PEAK vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) provides the body with a multitude of protective functions, primarily helping to boost the immune system and hormone levels. In addition, it is known to be an important co-factor when it comes to building bones and teeth, and is also beneficial in increasing fat catabolism.

These high-dose vitamin C capsules are combined with the synergistic substrate OPC (derived from grape-seed extract), which increases the antioxidant power of the formula by 400%!

What can we expect from Vitamin C?

No other vitamin has been covered by so many studies that fully account for the extraordinarily beneficial effects of vitamin C for your body and your performance. So it's wise to avoid any vitamin C deficiency. Nevertheless, researchers are still debating the perfect daily dosage. Recommendations range from 100 mg to 10,000 mg - for example, during cancer treatment - per day.

It is, however, indisputable that athletes will have a higher need for vitamin C, especially when following a special diet or engaging in similar stressful situations. A higher dosage of vitamin C will therefore help to keep your body's hormones and protective features at supreme levels.

Efficacy and field of action of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a general term for L-(+)-ascorbic acid and its derivatives. It generally appears as a white, crystalline powder, serving primarily as a vitamin (water-soluble).

A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C acts to protect human cells against free radicals. The results of numerous studies have already approved its ability to strengthen your body's protective functions - for example, against cancer and viral or bacterial diseases (influenza, etc.). It even has anti-aging qualities. After exercise, where the body is particularly vulnerable, vitamin C has been shown to be a valuable health ally.

Not only does vitamin C provide the body with protective mechanisms for good health, it is also highly beneficial to the body's hormonal system. Vitamin C slows down stress hormones and can thus pave the way for anabolic and performance-enhancing hormones such as testosterone. It is also known to have positive effects on insulin functions, controlling blood sugar levels and insulin secretion.

Vitamin C has remarkable qualities with regard to the availability of thyroid hormones. As it also has decisive functions in carnitine synthesis, it becomes clear that sufficient quantities of vitamin C are important for fat loss and why there is a clear connection between high vitamin C levels and a low BMI (body mass index) and vice versa.

Vitamin C is known for its positive influence on the composition of body substance: skin, hair, nails, teeth and bones. It's especially worth mentioning in this case vitamin C's key role in the synthesis of joint-protecting collagen as used within connective tissue.

PEAK's vitamin C formula is optimized with grape-seed extract rich in the polyphenol "oligomeric proanthocyanidin", OPC (100 mg per capsule). OPC, too, is a powerful antioxidant (4 times stronger than vitamin E) and covers a wide range of functions. OPCs are a perfect substrate for synergy with vitamin C, thanks to their antioxidant potential, and increase its bioavailability by 400%!

OPC's most important characteristics (partly in interaction with vitamin C):

• anti-inflammatory.
• enhances the functions of vitamins A and E (in addition to those of vitamin C).
• helps to exclude toxic agents.
• improves blood flow capacity.
• plays an important role in brain health (Alzheimer's disease, dotingness, Parkinson's etc.).).
• enhances mental concentration.
• acts as a natural antidepressant and may be useful for allergy sufferers.
• slows down the aging process of the skin.
• beneficial for the health of eyes, bones, cartilage, tendons and connective tissue.

The PEAK vitamin C formula is a vitamin C supplement which, unlike other vitamin C products, provides a range of functions and much greater practical value.

Directions for use

Take one capsule with sufficient water every day, preferably after training or in the evening.

If you have a sensitive stomach, you should take the capsule with a meal, to avoid problems with too much stomach acid.

However, when taken on an empty stomach, the product will develop its full potential, as the OPC synergistic substrate rapidly binds to the protein.

If your doses are high, spread them out over the course of the day.
