Uses For Acerola/Flavonoid

Various Physiological Support Properties: The antioxidant and free radical scavenging power of vitamin C offers a wide range of support for the human body. It supports the body's defense system by enhancing white blood cell function and increasing interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells and converts folic acid to its active forms. It has histamine-lowering properties, increases lymphocyte formation, and is required for the synthesis of carnitine. Additionally, acerola extract provides a broad spectrum of other vitamins and minerals allowing for enhanced nutritional support. Bioflavonoids provide complementary antioxidant and immune modulating support.*
