Truly Natural Food Vitamin C
Did you know that over 90% of Vitamin C supplements on the market are made from synthetic ascorbic acid?
Most of these products are derived from genetically modified (GMO) cornstarch, corn syrup , or sugar beets. The manufacturing process involves converting glucose into ascorbic acid through a multi-step procedure, often stripping away important nutrients using volitile acids. Unfortunately, these synthetic Vitamin C products lack the natural cofactors found in whole-food sources like acerola cherries and camu camu, which enhance absorption and efficacy. Choosing an organic, natural Vitamin C Complex from whole food sources ensures you’re getting a supplement packed with antioxidants and free from GMOs and unnecessary processing, fillers, and flow agents.
While the doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) appear to be high and predictable, these synthetic forms of vitamin C are often labeled as “all-natural” and can be in the form of tablets, powders, capsules, and even liposomal vitamin forms. But they fall short, missing key bioflavonoids, powerful antioxidants, enzymes and more of what the entire vitamin contains that enhances absorption and provides broader health benefits.
In some cases, these synthetic (ascorbic acid) sources of Vitamin C can even be pro-inflammatory. When exposed to metals like iron, synthetic ascorbic acid can act as a pro-oxidant, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause oxidative stress and trigger inflammation.
Ascorbic acid has been linked to reducing copper levels and upsetting the balance of your delicate microbiome.
What is Real Vitamin C?
This is where C-Immune from Instinctively Pure, an organic Vitamin C source, stands out as a natural source of Vitamin C. Our formula uses real, whole-food vitamin C from organic acerola cherry and camu camu from natural fruit. These sources deliver not only vitamin C but also a synergistic blend of antioxidants, amino acids, and bioavailable nutrients that are known to reduce inflammation, combat oxidative stress, and support a healthy immune system.
Why Choose Real Whole Food Vitamin C?
Choosing whole-food vitamin C means embracing the natural integrity of nutrients as they are found in nature. Unlike synthetic versions, C-Immune is made from all-natural, organic whole food sources, offering a vitamin C complex that naturally fluctuates between 550 mg to 900 mg per capsule. Though the actual Vitamin C content may vary, this is a sign you are using real food Vitamin C and, depending on factors like soil quality and harvest timing, these minor fluctuations are completely normal.
Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, lack this authenticity, delivering only isolated compounds without the essential cofactors like bioflavonoids and enzymes that support optimal health. With C-Immune, you’re not just getting vitamin C—you’re receiving a full spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients that enhance absorption and effectiveness, offering true whole-body support
Since Vitamin C is a potent water-soluble anti-oxidant that helps to buffer free radical damage that we experience daily is it important to get adequate amounts.
Amino Acids for Enhanced Immunity
In addition to whole-food vitamin C, C-Immune contains L-lysine, L-Theanine, and L-Glutamic Acid, which support immune function and gut health. L-lysine promotes antibody production to fend off infections, while glutamine aids in gut lining repair, improving nutrient absorption and strengthening immune defenses.
L-lysine plays a crucial role in promoting antibody production, helping the body fend off viral infections, and supporting overall immune health. Studies show that L-lysine can inhibit the replication of viruses such as herpes simplex, boosting the body’s ability to respond to infections.
L-Glutamic Acid is particularly beneficial for the gut lining. It supports the repair of the intestinal wall, improving nutrient absorption and strengthening the body’s first line of defense—the gut barrier. Since nearly 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, a healthy gut lining is vital for effective immune function. L-glutamine’s ability to maintain gut integrity helps reduce inflammation and supports a robust immune response.
L-arginine is a key amino acid that helps boost immune function by increasing nitric oxide (NO) production, which improves circulation and helps white blood cells reach sites of infection more efficiently. L-arginine is also involved in wound healing and tissue repair, making it a crucial component for both immune defense and recovery.
Lastly, L-theanine offers anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits, modulating immune responses and promoting relaxation, which is essential for immune balance. It has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and enhance the body’s ability to handle inflammatory conditions, making it an ideal complement to immune-boosting real food supplements like C-Immune.
Combining these amino acids with the naturally occurring vitamin C in C-Immune provides a comprehensive approach to immune health, ensuring your body has the tools it needs to protect against illness, repair tissues, and maintain overall well-being.
Antioxidants to Combat Oxidative Stress
Our Organic C-Immune is carefully crafted in a convenient powdered capsule form, derived from real food sources like Acerola Cherries and Camu Camu berries, which are rich in potent antioxidants like flavonoids and proanthocyanidin. These antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals, protecting the body from oxidative stress and reducing inflammation. This protection is essential for maintaining long-term immune resilience, especially in today’s world, where chronic stress and poor diets contribute to inflammation and disease.
Additionally, these nutrients support collagen synthesis, which is vital for skin health, helping to repair and maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. By improving collagen production, these antioxidants also promote stronger connective tissues, enhance cardiovascular function, and support overall cellular health.
A Whole Food Solution
Choosing C-Immune gives your body the natural, bioavailable nutrients it needs to combat oxidative damage, improve immune function, and support collagen for healthier skin, bones, and joints.
At Instinctively Pure, our goal is to offer the highest quality supplements, providing real food ingredients from nature—not synthetic alternatives. C-Immune vitamin C gives your body more of the natural and bioavailable from the entire vitamin with the co-factors and an amino acid complex needed to fight infections, heal from inflammation, and combat oxidative stress naturally. Choose C-Immune to prioritize your health the way nature intended.
The best part about taking the organic natural vitamin form of vitamin C is there is nothing synthetic to process or flow agents present in C-Immune. Just vitamin C is sourced from organic citrus fruit and vitamin C-rich foods.
