Tag: Stabilized vitamin c

Raw L-ascorbic acid is notoriously unstable, and its bioavailability decreases significantly with higher doses. The other name for vitamin C coated is most commonly **stabilized or microencapsulated ascorbic acid**, a form engineered for greater resilience against environmental factors like heat and moisture.

Did you know that standard ascorbic acid, a form of vitamin C, is highly unstable and can lose a significant portion of its potency when exposed to light and air? The development of gold complex vitamin C represents a technological leap, combining vitamin C with submicrometric gold particles to dramatically enhance its stability, absorption, and effectiveness, particularly for topical applications.

According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, ascorbic acid—the most common form of vitamin C—is degraded by photochemical oxidation when exposed to light. Yes, **vitamin C is sensitive to light**, heat, and oxygen, which can significantly reduce its effectiveness over time.
