Fast-C Absorbs Faster, Equally

ORLANDO, Fla.The second clinical study on Fast-C, a patent pending vitamin C ingredient from Scientific Food Solutions and distributed by E.T. Horn in partnership as Alkemy Partners LLC, was presented at the American College of Nutrition conference. The 50th Annual ACN conference is being held Oct.1 to 4, 2009 at the Hilton Hotel, Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Fla.

This most recent clinical trial, a double blind, randomized crossover study, enrolled 10 male, non-smoking subjects, which is equivalent to a 20-person non-crossover study. It was conducted at Miami Research Associates, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical and nutrition research facility employing Good Clinical Practices.

The study showed a significantly faster rise in blood vitamin C in the first 90 minutes. Despite the faster entry of vitamin C into the blood with Fast-C, urinary excretion was slightly less, suggesting good retention by tissues. The bioavailability comparison was to the leading vitamin C formulation at a 1,000 mg single dose.
