The Active Ingredient Is: Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate)

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that helps with normal antioxidant protection in the body. This form, ascorbyl palmitate, is fat soluble and lipophilic, helping it incorporate into cell membranes for broader protection of both water and fat compartments.

This amphipathic form is described as allowing interaction with membranes, helping stability and potential cellular defence mechanisms. This formulation highlights its dual solubility which may help integration into membrane structures.

What Does Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate) Do?

Vitamin C participates in normal physiological antioxidant processes and supports the body’s defences against oxidative stress, in line with EFSA and NHS guidance. Scientific research suggests this fat‑soluble form can protect red blood cells from oxidative damage when integrated into membranes.

Scientific research from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University suggests that ascorbyl palmitate contributes to membrane protection by safeguarding an important fat‑soluble antioxidant from oxidation.
