Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C calcium ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen formation and carnitine and neurotransmitter synthesis, and the Ester-C form is non-acidic and designed for enhanced retention in cells.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in some people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Citrus bioflavonoid complex
Bioflavonoids are plant 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 medications if advised by a professional.
Acerola extract (fruit)
Acerola provides naturally occurring vitamin C and polyphenols that may enhance antioxidant capacity alongside ascorbate.
Caution: Contains natural fruit compounds; individuals sensitive to fruit extracts should monitor for tolerance.
Rose hips (fruit)
Rose hips supply plant polyphenols and vitamin C-related compounds that may complement antioxidant support.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed.
Rutin
Rutin is a flavonoid that may support capillary integrity and complement vitamin C’s antioxidant actions.
Caution: Very small amount present; those sensitive to flavonoids should still monitor for tolerance.
How they work together
Vitamin C provides core antioxidant and collagen cofactor activity, while bioflavonoids, acerola, rose hips, and rutin add complementary polyphenols that may help stabilize vitamin C and broaden antioxidant support. The non-acidic Ester-C form is designed for gentle stomach tolerance and improved cellular retention of vitamin C.
