Ultra Potent Vitamin C 1000 is a high potency vitamin C formula from Metagenics. It has been developed to offer a way to take a high dose of vitamin C without the associated gastrointestinal upset that may be experienced with ascorbic acid. Ultra Potent Vitamin C 1000 offers vitamin C as mineral ascorbates, including calcium, magnesium and potassium ascorbate. These buffered forms help to prevent GI upset, meaning you can safely take this 1000mg dose wihtout worrying about unpleasant side effects.

Ultra Potent C 1000 also provides a metabolite support system, including cysteine, glutathione and a citrus bioflavonoid complex which has been added to the formula. Preliminary scientific research suggesting that this proprietary blend of metabolites may enhance the bioavailability of the formulation meaning your body can absorb more vitamin C and it is more readily available for the body to use.

Bioflavonoids included in the citrus bioflavonoid complex have demonstrated potent activity in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can occur when free radicals damage cells and this can lead to premature ageing. Bioflavonoids are also known to potentiate the antioxidant activity of vitamin C.
