A premium Vitamin C product enhanced with highly bioavailable Bio-Quercetin for superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, though its high cost limits broad appeal.

Analysis

This product distinguishes itself by combining 500mg of Ascorbic Acid with Bio-Quercetin Phytosome, a specialized form of quercetin designed for superior absorption. Quercetin is a powerful bioflavonoid known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, making this supplement particularly beneficial for targeted support in these areas. While the 500mg Vitamin C dose is standard, the synergistic action with quercetin elevates its potential impact. However, the price point of 32 cents per serving is significantly higher than most Vitamin C supplements, positioning it as a premium option for those prioritizing enhanced benefits and specific ingredient delivery over cost-effectiveness. The relatively low review count suggests a smaller, possibly more specialized, user base.

Pros
  • Includes Bio-Quercetin Phytosome, significantly enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Bio-Quercetin is highly bioavailable due to the phytosome delivery system.
  • Synergistic action of Vitamin C and Quercetin for broader health benefits.
Cons
  • Extremely high price per serving, making it cost-prohibitive for many users.
  • Lower review count compared to more popular Vitamin C supplements.
  • Uses standard Ascorbic Acid, which may still be acidic for some sensitive stomachs despite premium additions.
