Swanson Ascorbil Palmitato 250 mg, 120 cápsulas

What is Ascorbyl Palmitate?

Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C, in which ascorbic acid is bonded to palmitate, a saturated fatty acid. This bond allows vitamin C to be easily incorporated into cell membranes, offering unique bioavailability. Unlike conventional (water-soluble) ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate can integrate into fatty tissues, providing prolonged antioxidant protection. Swanson presents this advanced form of vitamin C in 250 mg capsules, ideal for those seeking optimal cellular support.
