Bio-C™
High Potency Vitamin C *
•
Bio-C™ utilizes three forms of high-potency vitamin C with bioflavonoids to benefit the immune system, heart, eyes, and skin.. Research indicates that vitamin C is used in the maintenance of bones, muscle, and blood vessels—in addition to other functions. Bio-C combines three forms of vitamin C for improved bioavailability to better support these important functions. Bio-C™ is formulated with citrus bioflavonoids, which support the absorption of vitamin C, for maximum benefit.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is used in the body to form cartilage, collagen, muscles, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can protect small molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids from damage caused by free radicals that are generated through the course of normal metabolism or through exposure to external toxins and pollutants (e.g. ultraviolet radiation from the sun or smoking). Vitamin C can also regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E. Additionally, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine, a molecule involved in the transport of fats across the mitochondrial membrane, as well as the synthesis of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter.
Take one tablet, two times daily.
Bio-C™ is well tolerated. Some gastrointestinal discomfort may be experienced as with any dietary supplement.
Available in tablets.
