Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Ascorbate functions as an antioxidant and enzymatic cofactor, donating electrons to help neutralize free radicals and support normal collagen formation and immune cell activity.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in some people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Citrus bioflavonoids complex (including rutin and hesperidin)
Bioflavonoids act as polyphenol antioxidants that may help stabilize vitamin C and support healthy capillary function and cellular antioxidant defenses.
Caution: May interact with certain medications or sensitivities to citrus-derived compounds; monitor tolerance.
Calcium (from Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Calcium supports normal cellular signaling and contributes to the buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C in this product.
Caution: Consider total daily calcium intake from all sources to avoid excessive amounts.
How they work together
Vitamin C provides core antioxidant and collagen-support roles, while citrus bioflavonoids help protect vitamin C and complement antioxidant activity. The calcium-ascorbate form buffers acidity, which may be gentler on the stomach compared to acidic forms.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have a medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Stop use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People with a known citrus or bioflavonoid sensitivity may be cautious. Those on medications that interact with calcium-sensitive drugs, such as certain thyroid medications or some antibiotics, may consider separating dosing and discussing with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store at room temperature.
