Key Synergy
Nutrients: Vitamin C, L-lysine, and Citrus Fruit Peel
Bioflavonoids.
Vitamin C is a
critical nutrient for numerous metabolic processes. It is essential
for the production of collagen, the main protein of the human body.
Vitamin C assures optimum collagen structure by assisting in the
hydroxylation of the amino acids lysine and proline to form bridges
aligning collagen fibers. In addition, vitamin C is one of the
body’s most important antioxidants and is also involved in recycling
of vitamin E, glutathione, and other cell protective molecules.
Furthermore, vitamin C participates in the breakdown of cholesterol
to bile acids, assists in the synthesis of carnitine, helps
neutralize toxins, and supports the immune system among many other
functions.
Lysine belongs to the essential amino acids which means that
the human body cannot synthesize it and it needs to be obtained from
diet. Lysine is a critical component of collagen fibers, and it is
required for proper structure and biological functions of this
important protein. It is also needed in the synthesis of carnitine
which helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned
for energy. This is especially important for heart function as fatty
acids are a primary fuel for the heart.
Citrus Fruit Peel Bioflavonoids enhance the absorption and
utilization of vitamin C. It is also a rich source of phytonutrients
with antioxidant properties and potentially other versatile health
benefits. Citrus fruit peel bioflavonoids have been extensively
researched in numerous preclinical and clinical studies.
This product contains no GMOs, and no artificially-sourced colors or
