Description

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological functions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of collagen which is the building material of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone. Vitamin C is essential for normal wound healing and capillary health. It also participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine, serotonin, and certain neurotransmitters. Moreover, Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans and animals.  Bioflavonoids (also called flavonoids) are a class of phytochemicals also included in this supplement that are potent antioxidants, which scavenge many potentially damaging free radicals.  Many bioflavonoids support the health of the body’s circulatory system by helping maintain healthy capillary blood flow and proper vascular permeability, integrity and resiliency.
