C-Plex Powder, provided by Douglas Laboratories, contains pure, hypoallergenic vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) as buffered mineral ascorbates of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, manganese and chromium. Selenium and citrus bioflavonoid complex are also included. The nutrients are provided in a pleasant-tasting, orange flavored base, naturally sweetened with fructose.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological functions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are the building materials of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone. Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of enzymes that catalyze the cross-linking of collagen fibers – lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases. As such, vitamin C is essential for normal wound healing and capillary health.*
Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans and animals. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources, such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, but when an excessive number of free radicals are formed they can attack healthy cells, especially their membrane lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to contribute to a number of degenerative diseases.*
Vitamin C in the form of free ascorbic acid can sometimes lead to stomach upset in people who are sensitive to acidic foods. C-Plex Powder contains buffered mineral ascorbates to help minimize stomach irritation that can result from free ascorbic acid ingestion. C-Plex Powder also provides a number of minerals and trace elements that are often low in today’s diets.*
