Abstract
A vitamin C supplement comprising ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate, niacinamide ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, potassium ascorbate, and sodium ascorbate which together can be administered to a human to avoid the transitory initial suppression of human NK cell activity which is present when ascorbic acid alone is administered. Also included is xylitol, lysine acetate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, ribose, cysteine, and hesperidin which further prolongs the biological activity of ascorbic acid and promotes the uptake of ascorbic acid by human tissue.
