COMPARATIVE TECHNIQUES TO STABILIZE L-ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C)
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C in its natural form) is highly unstable in contact with air and water oxygen, especially with warm temperature.
Different techniques are used to stabilize it with unequal results.

BIOMIMETISM: ALPHASCIENCE IS INSPIRED BY NATURE TO STABILIZE ANTIOXIDANTS
How do fruits which contain a lot of water manage to keep their vitamin C and antioxidants content stable and active?
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C in its natural form) is fully stable in an orange for example, because it is associated with other antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids.
This assemblage forms a complex chemical structure that is totally stable dynamically.
ALPHASCIENCE STABLE MOLECULAR COMBINATION
By observing nature and thanks to our control of the chemical interactions between antioxidants and Vitamin C, we developed a unique associative complex of powerful antioxidants which ensures the stabilization of highly concentrated L-ascorbic acid.
