The humble Vitamin C is often overlooked as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Used for centuries to help speed the recovery from the common cold and help prevent other diseases such as scurvy, vitamin C is also an essential building block for the formation of collagen in the skin.
Although Vitamin C can be taken on its own as ascorbic acid, this formula uniquely binds it to Zinc as Zinc ascorbate for extra immune support and magnesium as magnesium ascorbate, another mineral commonly deficient in our modern-day diets.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that is best taken alongside Vitamin C and is an excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and possesses anti-allergic effects. Emerging evidence suggests that quercetin’s anti-allergenic effects may be due to reducing inflammation and inhibiting the production of histamine associated with allergies.
Vitamin C and Zinc are two important nutrients considered in preconception health, especially for healthy sperm.
