Why Do We Need Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is considered an essential vitamin to the body needed for normal growth and development. Vitamin C also plays a crucial role in healing; however, the human body does not make Vitamin C on its own. Your body does not even store Vitamin C; therefore, it is essential that you are getting a good source of Vitamin C regularly through diet and supplementation as most people do not consume enough Vitamin C in diet alone.

What Does Vitamin C Do for the Body?

Vitamin C has multiple benefits for the body but the most important are:

• Immune Function Support- Especially During the Current Pandemic with COVID-19
• Antioxidant Support
• Cardiovascular Health
• Connective Tissue Support
  • Skin Maintenance
  • Gum Support
  • Joint Support
  • Ligament Support

What Vitamin C Supplement Does Pharmacy Solutions Recommend?

Looking for a good quality Vitamin C supplement can be confusing and high doses of Vitamin C can cause some unwanted side effects like diarrhea, upset stomach, and gastrointestinal distress.

Pharmacy Solutions recommends choosing a Buffered Vitamin C to get the maximum absorption without the unwanted side effects.

What does “Buffered” Vitamin C mean?

• Buffered Vitamin C combines a highly absorbable form of vitamin C together with the buffering minerals of magnesium, potassium and calcium which allows a higher dosage without stomach upset while supporting proper muscle relaxation and contraction.

Our buffered Ultra Potent-C formula is a high dose Vitamin C and it is blended with “metabolites” that increases the functional activity of the Vitamin C which helps slow the breakdown, which then neutralizes the acidity meaning it will RARELY upset the stomach and the GI tract, which of course makes this specific Vitamin C, suitable for many people.

Most Vitamin C supplements come in a form known as Ascorbic Acid that SUPRESSES the activity the first 4 hours of taking it. A supplement such as Ultra Potent-C ensures allows you to get the most absorption without suppressing your immune system after ingestion. Ready to start your supplementation?
