LIFE EXTENSION Ascorbyl Palmitate (Oxidative stress) 100 Vegetarian Capsules

 

• Fat-soluble vitamin C
• It reaches the areas of tissue that ascorbic acid cannot

Getting enough vitamin C is important to your overall health. Maintaining optimal vitamin C levels can help promote longevity. This form of vitamin C can cross cell membranes and other biological barriers, delivering free radical scavenging ascorbic acid to regions otherwise unattainable.


Maintains optimal levels of circulating ascorbic acid longer than regular ascorbic acid
Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) is an ester made from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid to form a form of vitamin C that is fat soluble, meaning it can interact with lipid-based molecules. Unlike naturally occurring vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is highly water-soluble, ascorbyl palmitate can penetrate cell membranes and other biological barriers. This feature gives it special applications for delivering free radical scavenging ascorbic acid to otherwise inaccessible parts of the body.


Ascorbyl Palmitate has been shown to help inhibit lipid oxidative stress and protect red blood cells, endothelial cells, and the brain and nervous tissue from free radicals. Scientific evidence suggests that ascorbyl palmitate can maintain high levels of circulating ascorbic acid longer than regular ascorbic acid. It also helps maintain intracellular ascorbic acid levels and has a greater ability to inhibit oxidative stress and free radical damage to lipids and DNA, and inhibit protein glycation in human cells compared to ascorbic acid.

Ascorbic acid is 40% by weight of the ascorbyl palmitate molecule; however, the activity of ascorbyl palmitate cannot readily be compared with that of ascorbic acid as the two molecules have different actions in the body.
