- Vitamin C is best known as a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals. Its role as an antioxidant has tended to obscure its other physiologic functions. This vitamin is required for the synthesis of collagen, a structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone. Vitamin C is also required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, as well as for the production of L-carnitine, which is required for the transport of fats into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation.

- Protocol for Life Balance(TM) ProtoSorb(TM) C is a patent-pending formulation containing the Vitamin C metabolite, 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. Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may enhance the body's utilization into cells via the glucose transport pathways. Either directly or indirectly, Alpha Lipoic Acid aids Vitamin C in reducing oxidized Vitamin E, hence regenerating that vitamin for its various functions. In addition, in vitro studies have indicated that Alpha Lipoic Acid helps maintain coenzyme Q10 in a reduced state. The addition of Bioflavonoids as synergists helps to create a well-absorbed, highly effective Vitamin C supplement.
