Poly C

Vitamin C is a hardworking nutrient. It’s a water-soluble antioxidant that contributes to cardiovascular health, immune health, and even skin health. And USANA’s Poly C has an advanced formula, making it a workaholic and an excellent daily supplement. Its unique blend of mineral ascorbates makes the vitamin C available in the body’s blood stream for a prolonged period of time. It is also formulated to complement USANA’s Essentials, providing extra vitamin C during times of stress. Another advantage of Poly C is that it’s formulated to reduce common stomach irritation, a drawback to other sources of vitamin C. You should know that your body neither makes nor stores vitamin C, so you have to consume this important antioxidant daily to keep it in your system. Poly C is also formulated in USANA’s Proflavanol supplement, if you’re looking for both the benefits of bioflavonoids and vitamin C.*

Immune Health

The immune system is the most complex system in the human body. A diverse mix of tissues, proteins, cells and organs work together to support total body defense. Without proper nutrition, the immune system can become weak and ineffective. Our Immune Health supplements help to support healthy immune function.

Digestive Health

Low-fat diets rich in dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and decrease the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors. However, because of poor eating habits, many people don’t get enough of the fiber necessary for optimal health. Our Digestive Health products are a convenient way to add more fiber to your diet.

Eye Health

As humans age, a natural decline in visual acuity may occur. One of the most important reasons for this loss of visual acuity over time is damage from environmental factors. Except during sleep, eyes are constantly exposed to environmental factors like sunlight, dryness, and air pollution. Our Eye Health supplements have been designed to support long-term eye health.

Healthy Energy

Cleaner. Smarter. Stronger. Our Healthy Energy products provide a scientific alternative to traditional crash-and-burn energy drinks.

Healthy Weight

It’s no secret that the key to effective weight loss is making positive changes in diet and exercise. However, making those healthy lifestyle changes can often seem like an insurmountable task. Our Healthy Weight Management products are designed to jumpstart healthy eating habits and help individuals begin to make a clean break from unhealthy food.

Healthy Liver Function

The liver is the body’s second largest organ and its largest gland. Our Liver Health products have been formulated to provide a unique blend of antioxidants and other ingredients to help support long-term healthy liver function.

Men's Health

While general nutrient needs are very similar between men and women, age can present unique gender-based health concerns. As men age, many are at risk for developing prostate problems. A healthy diet and exercise, combined with supplements specifically formulated for prostate health, can help minimize this risk. Our Men's Health products are designed to provide long-term support for prostate health.

Women's Health

While general nutrient needs are very similar between men and women, age can present unique gender-based health concerns. For women over the age of 40, symptoms associated with the onset of menopause may begin to occur. Our Women's Health products are designed to support menstrual health and help improve quality of life during the transition to menopause.

In 1928, Albert Szent-Györgyi isolated a chemical that protected fruits against discoloration and infection when bruised. In 1937 he won a Nobel Prize for his discovery— the chemical substance we now know as vitamin C. Vitamin C plays many important roles in the body, and because human bodies are incapable of manufacturing vitamin C, we must rely on our diet to satisfy our daily requirement. The amount of vitamin C needed daily for optimal performance is directly related to individual ingestion, absorption, utilization, metabolism, excretion, work environment, and physical, mental, and environmental stress. Everyone has a different biochemistry and unique lifestyle. While vitamin C deficiency is rare today, we may still not receive sufficient amounts for our individual health needs.1,2 The Poly C® supplement provides optimal vitamin C protection with a unique blend of mineral ascorbates that provides higher levels of vitamin C in the blood than from equal amounts of ascorbic acid.*

The Many Roles of Vitamin C

Critical to good health, vitamin C supports many important functions in the body. First, it is essential for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and is essential for staying healthy and strengthening muscles, teeth, bones, skin, and blood vessels. Without adequate vitamin C, there is inadequate collagen.3,5,7*

Under normal conditions, the RDA of 75–90 mg per day meets the requirement for maintaining collagen. But we also need vitamin C to quench free radicals, prevent lipid oxidation, and regenerate other antioxidants.4 It is a co-factor or co-substrate for many enzyme systems involved in such functions as ATP synthesis within mitochondria and hormone biosynthesis.5

Vitamin C can help retain cardiovascular health by supporting healthy adrenal function and healthy arterial wall integrity.6 And, vitamin C helps support a healthy immune system, which is responsible for defending your body against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins, and parasites every day.7 You also need

enough vitamin C to protect the liver from environmental toxins and drug metabolites and to make carnitine, interferon, and prostaglandin E1.7 Thus, a daily dose of 75–90 mg is unlikely to be sufficient for everyone.8 One tablet of Poly C provides 600 mg of vitamin C protection.*

Why Poly C®?

Exclusive to USANA, Poly C is a balanced formulation of mineral ascorbates with vitamin C activity. By using a variety of ascorbates, USANA is able to affect the way the body maintains vitamin C levels. An in-house clinical trial showed that when equal amounts of vitamin C were provided as either Poly C or ascorbic acid, the Poly C gave higher levels of vitamin C in blood serum and maintained those higher levels for a longer time.*
