Super C

SUPER C is a unique, scientifically-backed blend of collagen, glutamine, vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc and Acerola cherry. It is naturally flavoured with dried fruit.

True SUPER C utilises a unique combination of scientifically-backed ingredients that are highly effective in enhancing the body’s ability to cope with the effects of fatigue, stress and illness. The specialised doses of vitamins, nutrients and amino acids in SUPER C aid the body to reduce inflammation, maintain healthy immune function and improve collagen synthesis. By taking a serve of SUPER C daily, or up to four times daily with the onset of cold-like symptoms, you will equip your body to cope better with symptoms associated with common respiratory viruses.

We recommend taking SUPER C in the morning to start your day. If signs of cold or flu commence then take up to three more doses throughout the day as required.

We recommend taking at least one 10g serving per day. This should be upped to two-four serves per day with the onset of cold or flu symptoms.

We recommend not to take SUPER C on the days you have already (or are planning to) consume ZMA to avoid ingesting >75mg of zinc per day. Please note - you may experience a metallic taste in the mouth from the zinc - this is completely normal.

Collagen is rich in amino acids and encourages healthy cell reproduction, which promotes a wealth of health benefits. Amino acids assist the body with carrying out countless vital physiological functions, including regulating your immune system.

Glutamine plays an important role in multiple physiological functions of our body. It is the preferred fuel source of gastrointestinal cells that are responsible for maintaining its structure and reducing gut mucosal atrophy (a physical change in the intestinal cells that affects the passing of water, bacteria, electrolytes and waste through the system). Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid - meaning your body’s ability to produce it is comprised at times of illness or stress in the body, and it must be consumed in the diet. As an important amino acid for immune defence, it can be particularly useful to supplement glutamine during illness.

Vitamin C is one of the most extensively studied vitamins in regards to its effects on common cold and flu symptoms. Studies have consistently shown that a dose of 1000mg per day taken at the onset of symptoms can reduce the duration of illness by enhancing the body’s ability to cope with the illness.

Recent studies have shown that a 75mg/day dose of zinc taken within 24 hours of the onset and throughout the duration of respiratory virus symptoms reduced the duration of the illness.

It is widely accepted that vitamin D3 plays an important role in enhancing immunity through the induction of antimicrobial proteins. Many of the actions of vitamin D3 on acquired immunity are anti-inflammatory in nature

Acerola cherry is known for being naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. We have sourced the worlds finest organic Acerola cherry as the natural source of vitamin C in SUPER C.

Vitamin C is crucial to the production of collagen in the body. Collagen is the most abundant compound in the body, and is responsible for the health of your hair, skin, tendons and ligaments. Without adequate vitamin C in the body, collagen production is disrupted. Taking vitamin C orally can enhance the body’s ability to synthesise collagen effectively.
