What Vitamin C Is 

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant essential for collagen formation, immune function, and protection against oxidative stress. It also supports normal energy metabolism and helps regenerate other antioxidants. 

Why Vitamin C Is Included in Apexx01 

Vitamin C contributes to several EFSA-authorised functions that align with immune function, metabolic balance, and connective tissue maintenance. 

It contributes to: 

  • normal function of the immune system 

  • normal collagen formation 

  • protection of cells from oxidative stress 

  • normal energy-yielding metabolism 

  • reduction of tiredness and fatigue 

  • normal psychological function 

  • increased iron absorption 

Vitamin C forms a core structural component of the protocol. 

Why This Form: L-Ascorbic Acid 

L-ascorbic acid is used because: 

  • it is the pure physiological form found in nature 

  • it integrates cleanly with flavonoids and antioxidants 

  • it dissolves consistently in water 

  • it passes third-party testing with clarity 

It is the most efficient and predictable form for a multi-nutrient daily formula. 

Why This Dose: 160 mg 

The dose is selected to: 

  • support immune function 

  • reinforce antioxidant pathways 

  • complement citrus bioflavonoids 

  • maintain synergy with collagen-related ingredients 

This level provides meaningful support while remaining suitable for daily long-term use.
