Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that must be replenished daily. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being, especially during times of fatigue, stress, or seasonal immune challenges.

The formula contains multiple sources of vitamin C, including natural rosehip extract and calcium ascorbate – a buffered form of vitamin C that is gentler on the stomach.

In addition, the formula includes glycine, a conditionally essential amino acid that supports collagen synthesis, antioxidant activity, and detoxification processes. Glycine also complements the role of vitamin C in maintaining healthy connective tissue and promoting recovery.

Vitamin C + XBi-A® may be beneficial for:

• low-calorie diets, mono-diets, diets with low micronutrient content, eating disorders;
• residents of regions where there are interruptions in the supply of fresh vegetables and fruits are also at risk of vitamin deficiency;
• smoking;
• regular alcohol consumption accelerates the excretion of vitamin C;
• prone to colds;
• administration of some medicines;
• gastrointestinal diseases: gastric and duodenal ulcers, constipation or diarrhoea, worm infestations, and giardiasis reduce the absorption of ascorbate from the intestine.

Vitamin C + XBi-A^® contributes to:

• normal functioning of the immune system;
• the protection of cells against oxidative stress;
• normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth;
• normal energy-yielding mechanism;
• normal functioning of the nervous system;
• the reduction of fatigue and tiredness;
• normal psychological function;
• the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E;
• increased iron absorption.

AMPLIFIER COMPONENTS XBI-A^®:

Piperine: increases the active transport of nutrients and its bioavailability¹.

Amla: helps the digestive tract to absorb food, vitamins and trace elements properly^2,3.

Ginger root extract: regulate bowel function, facilitating absorption¹.

Fulvic acid: reacts with mineral molecules and breaks them down into bioavailable substances in the form of ions, which easily penetrate cell membranes⁴.

Zinc contributes to:

• normal functioning of the immune system;
• the protection of cells against oxidative stress;
• normal DNA synthesis;
• normal acid-base metabolism;
• normal cognitive function;
• normal macronutrient metabolism;
• normal metabolism of fatty acids;
• normal metabolism of vitamin A;
• normal fertility and reproduction;
• maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood;
• maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails and skin;
• maintenance of normal vision.

Zinc has a role in the process of cell division.
