Free radicals are molecules which are produced through normal metabolic processes in the body, or by environmental exposures such as smoke, pollution, and radiation.* [
1] One of the leading causes of cellular breakdown is free radical damage causing oxidative stress and antioxidants are crucial to help protect against these deleterious effects.* [
1] Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant and its supplementation is effective in maintaining immune function [
3,
4] and healthy skin,[
5] in connective tissue formation,[
6] and in the development of bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums.* [
1] In addition, citrus bioflavonoids derived from citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are potent antioxidants and in combination with vitamin C can help mitigate oxidative stress.*
Ascorbates SAP is designed with a synergistic combination of different buffered mineral salts of ascorbic acid, zinc, selenium, and citrus bioflavonoids that can:
- Help improve antioxidants status in the body for optimal health.* [1,2]
- Support healthy immune function, improve skin health, and promote development of connective tissue, bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums.* [1,3,4,5,6]
