Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an electron donor antioxidant and enzyme cofactor, supporting collagen formation and normal immune cell activity; the Ester-C form is non-acidic and includes metabolites that may enhance cellular uptake and retention.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food if sensitive.
Citrus bioflavonoids complex (including rutin and hesperidin)
Citrus bioflavonoids act as polyphenol antioxidants that may help stabilize vitamin C and support healthy capillary integrity and oxidative balance.
Caution: May interact with certain medications or cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals; monitor tolerance.
Calcium (from calcium ascorbate)
Calcium supports normal muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and cellular processes; in this formula it also serves as the mineral carrier for vitamin C as calcium ascorbate.
Caution: Total daily calcium from all sources matters; high intakes may contribute to constipation in some people.
How they work together
Vitamin C provides core antioxidant and immune-related support, while citrus bioflavonoids help protect vitamin C and contribute additional antioxidant activity. The calcium ascorbate form makes the vitamin C non-acidic, which may be gentler on the stomach.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before use. Stop use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate calcium-containing supplements by at least 2 hours due to possible absorption interference. Those with a history of kidney stones or high calcium levels may wish to discuss vitamin C and calcium intake with a healthcare provider.
