Vitamin C is the most important water-soluble antioxidant. Humans, unlike most other mammals, cannot manufacture vitamin C, so we must obtain it from food or nutritional supplements. Vitamin C is concentrated in the adrenal glands where it is crucial for the production of adrenal hormones involved in responding to stress.* The body uses vitamin C for immune system functions including white blood cell production, histamine release and degradation, reduction of glutathione, and the metabolism and protection of several other nutrients.* It is involved in the production of collagen and elastin, important connective tissue proteins.* Vitamin C may also support HDL cholesterol within normal levels, and bone mineral density.*

Berries, in particular, contain high levels of polyphenols and demonstrate a wide array of antioxidant activities. The diversity of phytochemicals in whole foods is astonishing and goes far beyond vitamins and minerals. Over 8,000 types of polyphenols have been identified, with clinical research showing significant potential health benefits.* The vibrant color of fruits and berries comes from these various compounds, which includes polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, procyanidines, and resveratrol.

Food intolerance and sensitivites make the injestion of polyphenols from diet difficult for many people. This blended supplement is well tolerated and easy-to-metabolize for many people, making it a way to incorporate these powerful, protective nutrients back into the diet during times of environmental exposures and heightened stress.
