Ascorbyl Palmitate Molecular Structure
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat soluble form of Vitamin C possessing some unique health benefits. It is simply Ascorbic Acid bound with Palmitic Acid, a saturated fatty acid, transforming this water soluble nutrient into a fat soluble ester. It has some significant advantages over Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbyl Palmitate benefits the body as it is able to penetrate the lipid membrane of cells enabling deeper penetration into body tissues. It is especially useful for joint health and repair as it is able to penetrate these hard to reach areas. Because of its fat soluble nature, you will frequently see Ascorbyl Palmitate used in cosmetics as it readily penetrates the skin. Additionally, the fat soluble properties of this form of Vitamin C enable it to be retained in the body for longer periods of time giving greater protection against Free Radicals. This, in and of itself is a great advantage, as the only short fall of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is that it is eliminated from the body very quickly requiring frequent dosing. If you would like to supercharge your current Vitamin C regimen, I recommend adding some Ascorbyl Palmitate.

Ascorbyl Palmitate Formula
USAGE
There are many factors that affect one’s optimal daily dose of Vitamin C. Alcohol consumption, smoking, prescription drugs and environmental factors all increase one’s Vitamin C requirements. For optimal well-being and immune enhancement in a generally healthy person, 500mg of Ascorbyl Palmitate twice per day will provide sufficient benefits. If you have a chronic health issue, a total daily dose around 2,000-3,000mg per day would be more appropriate. This supplement should be taken with a fat containing meal. When using Ascorbyl Palmitate, I suggest mixing various forms of Vitamin C for a synergistic effect. Other forms of Vitamin C are listed in the Vitamins Index.
