Product Description
Endurance athletes, especially runners, show up in iron-deficiency screenings far more often than the general population, and low iron shows up as flat, sluggish training long before it shows up on a blood test. Vitamin C is one of the most well-established nutrients for helping your body actually absorb the iron you eat.
Ascorbyl Palmitate from Pure Encapsulations delivers vitamin C in a fat-soluble form that settles into cell membranes instead of just passing through your bloodstream, supporting iron absorption, collagen production, and immune defense from within the cell itself.
Helps your body actually use the iron you eat – Vitamin C supports iron absorption, one of the most well-established nutrient pairings for anyone managing the low iron stores common in endurance training.
Stays working longer – Because it's fat-soluble, ascorbyl palmitate integrates into cell membranes instead of passing through quickly, giving it staying power water-soluble vitamin C doesn't have.
Backs collagen production – Vitamin C is essential for collagen formation, the structural protein behind tendons, ligaments, and skin.
Ascorbyl palmitate is vitamin C bonded to a fatty acid, which lets it enter the lipid layer of cell membranes in a way water-soluble ascorbic acid can't. From there it works as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, supports mast cell function and lymphocyte formation as part of your immune response, and helps your body form red blood cells by improving iron absorption. It's derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil, in a vegan, vegetarian capsule.
How To Use Ascorbyl Palmitate
Dose: Take 1 capsule, 1-2 times daily, with meals.
Pairing with an iron supplement or iron-rich meal: Take it alongside iron-containing foods or supplements specifically to help your body absorb more of that iron, since that's one of vitamin C's most well-established roles.
