Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential micronutrient for the immune system, collagen formation, iron absorption, and antioxidant protection. Not all forms are absorbed equally: here's why sustained-release vitamin C is one of the most effective options for maintaining stable levels throughout the day.
How does vitamin C work in the body?
Immune support: contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the production of white blood cells.
Antioxidant power: helps protect cells against oxidative damage.
Collagen production: essential for skin, joints, gums and blood vessels.
Improves iron absorption: especially of non-heme iron from plant sources.
Why choose sustained-release vitamin C?
Vitamin C is water-soluble, so the body doesn't store it. A high dose taken all at once is only used for a few hours, while the rest is eliminated. This limits its effectiveness when taken in a conventional form.
In contrast, Teresa Pons' sustained-release Vitamin C offers a gradual release that allows:
- Maintain constant levels throughout the day.
- Optimize absorption and reduce waste.
- Avoid sudden peaks and drops in concentration.
- Greater digestive ease, ideal for sensitive people.
Who is it recommended for?
- People with low immunity or prone to infections.
- Situations of physical or emotional stress, which increase the demand for vitamin C.
- Smokers or people exposed to pollution.
- Those who wish to improve skin tone and elasticity.
- Diets low in fresh fruits and vegetables.
