Fat-soluble vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) may be as important as water-soluble vitamin C, yet most vitamin consumers have not even heard of ascorbyl palmitate. If you take Life Extension Mix™, you are receiving an ample dose of fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate. Each capsule of Dual-C contains 677 mg of fully reacted calcium ascorbate (gentle on the stomach and supplies calcium) and ascorbyl palmitate (to protect fat tissues from oxidation).21-26

Taking large doses of vitamin C (several grams or more) all at once, especially on an empty stomach, can cause gastric upset and diarrhea. This product contains 1827 mg (1.8 g) of vitamin C in the recommended dose of 3 capsules per day. Persons with the genetic disorder G6PD deficiency should not use such large doses of vitamin C unless directed by a physician.*
