Superior Vitamin C
Vitasunn’s Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids formula is gently buffered and is a great alternative for persons that may experience stomach irritation with ascorbic acid.
Non-Acidic Source of Vitamin C
Calcium Ascorbate is non-acidic, so it does not cause cause digestive difficulty. Many physicians recommend taking a buffered form of vitamin C if you take higher doses.
Advantages of Buffered Vitamin C
· The loss of vitamin C through urine after taking Calcium Ascorbate is much lower than after taking ordinary vitamin C;
· Calcium Ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that does not cause digestive problems, not even when using large amounts;
· Calcium Ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that does not affect tooth enamel. Ordinary vitamin C, (especially the popular "chewable form”) is very bad for teeth and should be strongly discouraged.
· Processed in purified water instead of solvents which makes it a purer form of vitamin C.
Bioflavonoids are Essential for Total Vitamin C Effectiveness.
In 1936, Albert Szent-Gyorgi discovered that vitamin C works better in combination with other nutrients, such as bioflavonoids. In other words, he found evidence to support the fact that vitamin C should be considered
a complex rather than a single nutrient, much like the vitamin B complex.
The body cannot make bioflavonoids, they must be obtained through the diet or nutritional supplements.
Bioflavonoids Improve and Prolong the Function of Vitamin C
Vitasunn’s formula contains lemon bioflavonoids, rutin and hesperidin. These bioflavonoids assist Vitamin C in keeping collagen healthy, are essential for proper absorption of Vitamin C and prevent Vitamin C from being destroyed in the body by oxidation.
Vitasunn Buffered Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids is available in 60 count vegetarian capsules.

BIOFLAVONOIDS (LEMON BIOFLAVONOIDS, RUTIN, HESPERIDIN)
Bioflavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments. They are naturally occurring chemical compounds that are important to maintaining optimal health. A scientist named Albert Szent-Gyorgi who called them “vitamin P” discovered them in 1936.
Since then, over 4000 bioflavonoids have been identified and scientists believe that many more will be discovered in the future. The term bioflavonoid refers to many different ingredients and includes hesperidin, citrus biofalvonoids, rutin, quercetin, to mention a few.
They perform a wide range of functions, for example: they protect capillaries, prevent bruising, and provide support for a number of other biological functions. Most importantly, bioflavonoids enhance the effects of Vitamin C by improving absorption and protecting it from oxidation. Conversely, bioflavonoids work best when taken with Vitamin C.
To summarize; as a group with other polyphenols, flavonoids have been linked to many health benefits as a result of their antioxidant properties.
