Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C calcium ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and a cofactor for collagen and carnitine synthesis, and the Ester-C calcium ascorbate form is non-acidic and designed for gentle absorption and cellular retention.
Caution: High intakes may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food if sensitive.
Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex
Citrus bioflavonoids provide polyphenols that may help stabilize vitamin C and support antioxidant activity in tissues.
Caution: May interact with certain medications due to polyphenol content; separate from medicines if advised.
Acerola Extract (fruit)
Acerola supplies naturally occurring vitamin C–related compounds and polyphenols that may complement antioxidant support.
Caution: Contains natural fruit compounds; those sensitive to fruit extracts should monitor tolerance.
Rose Hips (fruit)
Rose hips provide plant polyphenols that may work with vitamin C to support antioxidant defenses.
Caution: May cause mild digestive upset in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed.
Rutin
Rutin is a flavonoid that may help support capillary integrity and complement vitamin C’s antioxidant actions.
Caution: Those with sensitivity to flavonoids should start with the suggested serving and assess response.
How they work together
Vitamin C provides core antioxidant and collagen-supporting activity, while the non-acidic Ester-C form aims for gentler absorption and retention. Citrus bioflavonoids, acerola, rose hips, and rutin add plant polyphenols that can stabilize and complement vitamin C’s actions across antioxidant and connective tissue pathways.
