What is
it?
Ascorbyl
palmitate (AP) is a fat (lipid) soluble form of vitamin C that can
reach tissue areas ascorbic acid cannot. Even though this form is
purely synthetic and is not found in nature, it has been shown to
be beneficial for protecting the lipid areas of the body from
peroxidation. The lipophilic AP is able to cross biological
barriers and satisfies the tissue demand for ascorbate better than
the hydrophilic form. AP should be considered as the preferred form
of transport of ascorbate into neural tissues.
Technically, the ascorbic acid “part” of ascorbyl palmitate is only
42% of the total weight. Since ascorbyl palmitate and ascorbic acid
work in entirely separate areas of the body, the concentration of
ascorbic acid by weight has little relevance to the benefits of
ascorbyl palmitate, and therefore has not been included in the
product contents description.
