NOW Foods AlphaSorb-C 500, 180 Veg Capsules
UPC: 733739007179
NOW Foods AlphaSorb-C 500 is a buffered vitamin C supplement designed to support antioxidant protection and cellular health. Its formula centers on Transport C-PLUS®, a trademarked blend of threonic acid-enhanced calcium ascorbate and alpha lipoic acid, which the manufacturer states enhances cellular uptake and utilization of vitamin C. This non-acidic, buffered form is combined with a citrus bioflavonoid complex, rose hips, and rutin for additional antioxidant support.
Manufactured by NOW Foods, this product is produced in a GMP-certified facility in the USA with globally sourced ingredients. The company notes that threonic acid is a vitamin C metabolite shown to improve absorption, while alpha lipoic acid may help regenerate vitamin C in the body. It comes in a 180-count bottle of vegan capsules, with packaging made from 100% post-consumer recycled resin, and carries certifications for vegan, non-GMO, kosher, and halal.
