- The No-Compromise Vitamin C Solution
Adding a Vitamin C derivative to a formulation is a fantastic way to boost the claims of a product. Those claims are only as strong as the formulation itself though. If a formulation is compromised because of a raw ingredient, the appeal is lost. Instep K-3 Vita-C, the no-compromise Vitamin C solution.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Benefits Over Test Results
Stability/Residual activity -1% aqueous solution 25°C
Stability of K3 Vita-C, Ascorbic acid, AA2G and MAP –1% aqueous solution stored at 25°C
Discoloration behavior of 1% aqueous solutions after 30 days at 50°C
K3 Vita-C is very effective in collagen formation. In-vitro tests show that K3 Vita-C outperforms ascorbic acid and other Vitamin C derivatives, while long-term stability of the molecules is not even taken into consideration.
Collagen Formation Efficacy
Collagen formation effi cacy of K3 Vita-C compared to Ascorbic Acid and other Vitamin
C derivatives. In-vitro test involving culturing of cells in presence of the ingredients tested. Concentration of procollagen Type I C-peptide (PIP) generated was measured for each system.
