Optimal Vitamin C Powder

Optimal Vitamin C Powder provides over 2,500 mg of buffered vitamin C in a great-tasting effervescent powder. This important antioxidant may help support the immune system, healthy connective tissue and skin and normal levels of glutathione within the body. As an antioxidant, vitamin C may protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed as normal products of metabolism and in response to environmental exposures. We are exposed to free radicals each day in the environment from cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet light from the sun. In addition to supporting the body’s healthy response to these exposures, the body also needs vitamin C to make collagen, a protein required to help wounds heal.* Optimal Vitamin C features antioxidant- and immune-supportive bioflavonoids quercetin, rutin and hesperidin. These are all naturally occurring bioflavonoids found in citrus fruits. Quercetin is also found in red wine and tea. Our vitamin C is buffered with calcium and magnesium, making this product a gentler vitamin C option than other powders on the market. It is sweetened with only xylitol and organic stevia extract, without fructose or other undesirable sweeteners.
