Source Naturals C-B-R – Vitamin C & Bioflavonoid Complex – 500 Tablets

Why Combine Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids?

In nature, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are almost always found together – in citrus fruits, berries and other plants. Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are a diverse group of phytonutrients that complement vitamin C’s actions. They may help stabilise vitamin C, enhance its absorption and provide additional antioxidant support. For example, the bioflavonoid quercetin has been studied for its ability to support immune cell function. By choosing a complex that includes both nutrients, you get a more holistic approach to wellness.

Source Naturals C-B-R provides a balanced ratio of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) and citrus bioflavonoids, offering the synergistic benefits found in whole foods.

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to several key functions in the body:

• Immune Support: Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, your body’s first line of defence.
• Antioxidant Protection: It helps neutralise free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Collagen Formation: Essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that provides structure to skin, bones and connective tissues.
• Iron Absorption: Enhances the absorption of non-haem iron from plant foods, important for maintaining healthy blood.

The addition of bioflavonoids in C-B-R may further support these benefits by improving vitamin C utilisation and offering their own antioxidant properties. Research suggests that bioflavonoids can help maintain capillary health and support the body’s natural inflammatory response.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient your body cannot produce on its own. It plays a critical role in immune function, collagen formation and the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. As a potent antioxidant, it helps neutralise free radicals – unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and contribute to cellular ageing. The combination of vitamin C with bioflavonoids, as found in Source Naturals C-B-R, mimics nature’s design. Bioflavonoids are plant compounds that work synergistically with vitamin C to enhance its antioxidant activity and support overall wellness.

Many people turn to vitamin C supplements during seasonal changes or periods of increased stress to maintain their body’s natural defences. With 500 tablets per bottle, Source Naturals offers a convenient and economical way to incorporate this vital nutrient into your daily routine.

How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the following factors:

• Dosage: 500 mg per tablet is a standard amount that can be adjusted based on individual needs.
• Form: Ascorbic acid with bioflavonoids offers a balanced approach.
• Purity: Source Naturals C-B-R contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, soy or wheat. It is free from preservatives and artificial colours, flavours or fragrances.
• Manufacturing Standards: Made in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility, ensuring quality and safety.
• Brand Trust: Source Naturals has been a trusted name in supplements since 1982, known for commitment to quality.

For those with allergies or dietary restrictions, the allergen-free formulation makes this supplement a suitable choice.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. The most common is ascorbic acid, a potent and well-absorbed form used in Source Naturals C-B-R. Other forms include sodium ascorbate (a buffered option for sensitive stomachs) and liposomal vitamin C (designed for enhanced absorption). Whole-food sources like acerola cherry or camu camu are also available. While ascorbic acid is effective for most people, those with digestive sensitivity may prefer a buffered form. Source Naturals chooses ascorbic acid for its stability and bioavailability, combined with bioflavonoids to support its activity.

The tablet form is convenient for daily use, and 500 tablets provide a long-lasting supply. Each tablet delivers 500 mg of vitamin C along with citrus bioflavonoids, making it easy to meet your daily recommended intake.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The suggested use is one tablet daily, preferably with food. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess amounts are excreted in urine. However, taking more than 2,000 mg per day may cause digestive discomfort. Always consult with a health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication.
