Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C calcium ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and cofactor for collagen and carnitine synthesis, and the Ester-C form provides pH-neutral calcium ascorbate with metabolites that may enhance cellular uptake and retention.
Caution: High-dose vitamin C may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset.
Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex
Bioflavonoids are plant polyphenols that may help stabilize vitamin C and support antioxidant activity by interacting with cellular oxidative pathways.
Caution: May cause mild digestive upset in sensitive individuals; discontinue if discomfort occurs.
Rutin
Rutin is a flavonoid that may support capillary integrity and antioxidant defenses by scavenging reactive oxygen species.
Caution: Those sensitive to flavonoids may experience mild gastrointestinal effects; take with food if needed.
Acerola Extract
Acerola provides natural vitamin C–rich phytonutrients that may complement ascorbate’s antioxidant activity.
Caution: Contains natural plant compounds that may cause mild stomach upset in some individuals.
Rose Hips (fruit)
Rose hips supply vitamin C–associated polyphenols that may contribute additional antioxidant support.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive people; take with a meal if needed.
How they work together
Vitamin C supplies the primary antioxidant and collagen cofactor, while bioflavonoids like citrus complex and rutin may help stabilize vitamin C and add complementary antioxidant activity. Acerola and rose hips provide plant-based phytonutrients that round out the antioxidant profile.
