Ascorbyl-C + Bioflavonoids provides an excellent source of vitamin C in fat and water soluble forms, as well as citrus bioflavonoids. Vitamin C is one of the most important dietary antioxidants and helps reduce free radicals and lipid oxidation in body tissues. Although it is normally only water soluble, this formula provides vitamin C from ascorbyl palmitate, a fat soluble form that has been shown in preclinical studies to cross the blood-brain barrier and eliminate free radicals in the brain. Magnesium, potassium and zinc ascorbates are also included to buffer the vitamin C. Because this pH-neutral form of vitamin C is gentle on the stomach, it can reduce the gastric irritation sometimes associated with ascorbic acid, making it ideal for sensitive individuals. Zinc supports immune function in conjunction with vitamin C, while magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and proper functioning of muscles, including the heart. Since many Canadians do not consume the recommended dose of vitamin C and these essential minerals, Ascorbyl-C + Bioflavonoids can contribute to the recommended intake. Citrus bioflavonoids are also included to provide an additional dose of antioxidants. Pre-clinical studies have shown that they increase the bioavailability of vitamin C.
