Vitamin C

The Premium Antioxidant for Immunity & Energy

Vitamin C is one of the body's most essential nutrients, acting as a powerful antioxidant and a crucial supporter of your immune system. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. While found in fruits and vegetables, daily intake can vary, and your needs increase during periods of stress or intense training.

ProteinHype's PureC Boost + is designed differently. It's not just synthetic ascorbic acid; it's a gentle, food-form Vitamin C derived from fruits and herbs. This premium approach ensures you get the immune and antioxidant support you need in a form that's easy on your stomach and highly usable by your body.

For those seeking the absolute pinnacle of absorption and bioavailability, we now introduce LipoVita C+. This advanced liposomal liquid uses phospholipid technology to shield Vitamin C from stomach acid, delivering it directly into your bloodstream. Enhanced with rosehip and bilberry, it's the ultimate choice for maximum delivery without digestive discomfort.

Who Needs a Vitamin C Supplement?

A Vitamin C supplement is beneficial for almost everyone, but it's especially useful for:

• Active individuals & athletes under physical stress.

• Those with busy or demanding lifestyles where diet may not be perfect.

• Anyone looking to proactively support their immune system year-round.

• People who don't regularly consume several servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.

• Bioavailability seekers who want the most advanced delivery system available.

If you're looking for a foundational health supplement with proven benefits, Vitamin C is one of the best places to start.

When to Take Vitamin C

PureC Boost + — Take daily with a glass of water. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so your body uses what it needs and excretes the rest. Taking it with a meal can help with absorption and is gentler on the stomach.

LipoVita C+ — Take 5ml (1 teaspoon) daily. Can be taken directly or mixed with water, juice, or your favourite smoothie. The liposomal technology already protects the vitamin, so it's effective with or without food.

Consistency is key. Making it part of your morning or evening routine ensures you maintain optimal levels to support your daily health.

Vitamin C Benefits

Supports Normal Immune Function

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Both PureC Boost + and LipoVita C+ provide a reliable daily dose to help maintain your body's natural defences, particularly important during seasonal changes or periods of heavy training.

Helps Reduce Tiredness & Fatigue

Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. By supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism, it can help you maintain vitality throughout a busy day or recover better after exercise.

Protects Cells from Oxidative Stress

As a potent antioxidant, Vitamin C helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals generated through everyday metabolism, stress, and exercise. This contributes to overall cellular health.

Gentle, Food-Form Formula (PureC Boost +)

PureC Boost + uses Vitamin C sourced from fruits and herbs. This "food-form" approach, as opposed to purely synthetic ascorbic acid, is often gentler on the digestive system and is how the vitamin is naturally packaged in whole foods.

Superior Absorption & Stomach Comfort (LipoVita C+)

LipoVita C+ takes Vitamin C delivery to the next level. Liposomal phospholipid bubbles protect the vitamin from harsh stomach acid, ensuring maximum absorption into the bloodstream. Added rosehip and bilberry provide complementary antioxidant support.

Vitamin C FAQs

What is Vitamin C and why is it important?

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant. It's crucial for immune system function, collagen synthesis (for skin, bones, and joints), enhancing iron absorption, and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Your body cannot produce or store it, so a regular intake is necessary.

How is LipoVita C+ different from standard Vitamin C?

LipoVita C+ uses advanced liposomal delivery — tiny phospholipid bubbles that protect Vitamin C from stomach acid and transport it directly into your bloodstream. This results in superior absorption and bioavailability compared to standard tablets or powders. It also contains added rosehip and bilberry, and is naturally orange-flavoured.

How is PureC Boost + different from standard Vitamin C?

Many standard supplements use purely synthetic ascorbic acid. PureC Boost + is made with Vitamin C derived from fruits and herbs. This "food-form" vitamin is combined with natural co-factors, which may improve its utilisation in the body and is often better tolerated by those with sensitive stomachs.

How much Vitamin C should I take daily?

The UK Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for Vitamin C is 80mg per day for adults. PureC Boost + provides a higher, effective dose to account for increased needs due to activity, stress, or to simply ensure optimal levels. LipoVita C+ provides 500mg (625% NRV) per serving in a highly absorbable liposomal format. Always follow the serving size on the label.

Can I take Vitamin C with other supplements?

Yes, Vitamin C pairs well with many other supplements. It is commonly taken with Zinc for enhanced immune support and with Iron supplements, as Vitamin C significantly improves the absorption of non-heme (plant-based) iron. It's a great addition to your daily multivitamin or wellness stack.

Is it safe to take every day?

Yes, Vitamin C is safe for daily use. Because it is water-soluble, any excess is typically excreted in urine. Consistent daily intake is the best way to maintain steady, supportive levels in your body.

What are the signs of low Vitamin C?

Prolonged, severe deficiency causes scurvy, which is rare. More common signs of sub-optimal intake can include feeling overly tired, frequent infections, slow wound healing, dry skin, and easy bruising.

Are there any side effects?

Vitamin C is very safe. At very high doses (typically over 2000mg per day), some people may experience mild digestive upset, such as diarrhoea or stomach cramps. LipoVita C+ uses liposomal technology to minimise this risk, and PureC Boost + uses a gentle food-form source with a sensible dose.
