Tru-C BioComplex
Vitabase
Overview
Tru-C BioComplex offers a combination of Vitamin C with supporting bioflavonoids and extracts, which theoretically enhance absorption and provide broader antioxidant benefits. While the Vitamin C dose is effective, the doses of the other beneficial compounds, particularly Rutin and Grape Seed Extract, are below clinically studied ranges for their primary benefits, potentially limiting the comprehensive effectiveness of the 'BioComplex' aspect.
The Good
Provides a good dose of non-synthetic, fruit-derived Vitamin C (400mg per serving).
Includes Organic Amla Extract, which is a potent natural source of Vitamin C and beneficial polyphenols.
Free from common allergens and undesirable additives (sugar, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, preservatives).
The Bad
Serving amounts for Rutin, Rose Hips, and Grape Seed Extract are lower than those typically found to be clinically effective for specific targeted benefits.
Potential for consumers to expect broader 'BioComplex' benefits that may not be fully realized due to sub-optimal dosing of certain ingredients.
Label does not specify the standardization of the plant extracts (e.g., percentage of active compounds), making it difficult to assess potency beyond the raw weight.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking general immune support, those looking for antioxidant benefits
Skip If: You have specific allergies to common supplement ingredients or are on medications that interact with Vitamin C; consult a healthcare provider if pregnant or nursing.
