Certified for Sport.
Thorne's ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is NSF Certified for Sport. Most people are
aware that vitamin C promotes healthy immune function. But vitamin C also has
several additional mechanisms of action. For example, it's an essential
nutrient for promoting wound healing and supporting injury repair. Vitamin C
also plays a role in liver detoxification and helps protect against the toxic
effects of heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, and cadmium. Thorne's Ascorbic
Acid contains only crystalline vitamin C – with no added corn starch,
magnesium stearate, or other lubricants and diluents – to ensure optimal
absorption and efficacy.
The combined positive effects of vitamin C on collagen synthesis, antioxidant
status, and immune function make it an important nutrient for surgery patients
and for supporting wound healing. Vitamin C is necessary for the proper action
of those enzymes involved in phase I liver detoxification. In addition, as an
antioxidant, vitamin C helps quench the free-radical intermediates that are
created during this first phase of the detoxification of harmful substances in
the liver. Furthermore, vitamin C helps increase the level of the important
antioxidant glutathione by increasing glutathione's rate of synthesis, which
enhances the liver's phase II detoxification.
Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy
and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested
for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200
substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants,
narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agents, and masking agents.
