To Help Support Immune Function and Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin C and your health
Immune health. Vitamin C has a well-deserved reputation for immune support: it helps encourage a healthy immune response, so you can have more days feeling your best.
Cardiovascular health. When we think about vitamin C, odds are we don’t consider it for heart health—but maybe we should. Several clinical studies show that vitamin C helps promote healthy circulation, encouraging everything from healthy arterial blood flow to improved blood vessel dilation.
Respiratory health. Vitamin C also supports healthy lung function. In one clinical study, daily vitamin C intake encouraged breathing quality after exercise. In another, vitamin C helped maintain healthy breathing when experiencing an immune response to a respiratory challenge.
Clinically Studied for Greater Bioavailability
In a randomized clinical study, researchers compared the formulated Bio-Quercetin to unformulated quercetin. In a randomized clinical study, researchers compared the formulated Bio-Quercetin to unformulated quercetin. They found that the quercetin formulated with fenugreek fibers led to serum levels up to 62 times higher than unformulated quercetin.
Antioxidant protection, immune health and more
Getting enough vitamin C is vitally important for overall health but the human body can’t make it, so you have to get vitamin C through diet or supplements. In fact, some studies have shown that vitamin C supplementation supports certain aspects of cardiovascular health.
Plus, vitamin C’s biological activity is complemented by the health benefits of the flavonoid quercetin. In fact, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are often present together in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, notably citrus fruits.
Highly-absorbable quercetin for immune health and more
There’s a long tradition of using quercetin to relieve the effects of seasonal immune challenges. In a randomized clinical trial, quercetin supplementation encouraged a healthy immune response in physically fit older adults.
Another randomized controlled trial found similar results in trained athletes. And in double-blind clinical trials, quercetin promoted a healthy inflammatory response, reduced oxidative stress and helped maintain overall health.
• Fight Oxidative Stress - Vitamin C helps fight oxidizing free radicals, which is good for you from your head to your toes. Quercetin does too—the only problem is absorption. Our quercetin is wrapped in a phytosome, which makes it 50 times more bioavailable than traditional quercetin.
• Encourage Healthy Immune Function - Quercetin and vitamin C both promote immune health: in a randomized clinical trial, quercetin encouraged a healthy immune response in physically fit older adults—and we all know how much immune challenges want a taste of 1000 mg of vitamin C!
• Promote Overall Health - Quercetin helps promote a healthy inflammatory response. Vitamin C encourages healthy iron uptake as well as collagen production. Plus, what vitamin C does for your body is complemented by quercetin. In fact, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are often present together in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, and citrus fruit.
