Vitamin C - Potent C

Perque Potent C Guard Powder | Buffered 100% L-Ascorbate Vitamin C | Made in USA

• Immune and Antioxidant Defence - Delivers powerful antioxidant protection to neutralise free radicals, reduce oxidative stress and support immune resilience at the cellular level.
• Clinically Engineered by Dr Russell Jaffe - Developed by a pioneer in functional biochemistry using over 300 peer reviewed studies and outcome based research.
• Fully Buffered, Reduced and Mineral Balanced - Triple recrystallised under nitrogen, pH balanced, corn free, allergen free and supported by calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc for superior absorption.
• Collagen, Energy and Tissue Repair - Drives collagen formation, joint integrity, vascular strength and mitochondrial energy production for full body repair and vitality.
  
  Perque Potent C Guard supplies L-Ascorbate in its fully reduced, biologically active form, allowing cells to absorb and retain vitamin C efficiently without oxidative loss. This targeted delivery helps protect tissues from free radical damage, supports immune function, enhances collagen synthesis, improves joint and connective tissue health and fuels cellular energy production. Because the ascorbate remains stable and protected, it works longer and more effectively inside the body, supporting detoxification pathways, vascular health and overall resilience.
  
  Unlike acidic or poorly absorbed vitamin C supplements, Potent C Guard is completely buffered using mineral ascorbates, making it gentle on the stomach while dramatically improving bioavailability. The inclusion of essential minerals acts as cofactors, metabolites and transporters, ensuring rapid cellular uptake and sustained tissue action. Triple recrystallisation under nitrogen preserves potency, while the effervescent, neutral tasting formulation makes daily use easy, safe and consistent.
  
  This formula is backed by over 300 peer reviewed studies and six outcome based trials demonstrating that L-Ascorbate is the most effective form of vitamin C for human physiology. Potent C Guard features a full disclosure label with no hidden ingredients, no fillers and no allergens. Designed for those who demand functional nutrition that truly works, this is vitamin C engineered for performance, protection and long term health.

Q: What does the L-Ascorbate mean in Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C?
A: L-Ascorbate refers to the natural, physiologically active form of vitamin C that your body recognises and uses. Vitamin C is known by multiple names including ascorbic acid, ascorbate, L-ascorbic acid, and L-ascorbate. The "L" designation indicates the molecular orientation, which is crucial because only this natural form is biologically active and efficiently absorbed by your cells.

Q: How is buffered vitamin C different from regular vitamin C?
A: Buffered vitamin C combines L-ascorbate with essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. This makes higher doses easier on the stomach, prevents acidity, and improves absorption. The added minerals also act as cofactors, supporting muscle relaxation, nerve function, bone health, and overall tissue repair.

Q: Which form works better, ascorbate or ascorbic acid?
A: Ascorbate is the superior form of vitamin C. It is water-soluble, highly bioavailable, and the exact physiological form your body uses for antioxidant defence, collagen production, and cellular health. L-ascorbate in Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C ensures that the vitamin reaches the tissues efficiently and without waste.

Q: Is ascorbate the same as vitamin C?
A: Yes. Calcium ascorbate and other mineral ascorbates are fully active forms of vitamin C. They prevent or correct vitamin C deficiency while also providing essential minerals. Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C contains a blend of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, enhancing both absorption and antioxidant function.

Q: How do I ensure Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C stays fresh and potent?
A: Vitamin C is sensitive to moisture and light. Avoid using damp spoons or exposing the powder to water. Store in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for extra longevity. The effervescent formula is stable when kept airtight, allowing the product to maintain its potency for daily use.

Q: Can I take high doses of Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C safely?
A: Yes. Because it is fully buffered and combined with essential minerals, higher doses are well tolerated by the digestive system compared to unbuffered ascorbic acid. The buffered form also enhances cellular uptake and ensures that your tissues get the full antioxidant benefit.

Q: What health benefits can I expect from Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C?
A: Perque Potent C Guard™ supports immune function, reduces oxidative stress, promotes collagen formation, maintains healthy joints, supports cardiovascular health, aids detoxification, and enhances energy production. It’s a complete, clinically researched antioxidant system designed for cellular protection and repair.

Q: Does the mineral content in Potent C Guard™ matter?
A: Absolutely. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc not only buffer the vitamin C, but they act as cofactors for cellular metabolism, antioxidant regeneration, and proper mineral balance. This synergy improves absorption, tissue penetration, and overall bioactivity.

Q: Can children or pregnant women take Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C?
A: Yes, but always consult with a healthcare professional for personalised dosing. The buffered, reduced L-ascorbate is gentler on the stomach than standard vitamin C, making it suitable for sensitive individuals and those who need enhanced antioxidant support during growth, pregnancy, or lactation.

Q: How fast does Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C work in the body?
A: Because the vitamin C is in its reduced, bioactive, and buffered form, it is absorbed rapidly and effectively into the bloodstream. Unlike ordinary supplements, it persists in tissues and cells, providing prolonged antioxidant support and immediate cellular benefit.

Q: Can I mix Perque Potent C Guard™ with water or juice?
A: Yes, the powder is effervescent and neutral tasting. Mixing with water or juice allows for rapid absorption. Just make sure the water is clean and the container is dry before scooping to preserve potency.

Q: Can Perque Potent C Guard™ Vitamin C be combined with other supplements?
A: Yes, it works synergistically with other antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. For example, combining it with magnesium or zinc further supports immune health, energy metabolism, and tissue repair. It’s safe to incorporate into a daily wellness stack.

Q: Why choose Perque Potent C Guard™ over other vitamin C products?
A: This is a clinically designed, fully buffered, mineral-rich, highly absorbable L-ascorbate supplement. Developed by Dr Russell Jaffe and supported by over 300 peer-reviewed studies, it’s formulated to maximize bioavailability, reduce oxidative stress, and provide complete cellular support—something standard ascorbic acid powders cannot achieve.

Q: Can this vitamin C help with stress, sleep, or energy levels?
A: Yes. By supporting adrenal function, mitochondrial energy production, and antioxidant defence, Perque Potent C Guard™ helps the body handle oxidative and environmental stress. It contributes to optimal energy, resilience, and overall wellness, especially during times of high physiological demand.

Q: How is Potent C Guard™ better than standard tablets or capsules?
A: Tablets often degrade in the stomach or lose potency before reaching the tissues. Perque Potent C Guard™ is fully reduced, buffered, effervescent, and mineral-fortified, ensuring rapid cellular uptake, long-lasting tissue saturation, and no stomach irritation. It’s designed for maximum functional effectiveness.
