Mito-C
The label, verified: what is in it, at what amounts, and why the formula is built this way.
Every ingredient, as printed on the label
- Vitamin C (as Liposomal Pureway-C: Ascorbic Acid, Sunflower Lecithin, Fatty Acids, and Citrus Bioflavonoids)
- Vitamin K2 (as All-Trans Menaquinone-7, K2VITAL)
- Niacin (as Niacinamide)
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine (from Acetyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride)
- Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis) (Leaf)
- Quercetin Dihydrate (from Saphora Japonica Bud Extract)
- Bioflavonoids (Citrus Sinensis) (Fruit, Peel)
- Glutathione Reduced
- Parsley (Petroselinum Crispum) (Leaf)
- Cellulose (Capsule)
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Vegetable Magnesium Stearate
The actives
- Vitamin C (as Liposomal Pureway-C) — 250 mg (278% DV)
- A proprietary blend of ascorbic acid, sunflower lecithin, fatty acids, and citrus bioflavonoids. The liposomal form supports higher retention than standard ascorbic acid.*
- Vitamin K2 (as All-Trans Menaquinone-7, K2VITAL) — 60 mcg (50% DV)
- MK-7 form of vitamin K2, the form best studied for vascular and bone support.*
- Niacin (as Niacinamide) — 5 mg NE (31% DV)
- The amide form of vitamin B3, a precursor in NAD+ pathways that support everyday cellular energy production.*
- Mito-C Proprietary Blend — 190 mg
- Alpha lipoic acid, acetyl-L-carnitine (from acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride), green tea extract (Camellia sinensis leaf, standardized to a minimum of 50% EGCG), quercetin dihydrate (from Sophora japonica bud extract), citrus bioflavonoids (Citrus sinensis fruit peel), reduced glutathione, and parsley (Petroselinum crispum leaf). A targeted blend that supports the body's antioxidant network and mitochondrial energy production.*
- Other ingredients
- Cellulose (capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate.
Why it’s built this way
Mito-C began with a simple conviction: not all vitamin C is created equal. Inspired by the decades of antioxidant research that put Professor Emeritus Roc Ordman on the map, MDR rebuilt the everyday vitamin C around Pureway-C® — ascorbic acid encased in sunflower-lecithin phospholipids with citrus bioflavonoids. In University of Miami studies, that liposomal form showed 233% higher vitamin C retention than ordinary ascorbic acid, crossing both fat- and water-soluble pathways. That's the whole reason one small 250 mg capsule can do the work a far larger plain tablet is asked to do.
Around that vitamin C, each capsule layers vitamin K2 (MK-7, as K2VITAL®) for vascular and bone support and a targeted 190 mg blend aimed at the mitochondria — the tiny power plants inside every cell. Alpha lipoic acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, green tea EGCG, quercetin, citrus bioflavonoids, glutathione, and parsley work alongside the C to support the body's own antioxidant network and everyday cellular energy. It's caffeine-free, gentle on the stomach, and printed honestly on the panel — for active adults who want to age well.
