Active-C with Bioflavonoids 1000 mg
The Vitamin Shoppe
Overview
Active-C with Bioflavonoids provides a high dose of Vitamin C along with a blend of minerals and bioflavonoids. While the vitamin C content is beneficial for immune support and antioxidant activity, the effectiveness of the proprietary blend and relatively low doses of other ingredients is less certain. The use of oxide forms of certain minerals also reduces overall effectiveness.
The Good
Provides a high dose of Vitamin C (1000mg), exceeding the daily recommended intake and providing antioxidant and immune support.
Includes citrus bioflavonoids, which may enhance vitamin C absorption and provide additional antioxidant benefits.
Contains mineral ascorbates which may be gentler on the stomach compared to ascorbic acid alone.
The Bad
High dose of Vitamin C may cause gastrointestinal issues in sensitive individuals.
Contains oxide forms of magnesium and zinc which exhibit lower bioavailability compared to other forms.
Limited evidence supporting synergistic effects of the specific combination of ingredients.
Is it for you?
