What is the “L” in L-Ascorbic Acid?
Most people know vitamin C for its benefits when fighting the common cold or to treat scurvy. But vitamin C also plays a significant role in maintaining the healthy functioning of the skin – the body’s protective barrier. L-ascorbic acid is one of the two forms of vitamin C found in nature and is the most biologically active, meaning it is the most beneficial. L-ascorbic acid’s potency makes it the preferred form of vitamin C for most skincare products and dietary supplements. L-ascorbic acid’s full name refers to a specific structure of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is the name of vitamin C in the body and the “ L” in L-ascorbic acid refers to the way the molecule rotates to light.
L-ascorbic acid is the most abundant antioxidant in the body, but humans cannot produce it on their own unlike other mammals. Instead, we extract vitamin C through our diet or supplementation. Vitamin C is involved in many processes within our bodies, so the vitamin C we absorb gets distributed to all cells. However, the skin is often the last organ to receive vitamin C and does not receive it at the concentrations required to affect the skin in any significant way. Since our liquid vitamin C contains only water, vegetable glycerine and and L-ascorbic acid as most topicals do, it can be used on the skin if one wishes to do so.
L-ascorbic acid is found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges and leafy greens. They are a great source of dietary vitamin C. Unfortunately, the amount of vitamin C in these sources is impacted by its freshness. This is partly due to the breakdown of L-ascorbic acid that occurs when it is exposed to air, high temperatures and water. Most balanced diets will provide the body with enough vitamin C to support health. However, when naturally occurring sources aren’t enough, this is why L-ascorbic acid is used in supplemental products.

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT – Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps with the body’s natural defenses. Antioxidants are molecules that can aid in supporting the immune system by protecting cells from harmful molecules called free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the body.
SUPPORTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION – Vitamin C assists in the manufacture of collagen proteins which help to make new skin and blood vessels. Bioactive form L-ascorbic acid is required for collagen synthesis and plays a structural role in bone, cartilage, and teeth.
BIOACTIVE FORM L-ASCORBIC ACID – Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble form of Vitamin C that is of paramount importance to life. Despite its importance, the body does not manufacture Vitamin C. As a result, Vitamin C is not stored in the body and must be consistently replenished by consuming fresh foods or taking supplements.

The organic vegetable glycerin we use is derived from palms and has a naturally sweet taste. That’s it… we do not include any sugars, unnecessary flavors or artificial ingredients.
