Unique Formulation: Mixed Mineral Ascorbates, Bioflavonoids, SOD & Catalase
Bio C Plus from Biotics Research delivers vitamin C in a specialised, stomach-friendly form. Unlike standard ascorbic acid, mixed mineral ascorbates are buffered with calcium, magnesium, and potassium, making them gentler on the digestive system. This formula also includes citrus bioflavonoids—extracted from citrus fruits—which work synergistically with vitamin C to enhance absorption and antioxidant activity. Added superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase provide a broader spectrum of antioxidant defence, targeting oxidative stress at multiple levels. This comprehensive combination reflects Biotics Research’s philosophy: "The Best of Science and Nature."
Key Benefits of Bio C Plus
Immune System Support
Vitamin C is well-recognized for its role in maintaining healthy immune function. Bio C Plus provides a potent antioxidant boost that helps the body maintain natural defenses and respond effectively to everyday environmental stressors.
Cardiovascular Health
Adequate vitamin C intake supports the relaxation of blood vessels, promoting healthy circulation and overall cardiovascular function.
Eye Health
As we age, the eyes are exposed to oxidative stress from UV light and lifestyle factors. The combination of mixed mineral ascorbates and citrus bioflavonoids in Bio C Plus helps maintain ocular health and protects against age-related vision changes.
Comprehensive Antioxidant Protection
Beyond vitamin C, this formula includes SOD and catalase—two naturally occurring enzymes that neutralize free radicals and help maintain the body’s oxidative balance.
What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own—it must come from diet or supplementation. Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, vitamin C protects cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, supports the immune system, and aids in collagen synthesis for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Bio C Plus provides a highly absorbable form of vitamin C to help meet your daily needs.
How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement
When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the form and supporting ingredients. Mineral ascorbates are better tolerated than ascorbic acid, especially at higher doses. Bioflavonoids improve efficacy, and added antioxidants like SOD and catalase offer extra protection. Look for products made in a GMP-certified facility with third party purity testing. Biotics Research Bio C Plus is manufactured in a Texas Department of Health licensed, GMP-certified facility and tested in an ISO-certified laboratory. It is gluten-free, made in the United States, and suitable for those with sensitive digestion.
Recommended Dosage and Safety
The typical serving is 1 to 2 tablets daily, preferably with a meal. Individual needs may vary, so consult your healthcare practitioner for personalised advice. Vitamin C is generally safe, but high doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. The buffered mineral ascorbate form in Bio C Plus reduces this likelihood. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended serving unless directed by a qualified health care provider. This product is a natural health product.
