Life Extension Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin Phytosome

Product description Life Extension Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin Phytosome

The active vitamin C in Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin Phytosom can:

• Help protect the body from oxidative stress
• Promote collagen formation and normal iron absorption
• Ultra-absorbable quercetin supplements the health benefits of vitamin C
• One pack will last over 8 months

The vitamin C and ultra-absorbable quercetin in VITAMIN C and Bio-Quercetin Phytosome can help protect your body from oxidative stress and support collagen formation, as well as healthy iron absorption and healthy immune function.

Health benefits at a glance:

The vitamin C and ultra-absorbable quercetin in Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin Phytosome delivers a dose of vitamin C to your body that it can't provide on its own. These compounds can help protect your body from oxidative stress, promote collagen formation, support healthy immune function and iron absorption.

The biological activity of vitamin C is complemented by the easily absorbed form of quercetin. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids such as quercetin are often found together in healthy foods.

Why it works:

The health benefits of vitamin C are well known to nutritionists, but it's also an essential nutrient, which means people can't make it internally. This means that we must take in all of our vitamin C from our diet and supplements.

Phytosome's unique Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin formula combines high-quality vitamin C with the antioxidant quercetin, which complements vitamin C's activity in supporting whole-body health.

In this formula, quercetin has been combined with a phospholipid-based delivery system called the phytosome, making it up to 50 times more absorbable and easier for the body to use compared to conventional quercetin.

The science behind the product:

Research has been done on vitamin C and has shown that vitamin C can be a potent antioxidant [3-10]. It can scavenge free radicals and may provide protection against oxidative stress [3-10]. Vitamin C can also stimulate iron absorption [12,13]. Furthermore, it may be involved in the formation of collagen, which supports artery walls, skin, bones and teeth [6-8].

Vitamin C also plays a role in protection against environmental and physical stresses such as heavy metal ingestion [13-18], cigarette smoking [19-22], compromised immunity [23-30], and extreme temperatures [18,31-33]. .

There is scientific evidence that specialized compounds in fruits and vegetables provide essential protection against free radical attack [34]. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in grape skins, onions, apples, buckwheat, and other food sources.

Quercetin has a long history of use to mitigate the effects of seasonal immune challenges and has been shown in clinical studies to support a healthy immune response in physically fit adults [35,36]. Quercetin helps inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation [37,38]. Quercetin also supports cardiovascular and endothelial health and helps maintain healthy blood pressure already in the normal range [39-44].

Recommended dosage:

• Please take according to the dosage and usage instructions in the supplement or as recommended by your doctor. One tablet daily with food.
