5 naturally-chelated mineral ascorbates.
Fat-soluble Vitamin C for more complete usage in the body.
It's the next best thing to nature.
Naturally buffered, gentler Vitamin C that won't upset your system.
In nature, Vitamin C appears in many forms, always accompanied by other compounds. While we can't reinvent nature's simple elegance, PIONEER Vitamin C Complex contains 8 different forms of Vitamin C that come as close to the broad array of natural Vitamin C forms as possible.We use the same forms of Vitamin C examined in numerous scientific studies showing the powerfully therapeutic effects of the vitamin.
With eight superior forms of vitamin C plus high quality
citrus bioflavonoids, PIONEER Vitamin C Complex is perhaps
the most comprehensive vitamin C formula ever devised.
Most animals on earth are able to synthesize their own supply
of vitamin C, but humans must rely on dietary sources to
obtain this key nutrient. An important antioxidant in lung and
other tissues, vitamin C is required for a host of biochemical
activities including collagen synthesis and wound healing.
CONSIDER THESE ADVANTAGES:
1. Eight Sources to Maximize Bioavailability. In
the natural world, vitamin C is found in many different forms,
always accompanied by other compounds.While we can’t
reinvent nature’s simple elegance, PIONEER Vitamin C Complex
comes close by providing eight different forms of vitamin C.
These include five fully-chelated mineral ascorbates, fat-soluble
ascorbyl palmitate, Amla (Indian Gooseberry) and free form Lascorbic
acid. Each form respects the natural metabolism of
the body. Combined in a dietary supplement, they mirror, as
much as possible, the broad array of natural vitamin C forms.
2. Proven Effective Forms. Every year, clinical journals
publish hundreds of scientific studies examining the role of
vitamin C in humans. Nearly all of this research demonstrates
the powerful therapeutic effects of vitamin C, and uses the
same forms found in Pioneer Vitamin C Complex.
3. Essential Mineral Polyascorbates For Better
Absorption. Fully chelated, mineral ascorbates are produced
via a natural water-reaction process using pure USPgrade
ascorbic acid and minerals. These fully chelated forms
are more absorbable than the commonly used, unreacted dry
mix of ascorbic acid and mineral. Polyascorbates are nonacidic
(pH neutral) and provide additional levels of needed
minerals. The minerals we choose – calcium, magnesium, zinc,
potassium and manganese – work synergistically with vitamin
C to offer beneficial and supportive therapeutic effects.
4. Ascorbyl Palmitate: Fat-Soluble Vitamin C.
Most vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot access the lipid or
fat portions of cells and tissues. Fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate
is both recognized by and has an affinity for these areas,
notably cell membranes, and can increase vitamin C uptake in
people whose nutrient assimilation is compromised.
5. Naturally Buffered, Gentle on Digestion.
Excessive amounts of pure ascorbic acid may cause an acid
condition in the gut and lead to intestinal inflammation, gas,
loose bowels and discomfort (acid rejection syndrome).
Pioneer Vitamin C Complex is pH balanced (approximately
pH 6) and naturally buffered, eliminating digestive disturbance
in most individuals.
6. Amla: Vitamin C Strictly from Nature. In the
ancient tradition of Ayurvedic medicine, Amla (Indian
Gooseberry) is highly revered as an important general tonifying
herb, or adaptogen. Amla is also one of the richest natural
sources of vitamin C. PIONEER uses a 20:1 standardized extract,
the finest and highest guaranteed potency available.
7. 50+ Highly Active,Certified Potency Bioflavonoids.
A bioflavonoid natural extraction process from sweet and bitter
orange, lemon and grapefruit makes PIONEER’s bioflavonoid
complex the most potent (50% flavonones) and pure available
anywhere.Many other brands use diluted bioflavonoid mixes
(sometimes 1-10% flavonones) or citrus pulp, and unless stated
on the label, there is no assurance of potency. Each batch of
PIONEER is assayed for flavonone potency and purity.
8. True Full-Disclosure Labeling. All ingredients, their forms, and ratios are fully disclosed on the label of every
