Vitamin C buffered + Bioflavonoids

Vitamin C contributes to a normal function of immune system, nerve and psyche by saving cell constituents from oxidative damage what leads to normal collagen formation and function of bones, teeth, cartilage, gums, skin and blood vessels.

The vitamin in Vitamin C has the form of calcium ascorbate, instead of the most common form ascorbic acid. Calcium ascorbate has an especially high bioavailability, because it can stay longer in the human body and therefore be used more effective. Ascorbic acid is absorbed very fast from the body, but at the same time also released again very quickly. Furthermore, it needs additions to have an optimal effect in the metabolism. Calcium ascorbate on the other hand is buffered, which means it has an alkaline bond and therefore an optimal effect, also for people with a sensitivity for sourness.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) vitamin C has effects on various functions in the human body, like:

• the contribution to maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise,
• the contribution to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue,
• the contribution to normal psychological functions,
• the contribution to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E,
• the contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism,
• the contribution to a normal function of the nervous system,
• the contribution to the protection of cell constituents from oxidative damage,
• the contribution to normal collagen formation and the normal function of bones, teeth, cartilage, gums, skin and blood vessels,
• the increase of non-haem iron absorption.
