NOW Supplements, Ascorbyl Palmitate 500 mg, Esterified Vitamin C, Antioxidant Protection*, 100 Veg Capsules

Fights wrinkles, age spots, freckles, shrinks pores for smooth skin

A form of fat soluble Vit C that reduces and removes wrinkles, shrinks pores, and evens out freckles and age spots due to melanin. I think this may also be good for melasma. Have used this for years. Both NOW brand and Source Naturals brands are excellent. Do not take more than 1 pill daily. This is FAT SOLUBLE not water soluble like regular Vit C so it will not flush out of your body easily. You will notice a difference in your facial skin in one week. All athletes, aging people, and those with melasma will benefit from this supplement. Very safe. FYI - No form of Vit C causes kidney stones. This is a misinformation and I have even seen doctors saying this. Utter rubbish! It is oxalates calcium that causes kidney stones in some people. Do not take Calcium supplements in general (unless cleared by doc) as they are bad for your heart. They also mix with oxalates from beets, beet leaves, swiss chard, and any food heavy in oxalic acid, to form kidney stones in SOME people not most. Keep eating your greens and don't overdo the heavy oxalate veggies. Use common sense

Beware side effects!

I am quite familiar with Vitamin C and its health benefits. However, I ordered this fat-soluble version at the advice of a pet health site. Decided to research further before beginning use, and found that AP, with not very prolonged use, can cause kidney stones, and nephrologists recommend against it. See naturalpedia.com. To add insult to (almost) injury, NOW charges $5.99 to return the 2-pack

So far so good.

Lipid based vitamin C. The theory is it penetrates into body fat and stimulates metabolism. Stores of fat generate peroxides which are harmful. =4 days is too soon to evaluate efficacy so I will repost AFTER USING IT LONGER

misleading?

Description says it comes in a pack of two which makes it a good product and a great price... I only received one bottle in my delivery which makes it a good product at a really poor price! I'd love to amend my review should NOW decide to send me the second bottle

Works better than water soluable C

This is fat soluble and absorbs much better IMO. It has also been reported to get inside compromised cells that have protein coatings from pathogens etc. (where water soluble C often fails) Massive doses might cause kidney stones but many herbs and supplements can be worse like beets, rhubarb, massive D etc. I have had stones many years ago but it was never from this. Smaller doses and moderation is the key. Full glasses of water are also important
