What is Vitamin C Pureway-C?

Vitamin C Pureway-C is a Vitamin supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of Vitamin C Pureway-C are equal. The form you choose determines how much Vitamin C Pureway-C actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. PureWay-C delivers higher and longer-lasting serum vitamin C levels compared to standard ascorbic acid, thanks to its lipid-metabolite delivery system. The lipid matrix (citrus bioflavonoids + fatty acids) facilitates cellular uptake through a different absorption mechanism than water-soluble ascorbic acid, resulting in faster onset and extended duration of tissue saturation.
