Natural Factors Vitamin C 500 mg + Bioflavonoids 350 mg

Feature Summary

Natural Factors Balanced C Extra is an immune-support formula that combines the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C with a bioflavonoid complex for enhanced support. Vitamin C is not stored by the body and needs to be consumed daily in order to maintain the levels recommended for overall health. In addition, the body’s need for vitamin C increases during times of stress, such as intense physical activity, illness, antibiotic use, and exposure to pollutants.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that helps in collagen formation, which is needed for the normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. It also helps maintain the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients. Bioflavonoids are found in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Bioflavonoids have been shown to improve the absorption and therapeutic action of vitamin C and protect vitamin C from oxidation in the body. Both vitamin C and bioflavonoids help protect tissues from free radical damage.

Balanced C Extra contains 500 mg of vitamin C blended with citrus bioflavonoids, rutin, rosehips, and hesperidin in each tablet or easy-to-swallow capsule. It contains no preservatives, sweeteners, gluten, or GMOs, and offers a convenient formula for anyone looking for additional immune and antioxidant support.

Uses & Benefits

  • Enhances immune system function

  • Provides powerful antioxidant protection to reduce free radical damage
  • Supports the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients
  • Assists in preventing vitamin C deficiency

Contraindications

  • Vitamin C may increase the absorption of aluminum from aluminum-containing antacids such as AlternaGEL, Amphojel, Basaljel, Nephrox, Maalox, and Mylanta. Take vitamin C at least 2 hours before or after taking one of these products.
  • As this product contains citrus bioflavonoids, there is one caution: bioflavonoids are non toxic, so drug interactions are virtually unknown; however, citrus bioflavonoids contain grapefruit flavonoids that may interact with certain medications.
  • The reason that grapefruit is problematic with certain drugs is that it contains high levels of a flavonoid (plant pigment) called naringin. This substance reduces the activity of a group of P450 enzymes known as CYP3A enzymes. These enzymes are what your body uses to break down certain drugs, such as calcium channel blockers (used in the treatment of high blood pressure), sedatives (for example, midazolam), cyclosporin (an immune suppressant given to people who have received organ transplants) and statins (lipid-lowering drugs).
  • If the drugs are not metabolized, they remain in the body in higher concentrations. This increases the risk of unwanted toxic effects. If taking these drugs, be aware of this effect and consult your health care practitioner.

Recommended Adult Dosage
1 capsule daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of reach of children.
