Natural Factors Big Friends Vitamin C Tangy Orange. This is a delicious way for children to get their daily vitamin C. Big Friends Jr. Chewable vitamin C is made from 100% natural fruit and includes vitamin-C enhancing bioflavonoids as well as hesperidin and rutin. Vitamin C is necessary to maintaining all collagen structures, thereby promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy gums. As a powerful antioxidant it protects the aqueous areas of the body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free radicals. Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and also helps to regenerate vitamin E.

As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not store vitamin C, so regular supplementation is vital.

Natural Factors includes bioflavonoids in their vitamin C products. Bioflavonoids (vitamin-like molecules that are found in the peel of citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables) enhance the activity of vitamin C and may improve the body`s ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by 35%.
