Key Benefits of Bio C Plus
Discover Biotics Research Plus™ — Immune Function Support
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. The buffered mixed mineral ascorbates in Bio C Plus provide a gentle yet effective form of vitamin C, helping to maintain a healthy immune response.
Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels. The citrus bioflavonoids in this formula further support vascular integrity, making Bio C Plus a valuable addition to a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Natural Eye Support
The antioxidant network of vitamin C, bioflavonoids, SOD, and catalase helps protect ocular tissues from oxidative stress. This targeted support helps maintain visual health as part of a balanced diet.
Antioxidant Synergy
Unlike standard vitamin C supplements, Bio C Plus includes SOD and catalase, two enzymes that break down superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide. This multi-pronged approach provides comprehensive cellular protection, complementing the antioxidant activity of vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
What Makes Bio C Plus Different?
Bio C Plus from Biotics Research delivers a potent blend of vitamin C as mixed mineral ascorbates, combined with citrus bioflavonoids and the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Unlike simple ascorbic acid, the mixed mineral ascorbate form provides a buffered, non-acidic source of vitamin C, making it gentle on the stomach while offering a full spectrum of mineral cofactors. The addition of citrus bioflavonoids enhances the absorption and activity of vitamin C, while SOD and catalase work together to neutralise free radicals at a cellular level.
Types of Vitamin C Supplements
Vitamin C supplements come in various forms. Ascorbic acid is the most common but can be acidic and cause digestive discomfort. Sodium ascorbate and other mineral ascorbates (calcium, magnesium, potassium) are buffered, making them gentler while providing extra minerals. Liposomal vitamin C uses lipid encapsulation to enhance absorption but is often more expensive. Whole-food sources like acerola vary in potency. Bio C Plus uses mixed mineral ascorbates, combining buffered vitamin C with essential minerals for a well tolerated, sustained release without acidity.
How to Select the Best Vitamin C Supplement
When choosing a vitamin C supplement, consider your digestive tolerance – mixed mineral ascorbates are ideal for sensitive stomachs. Look for synergistic ingredients like bioflavonoids, which improve absorption. The presence of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and catalase extends protective benefits. Check the manufacturer’s quality standards: Biotics Research products are made in a GMP-certified, ISO-certified facility in the USA, with rigorous third-party testing for purity and potency. Ensure the product is free from common allergens – Bio C Plus is gluten-free and contains no artificial additives.
Recommended Dosage and Safety
The recommended dosage for Biotics Research Bio C Plus is typically one to two tablets daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a health care professional. Each bottle contains 100 tablets, providing a 50- to 100-day supply. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is excreted; however, very high doses may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. As with any supplement, consult a health care provider before starting a new regimen, especially if pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
