rubyni^® Vitamin C can help you to cover your daily vitamin C requirements from the best fruits. We obtain the vital substance from high-quality, sustainably grown acerola cherries and Indian gooseberries (amla). The special thing about this is that the so-called fruit matrix is preserved during gentle processing. This means that the vitamin C is embedded in a natural network full of valuable plant substances.

Acerola comes from Brazil and is one of the fruits with the highest vitamin C content in the world: 100 grams (g) of the fully ripe fruit can contain up to 2,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C.⁵ Amla spoils you with around 600 to 700 milligrams per 100 grams of fruit.⁶ By comparison, a lemon contains just 53 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit.⁷

rubyni^® vitamin C at a glance: What’s in our capsules

rubyni^® Vitamin C is a food supplement that provides you with high doses of vitamin C from natural sources. We use two different fruits, acerola and amla.

Ingredients:

• Organic acerola fruit powder (from Malpighia glabra, freeze-dried, 20 % vitamin C)
• Organic amla fruit extract (from Emblica officinalis, 50 % vitamin C)
• Coating agent hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (plant-based capsule shell, certified vegan)

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. However, if this term is used on a food supplement, it usually refers to ascorbic acid that has been produced synthetically, i.e. artificially. With our rubyni^® vitamin C capsules, however, we provide you with vitamin C that is embedded in its natural fruit matrix.

Good to know: As vitamin C is an acid, fruits with a high vitamin C content usually taste sour. If your teeth come into contact with large amounts of the acid, it can attack the tooth enamel. This is not a problem with our practical rubyni^® vitamin C capsules: they are swallowed whole. ¹¹

Pack size: 180 capsules – in a tin made from recycled PET.

Note: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or to replace a healthy lifestyle.

Vitamin C: for your connective tissue and a building block for the immune system

Vitamin C is an essential vital substance. Among other things, your body needs it to produce collagen. Collagens are certain proteins that make up the main component of your connective tissue – which in turn is involved in the formation of blood vessels, skin, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth. Vitamin C therefore contributes to the normal function of all these different tissues.^2,3 A deficiency can, for example, increase the risk of bleeding gums.¹²

Do you often feel tired and exhausted? Then it could also be that you are not consuming enough vitamin C. This is because one of the tasks of this vital substance is to keep your energy metabolism in balance.¹

However, vitamin C is also essential for many other processes in the body. ^2,3

Without sufficient vitamin C, your immune defence is not fully effective. This is because it helps certain cells of the immune system to mature and multiply – and enables them to find and fight pathogens.^13,14

Just like our berry extracts¹⁵ , vitamin C also has an antioxidant effect. This means that it can protect your cells from damage caused by so-called free radicals. These are reactive molecules that occur naturally in the metabolism and can attack the body’s cells.¹⁶

Did you know that the highest concentration of vitamin C is found in your brain? This is where its antioxidant effect is important, as it reduces inflammatory processes. The vitamin also supports the development and function of the nervous system and the production of certain messenger substances in the brain, known as neurotransmitters.¹⁷

A sufficiently high vitamin C level also has a positive effect on your mood: In people with depressive symptoms, a high-dose vitamin C intake can brighten the mood.¹⁷ A lack of vitamin C, on the other hand, can be associated with mood swings and mental impairment. Studies indicate this.¹⁸

Do you eat a vegetarian or vegan diet? Vitamin C can help you prevent an iron deficiency: with its help, the body can better utilise iron from plant-based foods. This includes pulses, oatmeal and pumpkin seeds, for example.⁶

Heat-sensitive vital substance

Foods such as fruit, vegetables and herbs contain plenty of vitamin C when freshly harvested. However, the content can vary greatly and depends, for example, on the ripeness of the produce. The vitamin is also sensitive to heat and is (partially) lost through cooking. Storing food for longer also often reduces its vitamin C content.^2,3

rubyni^® Vitamin C can prevent an undersupply of vitamin C and help to remedy a deficiency. With the help of the practical capsules, you can easily cover your daily vitamin C requirement from natural sources: our food supplement always provides you with a constant dose of the important vital substance.
