Vitamin C supplements are ubiquitous in the wellness world, but they aren’t all as effective as you might think. Some are strictly made from lab-made ascorbic acid that can be harsh on your stomach and degrade the enamel on your teeth. Others attempt a more natural approach but stop at a single ingredient that doesn’t work as effectively in isolation.
Pure Radiance C® is one of a kind. It exemplifies the word synergy to its truest extent – “the interaction or cooperation of two or more substances to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects”.
Pure Radiance C is a synergistic combination of nature’s purest and most potent sources of vitamin C, which also contain complementary antioxidants and phytonutrients that boost its absorption and make it more favorable and effective for your body.
Here’s your chance to meet the radiant cast of vitamin C celebrities that make Pure Radiance C shine:
Acerola Cherry Concentrate
What it does
Acerola cherries probably aren’t one of the fruits you eat every day, and that’s because they’re pretty tough to find. Along with being positively packed with vitamin C, acerola contains powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins that fight free radicals and help protect cells throughout the body. Acerola’s antioxidants and vitamin C are particularly beneficial for skin health, with proven benefits for collagen production and healthy skin tone.
Where it comes from
Our organic acerola cherries are sourced from their native Central and South American habitats and handpicked at the optimum time - when their vibrant color indicates they are at their peak vitamin C content. The fresh-picked fruits are then immediately stored at temperatures just above freezing to preserve their nutrient content.
We gently process and concentrate our acerola cherries in a way to protect the fragile, heat- and oxygen-sensitive vitamin C. The result is an incredibly pure and potent ingredient that retains the whole-fruit matrix of vitamin C and its important cofactors for optimal bioavailability. Finally, unlike many concentrated powders that use maltodextrin for bulk, our acerola cherry uses Acacia seyal as a natural carrier, which brings along its own micronutrients and some gut-friendly fiber, too!
Amla Berry
What it does
Also known as Indian gooseberry, Amla is one of the most valued adaptogens in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to nourish immune health and help maintain healthy detoxification processes in the body. It turns out the benefits of amla berries are largely thanks to their impressive nutrient profile – they are packed with vitamin C, tannins, and polyphenols, and most notably ellagic acid, a potent polyphenol that promotes healthy cellular function and renewal.
Where it comes from
Pure Radiance C contains organic amla berry that’s grown in the Himalayan valleys of its Indian homeland. We carefully pick this nutrient-dense superfruit under pristine conditions and concentrate its vitamin C and antioxidant array under low temperatures to ensure you get all its benefits.
Baobab Fruit
What it does
Bulbous baobab fruits are incredibly rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants that boost overall wellness. The tart pulp of these superfruits contain some of the highest levels of vitamin C in nature, electrolyte minerals that promote healthy fluid balance, and prebiotic fiber that supports digestive health.
Where it comes from
Baobab is the exclusive fruit of the African baobab tree, which has been revered as the “tree of life” for centuries. In a highly regenerative and sustainable process, our local partners allow the organic fruits to naturally sun dry before extracting and gently milling their dry pulp into a nutrient-dense powder.
Buckwheat Berry Sprouts
What it does
Buckwheat - a tricky name for a powerful superfood! While it has wheat in the name, buckwheat isn’t a grain at all, and it doesn’t contain any wheat or gluten. Buckwheat is actually an ancient fruit seed, and its sprouts are an abundant source of naturally occurring rutin and quercetin, two very important vitamin C cofactors (or “helper nutrients”). These phytonutrients can support healthy capillary integrity, skin health, and much more.
Where it comes from
We grow our buckwheat berry sprouts in a nutrient-rich broth containing catalytic minerals and other essential nutrients. This natural sprouting process takes a seed that is dormant and sparks it to life with an array of live enzymes and nutrients.
After the seeds sprout, they are harvested, flash frozen, and immediately placed in a vacuum and freeze-dried for optimum nutrient preservation.
