THORNE Ascorbic Acid ( Vitamin C) 250 Vegetarian capsules

Thorne Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is NSF Certified for Sport®. Most people are aware that vitamin C promotes healthy immune function. But vitamin C also has several additional mechanisms of action. For example, it is an essential nutrient to promote wound healing and support injury repair. Vitamin C also plays a role in liver detoxification and helps protect against the toxic effects of heavy metals such as lead, aluminum and cadmium. Thorne ascorbic acid contains only crystalline vitamin C - without the addition of corn starch, magnesium stearate or other lubricants and diluents - to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.


The combined positive effect of vitamin C on collagen synthesis, antioxidant status and immune function makes it an important nutrient for patients after surgery and supporting wound healing. Vitamin C is necessary for the proper functioning of the enzymes involved in liver detoxification in phase I. In addition, as an antioxidant, vitamin C helps cool free radicals that are formed during the first phase of detoxification of harmful substances in the liver. In addition, vitamin C helps increase the levels of the important antioxidant glutathione by increasing the rate of glutathione synthesis, which increases detoxification in phase II of the liver.
