Active Compound Sustained-release (gastro-retentive) vitamin C (ascorbic acid) granules.

Benefits

Immune support

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and is studied for modestly reducing the duration of the common cold.

Antioxidant protection

Vitamin C is a key water-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and regenerates other antioxidants.

Better tolerance and steadier levels

C-Fence's sustained release is designed to maintain vitamin C levels through the day and reduce the digestive upset of high-dose plain vitamin C.

Mechanism of action

1

Sustained absorption

Gradual release keeps blood vitamin C steadier and reduces the spillover and gut irritation seen with large immediate-release doses.

2

Antioxidant and immune roles

Vitamin C donates electrons to neutralize free radicals and supports the function of immune cells and collagen formation.
