We are celebrating! 25 years ago, three products were introduced that have since revitalized incalculable trillions of cells.

The human body is made up of trillions of cells, each with a specific function. Vitamin C, together with the amino acids lysine and proline, plays a crucial role in the formation of connective tissue. In 1999, we introduced LyCin™, VitaCforte™, and ProlysinC™, to improve the stability of this natural network. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, we are releasing limited-edition versions of all three products.

Rewind to 1999: In the UK regions, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland celebrate devolution, which grants them greater autonomy. On a less positive note, NATO is embroiled in conflict in Kosovo, and Russia is at war in Chechnya. The press is full of warnings about the Y2K bug, causing global anxiety among PC owners about alleged problems with the transition from 1999 to 2000. With the benefit of hindsight, that fear, at least, was to prove unfounded, and computers from that era are long since out of use.

However, what were then brand-new products, LyCin™, VitaCforte™ and ProlysinC™, are still taken by thousands of enthusiastic users today. Dr. Matthias Rath’s formulas play a vital role in supporting human cells, particularly in improving the stability of connective tissue. As the body cannot produce vitamin C or the amino acid lysine, they must be obtained from the diet. In addition, the body’s natural reserves of proline are limited, so a supplemental source of this amino acid is beneficial for our cells.

LyCin™ contains three easily absorbed forms of vitamin C (ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate), together with L-lysine and citrus bioflavonoids. When mixed into a drink, it becomes a powerful beverage that promotes the normal formation of collagen fibers.

VitaCforte™ is the first choice for meeting individual vitamin C needs. It combines four different forms of this versatile nutrient: ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, and the fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate, with a citrus bioflavonoid extract to complete the formula.

ProlysinC™ provides three essential collagen building blocks: vitamin C, lysine, and proline. Collagen fibers play a crucial role in providing stability, much like reinforced-concrete beams in a skyscraper. Millions of these reinforcing molecules make up the body’s connective tissue, bones, skin, and the lining of our blood vessels.

VitaCforte™ and ProlysinC™ tablets have long since been replaced by capsules, eliminating unnecessary additives and presenting the most advanced generation of products in their 25-year history. All three products, including the LyCin™ drink mix, are vegan friendly, manufactured to European food standards and consistently tested for quality by independent laboratories. A trusted choice that has revitalized countless cells over 25 years.
