Vitamin C 250 mg as Pureway - 120 Capsules

Product Overview


Vitamin C, lipid metabolites and citrus bioflavonoids combine to form Pureway C® - a superior delivery technology.


High Bioavailability: More rapidly absorbed (233% higher) and highly retained by the body than other forms of Vitamin C.


PureWay-C® is different than other forms of vitamin C because it includes naturally derived lipid metabolites and citrus bioflavonoids to enhance the uptake and distribution of ascorbic acid. The lipid metabolites are derived from safe plant sources, and mixed with vitamin C during the manufacturing process.


In PureWay-C®, fatty acids act as ascorbic acid carriers to increase absorption and distribution of Vitamin C and to allow ascorbic acid to enter cells in a safe, quick and effective manner. Citrus bioflavonoids protect the vitamin C from oxidizers and contribute to the antioxidant capability of PureWay-C®.


Clinically Proven: Documented with research studies comparing it also with other Vitamin C forms.


Research conducted at Adelphi University (New York), compared cellular uptake of several forms of vitamin C and found that two hours after treatment with the vitamin, human T-lymphocyte treated with PureWay-C® contained higher vitamin C level than

any other treatment group evaluated (1).




A study conducted by researchers from the University of Miami School of Medicine found that the average serum vitamin C level was higher in the group taking PureWay-C® for a 24 hour period following intake.(2)


Efficacy: PureWay-C® outperforms other forms of Vitamin C in key metabolic functions where Vitamin C is known to play a role, as well as in antioxidant activity (3).


Better Tolerated than other forms:


PureWay-C® has not been associated with any of the adverse effects that may occur when taking high dosages of other forms of vitamin C. Stomach upset and any other adverse effects where not observed during the clinical studies with PureWay-C®. Moreover, a survey was conducted and participants completed a symptom check-list. Neither, nausea, heartburn, epigastric pain, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nor any other

adverse symptoms were reported.
