Viridian Extra C 550mg

Viridian Extra C 550mg is a high-quality vitamin C supplement delivering 550mg of ascorbic acid per capsule alongside beneficial bioflavonoids from citrus fruits, providing a more complete and synergistic form of vitamin C supplementation. Unlike plain ascorbic acid supplements, this formula reflects how vitamin C naturally occurs in whole foods — always accompanied by flavonoids that enhance its absorption, bioavailability, and antioxidant activity.

Vitamin C is perhaps the best-known and most widely studied vitamin, playing essential roles in numerous physiological processes. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, making it especially valuable during periods of increased immune demand. Vitamin C also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, collagen synthesis for normal function of skin, cartilage, bones, and teeth, enhancement of iron absorption, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and normal psychological function.

As a water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C operates in aqueous environments throughout the body, neutralising free radicals and regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamin E. It also supports the adrenal glands during periods of physical or emotional stress, as the adrenal glands have one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C in the body.

The 550mg dose in this formulation makes it suitable for daily maintenance of vitamin C levels or as a moderate therapeutic dose. The bioflavonoids, including hesperidin and rutin from citrus peel, enhance the activity and stability of vitamin C. Each capsule contains 100% active ingredients, is free from artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK by Viridian.
