Research-Supported Benefits:

Supports Immune Health. Vitamin C deficiency can cause impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections, and supplementing with vitamin C reduces symptoms and shortens the duration of illnesses.^{1, 2}

Supports Cellular Health. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that scavenges for free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Pro-C Complex also contains rose hips, acerola, rutin and citrus bioflavonoids that all act as antioxidants, including hesperidin, eriocitrin, naringin and narirutin.¹

Supports Skin Health. Vitamin C is essential for healthy skin, as it is needed for collagen synthesis. Collagen production starts to decline as early as age 25, leading to wrinkles and sagging or thinning skin. Vitamin C also supports skin health through its role as an antioxidant, which helps to protect against UV damage.³

Enhances Iron Absorption. Recent research concluded “Vitamin C is the only dietary constituent other than animal tissue that has been shown to promote iron absorption”. ⁴

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with powerful antioxidant properties that offers support for immune function. It also aids in wound healing, helps with collagen production and assists in the absorption of iron.
Vitamin C also supports cellular health and skin health, including boosting collagen synthesis for healthy skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, teeth and gums.
ProHealth’s Pro-C Complex™ is formulated using a unique buffered form of vitamin C with metabolites to enhance absorption, along with research-supported ingredients and dosing to address various aspects of health and longevity.
Calcium ascorbate neutralizes stomach pH to reduce stomach issues common with high vitamin C dosing. Additionally, calcium ascorbate increases absorption by 400% and remains in the body 3-4 times longer.
Acerola powder is a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants that is more absorbable compared to the synthetic form of ascorbic acid. 
Rose hips powder is a natural source of vitamin C added to support immune health. It’s also shown to support collagen synthesis and reduce oxidative stress, which is known to contribute to premature aging. 
Rutin is a powerful antioxidant that supports the body’s use of vitamin C, protects from free radical damage, offers immune system support and increases the production of collagen.
The citrus bioflavonoid complex (hesperidin, eriocitrin, naringin, narirutin) work synergistically with vitamin C to neutralize free radicals and complement the antioxidant potency. In addition they’ve also been shown to support healthy circulation, joint health and cognition.*

Reduced Stomach Discomfort. Vitamin C is naturally acidic and high doses can lead to stomach discomfort. The form used in Pro-C Complex, calcium ascorbate, creates a more neutral pH which is easier on the digestive system.

Better Absorption. ProHealth’s Pro-C Complex™ is formulated using a unique buffered form of vitamin C with metabolites to enhance absorption. It’s absorbed 400% faster than regular vitamin C and is retained by the body as much as 3x longer.

Unique Formulation. Pro-C Complex™ contains ingredients specific to supporting immune health and reducing the risk of age-related health conditions. In addition to the unique antioxidants that have been added, such as rose hips powder, we also included vitamin C from calcium ascorbate for a high-quality source and calcium from calcium ascorbate to act as a “buffer vitamin C”.
