Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and cofactor for collagen and carnitine enzymes, and calcium ascorbate is a buffered form that may be gentler on the stomach while supporting cellular antioxidant defense.
Caution: High intakes may cause digestive discomfort for some people; take with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset.
Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex (including Rutin and Hesperidin)
Citrus bioflavonoids are polyphenols that may help support capillary integrity and enhance vitamin C recycling and uptake in cells.
Caution: May interact with certain medications or botanicals that affect blood flow because bioflavonoids can influence vascular function.
Calcium (from Calcium Ascorbate)
Calcium supports normal muscle and nerve function and in this form acts as the buffering mineral bound to ascorbic acid.
Caution: Consider total daily calcium from diet and supplements to avoid excessive intake.
How they work together
Buffered vitamin C as calcium ascorbate supplies antioxidant support while being gentler on the stomach. Citrus bioflavonoids complement vitamin C by supporting its cellular uptake and stability, and by offering additional antioxidant activity.
