Vitamin C Tablets with Dihydroquercetin
250 Tablets / 1000 mg each

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.

This and all our products are lead-free. Be aware that many commercial C products imported from China contain lead which can cause neurological damage. Many US manufacturers get their C from China to save money.

Since it was first isolated nearly 80 years ago, vitamin C has been deemed essential for life and for maintaining optimal health and well-being.

Its potent antioxidant properties and critical role in facilitating essential biochemical reactions throughout the body have made vitamin C the most widely consumed nutritional supplement.

Because humans do not manufacture vitamin C internally, it must be obtained through dietary sources or supplements. Few people realize, however, that vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient that is quickly oxidized and excreted by the body,1 which limits its efficacy. Until now, those seeking to capture vitamin C's optimal health benefits have had no choice but to consume it several times throughout the day.

Fortunately, a flavonoid antioxidant known as dihydroquercetin functions as a vitamin C "supercharger". Studies demonstrate that dihydroquercetin acts to inhibit the oxidation of vitamin C, thereby helping to maintain its concentration and to recycle vitamin C throughout the body.2,3 This synergistic relationship between dihydroquercetin and vitamin C greatly enhances the efficacy of both molecules in the body's organs and tissues.
