NOW® AlphaSorb-C™ includes Transport C-PLUS®, the trademarked blend of Threonic Acid Enhanced Buffered (non-acidic) Calcium Ascorbate and Alpha Lipoic Acid.  Threonic Acid (a Vitamin C metabolite) has been shown to enhance cellular uptake of Vitamin C.  Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant known to help regenerate Vitamin C in the body.  Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may enhance the body's utilization of Vitamin C.  The addition of Bioflavonoids as synergists helps to create a well-absorbed, highly effective Vitamin C supplement.  Vitamin C is best known as a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals.
