitamin that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body - yet is gentle to the digestive system.
Vitamin C helps keep the immune system strong and vital. It is also important to the development and repair of all bodily tissues, the healing wounds and the repair of cartilage, bones and teeth. Vitamin C contributes to the production of collagen, the main protein found in connective tissue that gives skin structural support and helps maintain the healthy ligaments, tendons and blood vessels.
Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radicals, unstable molecules that attack healthy cells. As such, the antioxidant properties in vitamin C help enhance skin, heart and vision health. As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C is not stored in the body and therefore must be regularly replaced through diet or supplementation.
Smart Basics Ultrasorb-C also includes 50 mg of calcium to help further ensure ease and comfort within the stomach upon ingestion.
