Lamberts Rutin and Vitamin C plus Bioflavonoids tablets are yellow coated tablets that provide the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C plus bioflavonoids which help absorption of vitamin C in the body. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids occur naturally together in nature. One of the richest sources of this combination is found in the pulp and rind of citrus fruits and vegetables. Rutin is a flavonoid found in buckwheat.

Bioflavonoids are organic plant pigments that appear to assist in the availability and use of Vitamin C, and are particularly important in maintaining the strength of blood vessels since they support collagen integrity. Some bioflavonoids have antioxidant capabilities rather like vitamin C, and have been shown in vitro to protect both vitamin C and adrenalin from oxidation by copper containing enzymes.

Vitamin C:

• Is involved in cell and the repair of tissues.
• It is involved in the conversion of proline (an amino acid) to hydroxyproline (a non-essential amino acid necessary for the construction collagen).
• Essential in collagen maintenance in skin, bones and teeth.
• Is required for the activity of leucocytes, immunoglobulins and natural antibodies.
• Protects vitamins A and E against damage.
• Helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
• Is involved in the formation of corticosteroid hormones in the adrenal gland.
