FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble antioxidant with various biological functions. It is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are the building materials of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage, and bone. Vitamin C supports the body's defense system by enhancing white blood cell function and activity, and increasing interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. The antioxidative action of vitamin C has been shown to support respiratory, eye, and capillary health. In addition, vitamin C is required for biosynthesis of carnitine, serotonin, and certain neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine. ‡

Bioflavonoids are polyphenol compounds derived from plant extracts that provide beneficial health effects due to their antioxidative properties. Citrus bioflavonoids (include rutin and quercetin) have been shown to support healthy arterial function by assisting in the maintenance of vasculature activity and normal blood flow. In a clinical study, citrus bioflavonoids were shown to support vascular function by potentially influencing nitric oxide. Rutin and Quercetin has been shown to be one of the most bioactive flavonoids. Rutin have been used in alternative medicine as an potent antioxidant to treat osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions, to support blood circulation and a healthy heart, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, and anticancer properties plus enhance the action of vitamin C. Quercetin promotes cardiovascular health by protecting lipids from oxidation and supporting the health of capillaries by enhancing their strength and integrity. Both quercetin and rutin promote the protection of red blood cells and play roles in quenching free radicals.
