Big Friends Chewable C
This is a delicious way for children (and adults too) to
get their daily vitamin C. Big Friends Jr. Chewable vitamin C is made from 100%
natural fruit and includes vitamin-C enhancing bioflavonoids as well as
hesperidin and rutin. Vitamin C is necessary to maintaining all collagen
structures, thereby promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy
gums. As a powerful antioxidant it protects the aqueous areas of the body
(including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free
radicals. Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and also helps to
regenerate vitamin E.
As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not store vitamin C, so regular
supplementation is vital.
Natural Factors includes bioflavonoids in their vitamin C products.
Bioflavonoids (vitamin-like molecules that are found in the peel of citrus
fruits and other fruits and vegetables) enhance the activity of vitamin C and
may improve the body's ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by 35%.
