HOW IT WORKS: Protocol for Life BalanceTM ProtoSorbTM C is a trademarked formulation containing the Vitamin C metabolite and Threonic Acid which has been shown to enhance uptake of Vitamin C.  This buffered, non-acidic Vitamin C supplement is superior as it also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant known to help regenerate both Vitamin C and glutathione in the body.  The addition of Bioflavonoids as synergists helps to create a well-absorbed, highly effective Vitamin C supplement.  Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may enhance the body's utilization of Vitamin C, especially by activating uptake into cells via the glucose transport pathways.  These ingredients work cooperatively with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10.*   Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, a structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone.  Vitamin C also is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and of L-carnitine, which is required for the transport of fats into the mitochondria of cells.* Natural color variations may occur in this product.
