The Fast Action formula is not just ascorbic acid in tablet form. It is a composition where vitamin C is accompanied by plant extracts in their natural form, acerola and camu camu, along with bioflavonoids from orange and black pepper extract. The pack of 30 tablets is one month's size, so it suits anyone who wants to try the formula or keep it for specific periods of the year.
The reason this category exists is practical. Many consumers are looking for vitamin C that does not come exclusively from synthetic ascorbic acid, but also includes the natural components of the fruits from which it is isolated.
The main active ingredient of the formula. It comes from a combination of ascorbic acid and the two plant extracts. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness*, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress*, to the normal formation of collagen for skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels*, to the normal function of the nervous system* and to the normal psychological function*.
Part of the vitamin C is given as calcium ascorbate, a salt form with a less acidic character than pure ascorbic acid. The calcium here is a by-product of this form and is present in a very small amount, so it does not significantly contribute to the daily calcium intake.
Acerola, the cherry of the West Indies, is one of the richest natural fruits in vitamin C. The extract here is standardized, meaning its vitamin C content is controlled and constant.**
A shrub of the Amazon with a small red fruit. Like acerola, it is used in the supplement industry as a natural source of vitamin C.**
Bioflavonoids are the group of polyphenols we find in the white membrane and peel of citrus fruits. In nature, they coexist with vitamin C in the same fruits, which is why they are often added to such formulas.**
Piperine is the alkaloid that gives black pepper its pungent taste. It is widely used in supplements as a standardized extract and is the subject of extensive research on the bioavailability of other ingredients.**
It is aimed at adults who want vitamin C with plant sources and bioflavonoids, those who travel or work in crowded indoor spaces and want a monthly pack, and those who are trying a complex vitamin C formula for the first time before committing to a larger pack.
