Proprietary Phyto-C® formula - contains 11 health-promoting plants (superfoods) in the form of extracts or powdered raw materials. All the plants included in the formula are valuable sources of bioactive ingredients, especially polyphenols. Superfoods is the term for unprocessed natural foods, rich in active ingredients and nutrients, which, when introduced to the daily diet, supplement it with antioxidants, essential amino acids, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Rosehip (Rosa canina) is a fruit with an extraordinary content of vitamin C – 100 g of fresh fruit supplies as much as 680-1200 mg of vitamin C [1]. Natural vitamin C found in the rosehip is easily absorbed by the human body, and it is 3 to 5 times more active than its synthetic analogue [2]. The rosehip contains over 130 active compounds [3-5]. Apart from vitamin C, it contains a wealth of antioxidants, vitamins E, K, many B-group vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.
Amla (Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica)) is a fruit of a longevous tree. It is an especially valuable source of vitamin C [6], that's why it has been used in medicine and cosmetics for many years.
Amla fruit contributes to maintaining physical well-being (ID 2858)
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) sprouts are a valuable food product with a high content of vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals, organic acids and antioxidant polyphenols (rutin, quercetin and others).
Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) is a carbohydrate of natural origin, often described as "smart". It is characterised by its low glycaemic index, among other factors. Consuming foods/drinks that contain isomaltulose instead of sugar leads to a smaller increase in blood glucose levels after consumption as compared to foods/drinks that contain sugar.
Steviol glycosides are completely natural sweeteners. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant that has been used in South America for centuries. Steviol glycosides are a group of valuable plant-based ingredients. They are 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, and that is why they are added to DuoLife Vita C Powder in very small amounts. Steviol glycosides have zero calories and are not absorbed in the human gastrointestinal tract [7]. Scientific research has shown that stevia can be safely used in the everyday diet. There is no doubt that introducing stevia into the Polish food market is the first step towards changing bad dietary habits associated with the overuse of sugar in the everyday diet [8].
