Frequently Asked Questions
How does Vitamin C help improve skin health?
It acts as a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals from UV and pollution, preventing premature aging and dark spots. It is also essential for collagen synthesis, improving firmness, elasticity, and reducing fine lines.
Why is a multi‑form Vitamin C complex better than straight ascorbic acid?
It’s gentler on skin and stomach because buffered forms (sodium/calcium ascorbate) have neutral pH. Its more stable and degrades slower, preserving potency longer. The bioflavonoids enhance absorption and prolong Vitamin C’s presence in skin for improved antioxidant activity.
Can Vitamin C help with sun damage and photoaging?
Absolutely. A combination of ascorbic acid with citrus bioflavonoids has been shown to reduce the effects of UV exposure by neutralizing free radicals and calming inflammation, leading to less sun-induced aging, hyperpigmentation, and redness.
Will bioflavonoids in Vitamin C complex strengthen capillaries and reduce bruising?
Yes. Citrus bioflavonoids (like hesperidin, rutin, quercetin) target the small blood vessels under the skin. They help strengthen capillary walls, reduce permeability, and decrease bruising or redness—especially helpful for those prone to capillary fragility, rosacea, or easy bruising.
Are buffered vitamin C forms better for maintaining collagen & hydration?
Yes, while L-ascorbic acid is highly effective, it's unstable and acidic. Adding calcium and sodium ascorbates, which are more stable and neutral in pH, provides sustained Vitamin C delivery and hydration benefits. Bioflavonoids further support tissue hydration by reinforcing connective structures in the skin.
