Diffucaps® Vitamin C (sustained-release)
Sustained-release capsules conveniently provide a 12-hour dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C ranks #2 worldwide in total multi-vitamin supplement sales, and is the leading ‘single’ vitamin supplement in the world.
Vitamin C is water soluble and cannot be stored by the body. Because it is absorbed and excreted rapidly in the gastrointestinal tract, taking an immediate release (IR) supplement does not maintain plasma levels throughout the day.
Our Diffucaps® sustained-release Vitamin C is clinically shown to maintain plasma levels throughout the day. The formulation is more convenient than IR formulations because Diffucaps® Vitamin C provides a continuous release of Vitamin C in smaller doses over a longer period of time, maintaining the nutrient’s levels over an extended period of 12 hours.
Aptalis Pharmaceutical Technologies uses their proprietary Diffucaps® technology to create a sustained-release formulation of this widely used dietary supplement. It can be licensed for use as a pharmaceutical or food product, depending on country.
