Life Extension Vitamin C & Quercetin Phytosome 1000mg 250 caps

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C eliminates free radicals from your body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones and teeth. One of its major activities for supporting immune is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood. The highest levels of vitamin C in your body can be found in the adrenal glands. During stress it is required in higher quantities. Increased intake in vitamin C is also necessary when your body is exposed to stress caused by heavy meals, smoking, immune impairment, extreme temperatures and chronic use of medications, such as aspirin. Our body cannot naturally manufacture vitamin C and we need to acquire it via dietary sources and supplements. However, few people realise that vitamin C is quickly removed from your body, limiting its efficacy. Thus, until now, people seeking optimal health benefits had to take it several times per day. Fortunately, there is an antioxidant, known as dihydroquercetin, that helps vitamin C to maintain its concentration and recycle vitamin C throughout the body. As a result, the molecules of our body’s organs and tissues function more efficiently. Vitamin C with Dihydroquercetin was formulated for those seeking to obtain optimal efficacy and antioxidant protection from a vitamin C supplement.
