How Much Vitamin C is in Zrii?
Results on testing for Vitamin C (and other nutrients) are currently not listed on the nutritional facts panel on Zrii. By design, the Amalaki extract is not standardized to Vitamin C levels due to the natural variation of micro-nutrients and macro-nutrients within wild-crafted/organically harvested fruits. This variation is dependent upon harvesting cycles, time of harvest and natural soil conditions. Furthermore, a comparison of ascorbic acid and the ascorbagens (the tannic acid-protected form of Vitamin C in Amalaki) is not a straight comparison. Research has shown that Amla is 12 times easier to assimilate than ascorbic acid. Researchers have also shown that just 8.7 mg of natural vitamin C from Amla is equivalent to 100 mg of synthetic vitamin C. (Synthetic vitamin C is often missing vital nutrients such as Rutin and Bioflavonoids.) The juice of the Amalaki fruit has almost twenty times as much Vitamin C as the juice of an orange.
