NO. 2 Immunity Trios Set: C Plus + R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid +Natural Quercetin

C Plus

Product Information

Hypoallergenic vitamin C with bioflavonoids (90 tablets)

C-Plus, derived from ascorbic acid from which corn allergens have been removed, also contains bioflavonoids and is a perfect hypoallergenic choice for supplementation with the vitamin C complex. Flavonoids such as rutin and hesperidin as well as those from citrus sources frequently occur with vitamin C in nature, and appear to improve its bioavailability and complement its actions in the body. Flavonoids are useful in their own right as antioxidants and stabilizers of vascular permeability and capillary integrity. C-Plus includes generous amounts of flavonoids, unlike many other vitamin C complex formulas.

Manufacturing Upgrade: In order to better preserve the potency of ascorbic acid and convenience of swallowing, this batch of production has added small amount of vegetable cellulose, which caused the lighter color and mild taste of tablets. The formulation and potency of this product still remains as before. 

Bioflavonoids and vitamin C have been used in human studies to facilitate normal reparative activities in various body tissues (Med Times 1962;90:529-32; Med Times 1960;88: 313-314).
Flavonoids such as rutin and hesperidin, often combined with vitamin C, support normal vascular permeability and healthy capillary integrity (Int Angiol 1994;13:259-62; Int Angiol 1993;12:69-72; Delaware State Med J 1959;Jan:19-22; Am J Med Sci 1946;211:539-43).

R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid

the most active form of alpha-lipoic acid

• supports neurological function*
• antioxidant in both water- and fat-soluble tissues*
• essential for liver, eye, and nerve health*
• the form of supplemental lipoic acid found in highest concentration in the bloodstream

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) contains two forms – designated as R-lipoic acid (R-ALA) and S-lipoic acid (S-ALA) – that are mirror images of each other. Naturally occurring ALA is in the R form, where it functions as an essential cofactor for many enzymes involved in energy production.* In addition, R-lipoic acid has important characteristics – significant antioxidant effects in particular – that contribute to liver, nerve, and eye health.*

Dietary supplements of ALA are generally comprised either of R-ALA by itself or a mixture of R-ALA and S-ALA. Studies indicate the R-ALA form appears to be better absorbed, with twice as much R-ALA than S-ALA appearing in the bloodstream after an oral dose.* Hence, R-ALA is the best form utilized by the body.*

Product Details

Quercetin is a type of plant compound called a flavonoid (a fancy name for a plant pigment) that contributes to the natural, vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables like apples, onions, berries, and tea. Flavonoids function as antioxidants, seeking out damaging free radicals and neutralizing them.* Free radicals are caused by the daily oxidative stress placed on our bodies, and they are linked to cellular damage, accelerated aging, and chronic health conditions.

Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome offers the antioxidant benefits of a flavonoid, as well as its immune-supporting properties and the ability to support a healthy inflammatory response, which provides a range of health-promoting benefits.*

As a natural compound, quercetin is typically characterized by poor absorption into the bloodstream, which is why the quercetin used in Thorne products is provided as a quercetin phytosome. A quercetin phytosome complex enhances the benefits of quercetin by utilizing phytosome technology to optimize the nutrient’s bioavailability. Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome is up to 20 times more bioavailable than quercetin extract alone, for maximum benefit from a smaller amount.*
