Pure Encapsulations Ascorbyl Palmitate | Vitamin C Supplement to Support Iron Absorption and Normal Immune Function* | 180 Capsules

What Are the Benefits of Ascorbyl Palmitate?

Ascorbyl palmitate contributes to the normal function of the immune system and enhances iron absorption, which supports normal red blood cell formation and energy metabolism. As a fat-soluble antioxidant, it offers protection against oxidative stress in lipid environments, complementing water-soluble vitamin C. This makes it a versatile option for comprehensive antioxidant support.*

How Does Ascorbyl Palmitate Differ from Standard Vitamin C?

Unlike ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate is fat-soluble, allowing it to work in both watery and fatty areas of the body. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with sensitive stomachs, as it is generally well tolerated. The form also provides a sustained release of vitamin C, helping to maintain consistent levels. Pure Encapsulations tests each batch for potency and purity, guaranteeing a reliable product every time.

Dosage and Safety Information

The recommended dosage is one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by your health care professional. Each bottle contains 180 capsules, providing a six-month supply at the standard dose. Ascorbyl palmitate is generally safe for most adults, but it is wise to consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ascorbyl palmitate better than regular vitamin C?

Ascorbyl palmitate offers a different absorption profile due to its fat solubility. Some studies suggest it may provide enhanced cellular uptake and antioxidant protection. However, both forms are effective for supporting immune health and iron absorption.

Can I take this on an empty stomach?

Because ascorbyl palmitate is fat-soluble, it is best absorbed when taken with food containing fats. Taking it with a meal may also help prevent any potential digestive discomfort.
