Multi-mineral bound vitamin C has so many health benefits. It is an antioxidant; it boosts the immune system, stops cholesterol from building up in your arteries. Vitamin C is not produced by the body, so must be obtained everyday by either adequate servings of fruits and vegetables or supplements. The amount acquired from food coming from over-farmed soil can be considered borderline, and may not promote superior health. In some cases when supplementing ascorbic acid, large amounts can cause diarrhea. This is where mineral ascorbates are better. The mixed form of ascorbates are superior, because the ascorbate salts are bound directly to the minerals which the body recognizes, thus resulting in better absorption. Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments. Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, are often rich sources of bioflavonoids as well. The effect of bioflavonoids on the bioavailability of ascorbic acid has been examined in two published studies.
