Quality of Life Labs COO Dan Lifton, said, Our core principle is to only use ingredients backed by human studies and to incorporate them in forms that have been clinically shown to deliver superior absorption and bioavailability. OptiSorb Vitamin C featuring FAST-C is an excellent example of those principles in action."

FAST-C is a premium, faster absorbing and well-retained vitamin C ingredient that has been the subject of two US-based double blind, randomized crossover clinical trials, according to SFS. FAST-C utilizes a unique, patent-pending composition that provides a buffered and 90 percent acid neutralized vitamin C. FAST-C contains BioPerine®, the patented bioavailability enhancement ingredient from Sabinsa Corporation, North Winsor, NJ, through a semi-exclusive licensing agreement.  FAST-C received Nutrition Business Journals 2009 Scientific Achievement Award, and was one of three finalists for the coveted 2010 NutrAward for the Best New Ingredient.

Optisorb Vitamin C combines FAST-C with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) to amplify the impact of vitamin C and provide antioxidant, detoxification and immune support.

Quality of Life Labs OptiSorb Vitamin C will be sold at health food stores throughout the United States and in select overseas markets. The health food store retailer and consumer know very well the benefits of vitamin C, and will immediately understand the superiority of this combination," said SFS president Gretchen Reece. We expect it to quickly become a popular product."
