Description:
Hypoaller-C®, provided by Douglas Laboratories®,contains corn-free vitamin C, specially buffered withcalcium, magnesium, and potassium. Hypoaller-C isavailable in either tablet or powder form.
Health Functions:
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biologicalfunctions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesisof collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are thebuilding materials of all connective tissues, such asskin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone.Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groupsof enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of collagenfibers, lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases.As such, vitamin C is essential for normal woundhealing and capillary health.Vitamin C participates in the biosynthesis ofcarnitine, serotonin, and certain neurotransmitters,including norepinephrine. Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidantsin humans and animals. It is a water-soluble, chainbreakingantioxidant that reacts directly withsuperoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen.Laboratory studies show that vitamin C completelyprotects lipids in plasma and low-density lipoprotein(LDL) against atherogenic peroxidative damage. Inaddition, vitamin C interacts with glutathione andalpha-lipoic acid, and regenerates vitamin E.The antioxidant functions of vitamin C appear tohave clinical significance in providing protectionfrom free radical damage to the eyes, lungs, bloodand the immune system. Vitamin C is absorbed in the small intestine by asodium-dependent transport process that is intakedependent.At normal dietary intakes of 60 to 100mg, up to 80 or 90% of the vitamin C is absorbed. Athigher intakes, absorption becomes less efficient.Absorption efficiency and vitamin C utilization maybe greatly enhanced during conditions ofphysiological stress, such as trauma or infection.Maximal absorption is attained by the ingestion ofseveral doses spaced throughout the day rather thanin one, larger dose.
