Ascorbyl Palmitate is a highly bioavailable,
fat-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid.* Various Physiological Support Properties:
Ascorbyl palmitate possesses all the benefits of vitamin C, but unlike the
water-soluble form, is able to be stored in the lipid cell membrane until the
body is ready to put it to use. Vitamin C offers a wide range of support for the
human body. It is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger supporting
cellular and vascular health. Vitamin C has been reported to promote nitric
oxide activity as well as to help maintain healthy platelet function. It
supports the body’s defense system by enhancing white blood cell function and
activity, and increasing interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of
thymic hormones. Furthermore, this antioxidant has histamine lowering properties
and increases lymphocyte formation. It is also essential for the formation and
maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen, important for joint
health. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood
cells and converts folic acid to its active forms.* Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose
fermentation and palm oil. Pure Encapsulations recommends 1-2 capsules per
day, with meals. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. People with the following conditions should consult
their doctor before supplementing with vitamin C: glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase deficiency, iron overload (hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis),
history of kidney stones, or kidney failure. It has been suggested that people
who form calcium oxalate kidney stones should avoid vitamin C supplements
because vitamin C can convert into oxalate and increase urinary oxalate. Consult
your physician for more information. Ascorbyl palmitate may react with mixed
amphetamines (a specific amphetamine combination used to treat narcolepsy and
attention deficit disorder) and blood thinning medications. Consult your
physician for more information. Perricone N et al. The hydroxyl free radical reactions of
