Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. Unlike ascorbic acid, which is water-soluble, ascorbyl palmitate is able to be stored in cell membranes until needed by the body.
Many people think vitamin C is only used for immune support, but it has many other important functions. A major role of vitamin C is in manufacturing collagen, a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue (the most abundant tissue in the body). Ascorbyl palmitate is an effective free radical-scavenging antioxidant which promotes skin health and vitality.
