What Does PureWay-C Do?

PureWay-C is a clinically researched form of Vitamin C that combines ascorbic acid with lipid metabolites and citrus bioflavonoids to enhance delivery and cellular uptake. Unlike standard ascorbic acid, which can be excreted quickly, this lipid-buffered version ensures the vitamin stays in your system longer to support performance and recovery.

  • Enhanced Bioavailability: The unique lipid metabolite delivery system allows Vitamin C to enter cells more rapidly and remain at higher concentrations for up to 24 hours.
  • Potent Antioxidant Support: It neutralizes free radicals generated during intense training, significantly reducing oxidative stress and protecting muscle tissue from damage.
  • Immune System Defense: High-intensity exercise can temporarily suppress immune function; PureWay-C supports white blood cell activity to keep you training consistently.
  • Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C is a critical cofactor in the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Clinical vs. Gym Bro Dosing

TierDoseNotes
Daily Health100mg - 250mgBasic maintenance for general health and wellness.
Performance Standard500mgThe clinical sweet spot for most premium pre-workouts.
High Performance1,000mgIdeal for periods of heavy overreaching or high physical stress.
Upper Limit2,000mg+Potential for GI distress; generally unnecessary for athletes.

Key Insight: Because of its superior retention rates, you do not need to "mega-dose" PureWay-C like you might with cheap ascorbic acid. A 500mg dose is sufficient to saturate your tissues and provide the necessary antioxidant protection for a grueling workout.

Side Effects & Warnings

  • Gastrointestinal Comfort: While much gentler than standard Vitamin C, extremely high doses (exceeding 2,000mg) may cause mild bloating or loose stools in sensitive individuals.
  • Iron Absorption: Vitamin C significantly increases the absorption of non-heme iron. While usually a benefit, those with conditions like hemochromatosis should consult a doctor.

Tip: PureWay-C is specifically designed to be non-acidic and stomach-friendly. If you usually get an upset stomach from vitamin-heavy pre-workouts, switching to a formula using this lipid-metabolite version is a smart move.
