Sonne's Natural Source Vitamin C No 17. Description: Natural accompanying Synergists. From Acerola: Tropical Island Berry. Plus Wild Spanish Orange. Our Natural Source Vitamin C tablets contain natural vitamin C derived from dehydrated juice of the acerola berry and wild Spanish orange. These food sources provide the vitamin C complex (i.e., bioflavonoids and other synergistic nutrients), factors not present in supplements that use ascorbic acid (chemical form of vitamin C). Our Natural Source Vitamin C has a 100milligrams equivalent of ascorbic acid per serving, supplying 110 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). However, the natural synergy of the vitamin C complex and bioflavonoids provides much more powerful antioxidant activity than synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) does alone. Vitamin C plays an essential role in the formation of collagen, connective tissue that is required for normal maintenance. Vitamin C also functions as an antioxidant, and protects other antioxidants such as selenoproteins, glutathione, and vitamin E from becoming oxidized (inactivated) in the body. Since vitamin C is constantly being utilized, it should be taken in small repeated doses throughout the day. Our chewable tablets are ideal for this purpose, providing easy and rapid absorption of the natural vitamin C complex. Because acerola berry and wild Spanish orange are naturally sour and bitter, we add powdered blackstrap molasses and honey for a tart but pleasant taste.
