Vitamin C6-Calcium Isoascorbate
Calcium Isoascorbate,
or Vitamin C6, is one of 6 stable esters of Vitamin C, or
Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbic acid is chemically related to sugars
and is indispensable for maintaining connective tissue, blood
vessels, and the immune system. Ascorbic acid is a central
component to healthy bones, skin, teeth, gums, and eyes. For
lowering cholesterol, repairing wounds, producing new cells,
and absorbing iron into the body, Ascorbic acid is fundamental.
Ascorbic acid is hailed
for its ability to slow the signs of aging and promote healthy
skin, probably due to its deep connection to collagen production.
Both the skin and the hair are protected from damage because
of Ascorbic acid.
There are 6 stable
esters of vitamin C, all of which are absorbed differently yet
are useful in the body in their own way. These include: Vitamin
C1-Ascorbic Acid, VItamin C2-Dehyroascorbic Acid, Vitamin C3-Ascorbyl
Palmitate, VItamin C4-Calcium Ascorbate, Vitamin C5-Isoascorbic
Acid, Vitamin C6-Calcium Isoascorbate, and lastly, Ascorbign,
or provitamin C (the direct precursor of ascorbic acid) is also
useful and appears to potentiate, if not accelerate, vitamin
C activity.
