Healthspan's Vitamin C Sustained Release ensure that the body receives a steady supply of vitamin C throughout the day to help provide protection from colds and flu. It also includes Zinc for an extra immunity boost.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that plays an important role in maintaining the health of our cells, blood vessels and resistance to infection. It is also a powerful antioxidant. Because Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it is not stored in the body for very long. This means that a regular intake is needed to keep the levels topped up. Pollution, stress, smoking, drinking tea and coffee and a high intake of other fluids all deplete our body's Vitamin C reserves.
Healthspan's Sustained Release Vitamin C is made using a special manufacturing process that 'meshes' the vitamin with a plant cellulose, protecting it from fast disintegration. Over a period of time the cellulose breaks down, releasing the Vitamin C gradually to the body. Zinc is added for an extra immune system boost.
