Nature's Antioxidants: Why Bioflavonoids Matter for Wellness

Bioflavonoids are colorful phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables, and leaves that have powerful medicinal effects. They work in synergy with other nutrients in the plant.

For example, bioflavonoids, when combined with vitamin C, enhance the antioxidant and other beneficial effects of vitamin C. This synergy is exactly why Core Med Science Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Sunflower Formula contains vitamin C with bioflavonoids.

Keep reading as we explore more bioflavonoid benefits for human health. We will discover

• What are bioflavonoids?
• Bioflavonoids benefits
• Vitamin C with bioflavonoids - an essential combination

Let's start with the burning question - what are bioflavonoids, anyway?

What are Bioflavonoids?

Bioflavonoids are a class of phenolic phytonutrients containing over 10,000 different molecules. Bioflavonoids provide pigmentation to plants. Beyond the color, each bioflavonoid has a specific role in plant function, protection, and survival. (Source 1)

Scientists further classify bioflavonoids into subcategories: flavanols, isoflavones, flavan-3-ols, flavanones, and anthocyanidins. Some famous examples include the flavanol quercetin in apples and onions and the flavan-3-ol epigallocatechin from green tea. (Source 2)

Why Try Bioflavonoids?

Bioflavonoids protect plants from the environment and play a similar role when ingested by humans. With antioxidant properties, bioflavonoids protect cells from DNA damage by reducing free radicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation. (Source 3)

"Bioflavonoids protect plants from the environment and play a similar role when ingested by humans. With antioxidant properties, bioflavonoids protect cells from DNA damage by reducing free radicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation."

Various bioflavonoids play protective and healing roles in the body, aiding in:

• Cell protection
• Cardiovascular health protection (including from heart disease)
• Brain protection
• Immune system support
• Metabolic support
• Gut health support
• Pain management
• And more! (Source 1, 4)

Bioflavonoids are one reason a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower incidence of chronic disease and mortality. (Source 5)

Benefits of Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, widely found in fruits and vegetables, and essential for human health. It's a popular supplement for immunity, allergies, acne, collagen production, and overall health.

Nature packages vitamin C and bioflavonoids together in the same plants and foods. For example, oranges contain vitamin C and hesperidin, a flavanone. Blueberries are rich in vitamin C and various anthocyanidins, flavan-3-ols, and flavanols. (Source 1, 6)

Because bioflavonoids interact and synergize with vitamin C, vitamin C supplements with bioflavonoids may be more effective than vitamin C on its own.

"Because bioflavonoids interact and synergize with vitamin C, vitamin C supplements with bioflavonoids may be more effective than vitamin C on its own."

Core Med Science recognizes this synergy. We formulate our vitamin C supplement with bioflavonoids for enhanced results. Further, because vitamin C powders can be poorly absorbed and cause gastrointestinal side effects, our formula utilizes liposomal technology for superior absorption and bioavailability without discomfort.

Core Med Science Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Sunflower Formula delivers 1000 mg of vitamin C per serving along with bioflavonoids and essential phospholipids from sunflowers. Powerful antioxidants like vitamin C have many health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, protecting against free radicals, and supporting a normal immune response.

The liposomal delivery system in the Core Med Science Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid Sunflower Formula mimics the body's cell membranes to promote maximum utilization and benefit. If you're taking vitamin C for immune support, collagen formation, or general wellness, you'll want the most effective option, and this is it!

Now that you understand how bioflavonoids benefits are essential for your health, increase bioflavonoids in your diet with colorful plant foods, and seek supplements that combine vitamin C and natural bioflavonoids to achieve your wellness goals.
