NOW Foods utilizes calcium ascorbate, a buffered form of vitamin C, and compounds from citrus fruits called bioflavonoids to make its C-500 supplement. Vitamin C is a nutrient that is known for supporting the immune system and for playing a role in collagen production. It also aids in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, the metabolism of amino acids and more. Bioflavonoids are known to protect capillary walls from free radical, or oxidative, damage and environmental stressors. These two ingredients were designed to work synergistically.
