ProtoSorb™ C is a trademarked formulation containing Transport C-PLUS® Threonic Acid, which has been shown to enhance uptake of Vitamin C.* This buffered, non-acidic Vitamin C supplement is superior because it also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant known to help regenerate both Vitamin C and glutathione in the body.* Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may further promote the bodys utilization of Vitamin C, by activating uptake into cells via the glucose transport pathways.* The addition of Bioflavonoids to this formula synergistically helps to create a well-absorbed, highly bioavailable Vitamin C supplement.* These ingredients also work cooperatively with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10.*
Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, a structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone. In addition, Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and of L-carnitine, which is required for the transport of fats into the mitochondria of cells.*
