Vitamin C Plus is intended for individuals who are seeking to support the immune system, healthy histamine levels, skin, and healthy aging using a delicious vitamin C formula that is buffered for reduced GI side effects.&#x2020;When added to water, the powder turns into a delicious fizzy drink, making it easy for kids or others with finicky palates to use.&#x2020;<ul id="isPasted"><li style="font-size: 16px;">Buffered vitamin C with bioflavonoids</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Potent antioxidant support for immune health</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Supports healthy histamine levels and mast cell stabilization</li></ul><h4 id="isPasted">Your body cannot make vitamin C. It must be obtained daily from your nutrition.</h4>The buffered form of vitamin C can reduce digestive system discomfort from vitamin C supplementation. You can also enhance vitamin C&#x2019;s activity by taking it with bioflavonoids. These plant compounds work synergistically alongside vitamin C to amplify its antioxidant effects.&#x2020;Vitamin C Plus&#xA0;powder contains a potent serving of buffered vitamin C. Plant bioflavonoids are included to support vitamin C utilization.&#x2020;Vitamin C Plus is ideal for those seeking an effective and well-tolerated immune support supplement. It includes naturally occurring bioflavonoids (quercetin and luteolin) from citrus fruits for additional antioxidant support. These plant bioflavonoids also enhance vitamin C&#x2019;s effectiveness.&#x2020;Each one-scoop serving provides over 2,000% of the daily value for vitamin C. This essential vitamin supports numerous healthy conditions. Healthy immunity, skin, hair, nails, detoxification, and proper histamine metabolism are not possible without vitamin C.&#x2020;This potent formula contains a well-tolerated and buffered form of vitamin C. Adding calcium and magnesium as buffers helps to reduce the GI side effects some people experience from high vitamin C doses. In conjunction with the bioflavonoid blend, the buffered form mimics the form of vitamin C found in nature for efficient utilization by the body.&#x2020;Bioflavonoids are found naturally with vitamin C in citrus fruits and other food sources. When taken alongside vitamin C, bioflavonoids enhance vitamin C&#x2019;s activity and provide synergistic benefits. Quercetin and luteolin enhance the cellular activity of vitamin C. These plant compounds also support healthy inflammation responses, antioxidant defenses, respiratory health, histamine metabolism, and cellular communication.&#x2020;Vitamin C Plus supports healthy:&#x2020;<ul><li>Aging and vitality</li><li>Antioxidant levels</li><li>Collagen production</li><li>Connective tissue and cartilage formation</li><li>DAO production</li><li>Detoxification</li><li>Enzyme function</li><li>Glutathione recycling</li><li>Histamine metabolism</li><li>Immune system function</li><li>Mast cell stabilization</li><li>Skin, hair, and nails</li><li>Wound repair</li></ul>People love getting their daily vitamin C from this convenient buffered C powder.
