Athelete Support Vitamin C Complex

VITAMIN C COMPLEX – IMMUNOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR ATHLETES
The VITAMIN C COMPLEX from Holistic/berlin is the scientifically optimized immune support for athletes with high training loads:

Natural immune protection during periods of stress: Intense training has been proven to cause temporary immunosuppression ("open window effect"). High-dose acerola powder with its natural vitamin C complex strengthens immune function precisely during these critical phases and shortens the duration of this immune deficiency by up to 68% – crucial for athletes during competition phases.
Antioxidant defense: Intense exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The synergistic combination of rosehip polyphenols and grape seed oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) neutralizes these free radicals and protects cell membranes and DNA from oxidative damage—a crucial factor for maintaining performance.
Optimized collagen synthesis: Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis. Continuous supplementation supports the regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and fascia, which are subject to significant stress during intense training sessions—particularly valuable for sports that require high levels of strength and explosive power.
Improved iron utilization: The natural vitamin C complex has been proven to increase the bioavailability of iron from food by up to 300%. This is particularly relevant for endurance athletes who are at increased risk of iron deficiency—a common performance-limiting factor in elite sports.
Supports cortisol regulation: The bioflavonoids from lemon powder and rosehip support the normalization of stress hormones after intense exercise. This improves the balance between training and recovery and prevents overtraining syndrome – essential for athletes with high-frequency training cycles.
Cardiometabolic protection: OPCs from grape seeds have been shown to improve endothelial function and support cardiovascular health during high-intensity exercise. Studies show improved vascular elasticity and optimized NO production—important factors for blood flow and nutrient transport to active muscles.

The Vitamin C Complex is based exclusively on natural, gently dried raw materials from controlled organic cultivation. Unlike synthetic vitamin C supplements, it provides the full spectrum of cofactors and secondary plant substances that are crucial for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness.
Integrate the VITAMIN C COMPLEX into your daily nutrition routine and experience the difference that stable immune function makes for your training consistency and performance development – ​​especially during periods of high stress and competition preparation.

Mix 4g (1 tsp) daily into 250-300ml of water, juice, or protein shake. Ideally, take in the morning to support immune function throughout the day. During periods of high stress or at the first signs of fatigue, increase to 2 servings daily (morning and evening). For maximum effectiveness, use regularly, especially during competition periods and with high training frequency.