Camu Camu Concentrate
What it does
The camu camu berry is one of the world's richest sources of natural vitamin C. But since most of us can’t pick up camu camu berries at our local grocery (and maybe we wouldn’t want to – they’re pretty tart!), we’ve included a concentrated source in our Pure Radiance C formula. And camu camu benefits extend beyond just vitamin C, they are also packed with flavonoids that fight free radicals that cause oxidative stress on your body. In other words, they help your body function more efficiently while helping protect it against everyday toxins and stressors.
Where it comes from
Our camu camu berries are sustainably grown in the Amazon rainforest thanks to a program initiated by our founder, Mitchell May, in the 1990s. Read more about how The Synergy Company developed a comprehensive program to obtain its camu camu berries in a manner that sustained the health of the ecosystem, supported local communities, and created a model for sustainable economic activity in this fascinating blog post (LINK).
Cranberry
What it does
Many of us just eat cranberries once or twice a year at the holidays, but the powerful plant nutrients they contain deserve a much more prominent place in your diet (and maybe not just in sugar-laden cranberry juice)! Sweet-tart cranberries are full of antioxidants, including vitamin C and proanthocyanidins, which earns them a special spot in our Pure Radiance C formula.
How they’re prepared
Our pure, certified organic cranberries from Europe are fresh freeze-dried and concentrated to amplify their full spectrum of healthy goodness – with no sugar added!
Dragon Fruit
What it does
Flashy, exotic dragon fruit – commonly called pitaya – is not just a pretty face. This fantastic fuschia fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, polyphenols, and other amazing antioxidants. The nutrients in dragon fruit are known to support cardiovascular health, digestion, and more.
Where it comes from
Our certified organic dragon fruit comes from its natural tropical habitat in the Amazon region. Pure pitaya pulp is gently concentrated and dried, adding a pink pop of color and plentiful antioxidant power to Pure Radiance C.
Lemon Peel
What it does
We often think of the tart juice of lemons, but the often-tossed peel is packed with goodies. In addition to vitamin C content, lemon peels also contain the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Lemon peels also contain an impressive array of other bioactive compounds like D-limonene, which has been studied for its ability to help fight oxidative stress and foster cellular youth.
Where it comes from
Our certified organic lemon peel is sourced from lemons grown right here in the USA in an ideal sunny climate where lemon trees can flourish. Then its simply dried and preserved for top nutrient preservation.
Red Raspberry
What it does
Short in season but packed with flavor, raspberries are a special summer treat for many of us. They’re also a pretty special source of important antioxidants including ellagic acid as well as fiber and vitamin C. The long list of goodies in raspberries is extraordinary and puts it at the top of the pack of the best superfruits.
Where it comes from
Our certified organic red raspberries are sourced from carefully vetted farmers and are fresh freeze-dried and concentrated to preserve their nutrition and amplify their full spectrum of healthy goodness.
Rose Hips
What it does
Rose hips are the fruit of the dog rose (Rosa canina) bush. These prolific fruits contain more vitamin C than an orange, making them a great addition to our Pure Radiance C formula. As a bonus to boost your wellness, they are also naturally dense in a variety of carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, catechins, and other phytonutrients that nourish the body from the inside out.
Where it comes from
Our certified organic rose hips are cultivated in South America and transformed into a rich, free-flowing powder through our specialty steam-drying and chemical-free sterilization process.
Wild Blueberry
What it does
Tiny-but-mighty wild blueberries are much more nutritionally dense than their cultivated cousins. In addition to vitamin C and other micronutrients, these petite indigo blue morsels contain plentiful proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins that bring unmatched antioxidant power.
Where it comes from
Our 100% certified organic, North American blueberries are always free of the chemical pesticides and herbicides that are typically applied to conventional crops. And since nutrients start to degrade as soon as berries are picked from the plant, we quickly freeze-dry our wild blueberries so that all of their beautiful benefits are preserved.
A Synergy of C
Our carefully chosen and thoughtfully sourced ingredients make Pure Radiance C uniquely pure and potent. We sought out the most sustainable and cleanest sources of each ingredient to develop a vitamin C supplement that manages to be both powerful and gentle. You can check, but we’re pretty sure you won’t find a better or more synergistic way to give your body the daily rewards of vitamin C.
