Active-C Caps

Active C is a synergistic vit C formulation featuring a proprietary, lipid-soluble form of vit C called PureWay-C®. The ingredient is backed by multiple peer-reviewed research studies showing superiority over many other popular forms of vit C, including ascorbic acid and ascorbate based formulas including the popular leading ascorbate Ester-C® brand.In addition to vitamin C, the formula also includes a proprietary blend of key citrus bioflavonoids, another powerful antioxidant and superfood powders that work alongside vitamin C to increase its absorption and supply additional health benefits in the body. Since it’s absorbed more rapidly and efficiently, users should experience faster relief and require fewer pills compared to other vit c formulations. Due to its numerous health benefits and wide ranging applications, this formula is a great candidate for use as a foundational product to take daily for overall wellness support. The powder is water-soluble so the capsule can be twisted apart and placed in a beverage for those who cannot swallow pills.

Pureway Vitamin C Research Highlights

• All comparative research studies in vitro and in humans demonstrate highest absorption and uptake rates of all the forms of vitamin C tested including ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate and the leading ascorbate brand Ester-C®
• 2.3x higher retention by the human body than any other ascorbate brands, including Ester-C®
• Demonstrated the highest serum vitamin C absorption levels at all times tested throughout a 24 hour period (1, 2, 4, 6, 24 hrs), than all other forms tested,  including a 28% better absorption 2 hrs post administration compared to Ester-C®, the 2nd best absorbed form
• 12x more effective in supporting nerve regeneration & stimulating healthy neuron production as well as 3x better at promoting wound healing more rapidly compared to ascorbate based vit C
• Reduced pesticide-mediated immune dysfunction by 83% within 30 minutes of treatment compared to only 33% seen with Ester-C®
• 12% higher ORAC antioxidant activity & >10% better in quenching free radicals compared to Ester-C®
• Does not appear to raise urine uric acid and oxalate levels based on the studies and therefore not be a concern for kidney stones if higher doses are used.
• Outperformed all other forms of vitamin C in reducing circulating levels of oxidized LDL levels & CRP levels, showcasing its ability to protect tissues and reduce inflammation
• Taken together, the data showed that PureWay-C® is better absorbed, persists longer in the body after absorption, is more effective as an antioxidant and is superior in reducing circulating inflammatory markers compared to all other forms that were tested
