Vitamin C and bioflavonoids for immune and antioxidant support*
Vitamin C and bioflavonoids function synergistically and naturally occur in nature together, such as in acerola or citrus fruit. The inclusion of bioflavonoids in this product helps the body properly absorb and use vitamin C, as well as helping vitamin C mitigate the adverse effects of oxidative stress.*

Stellar C™
Synergistic Formula Combining Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) with Plant Bioflavonoids (Quercetin, Hesperidin, and Rutin) for Immune System Support, Antioxidant Status, Collagen Synthesis, Healthy Inflammatory Response, and Capillary and Vein Health*
Key Performance Benefits
- Supports the immune system*
- Facilitates proper construction of collagen for bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels*
- Promotes antioxidant status with synergistic bioflavonoids*
- Supports a healthy inflammatory response during intense exercise or overexertion*
- Helps protect and preserve the structure of blood capillaries and veins*
What This Product Is
Stellar C is a blend of vitamin C and plant bioflavonoids recognized for helping to support the immune system.* While vitamin C is well known for immune support, this nutrient has many other crucial roles in the body, including facilitating proper construction of collagen — one of the body's most abundant proteins and the primary protein in bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.*
Vitamin C and bioflavonoids are found together in nature because they work synergistically. The inclusion of three bioflavonoids — quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin — helps the body properly absorb and use vitamin C and assists in preventing vitamin C from being destroyed by oxidation. All three bioflavonoids are noted for their protective, antioxidative, and immune-supportive properties, as well as their support for a healthy inflammatory response.* When paired with vitamin C, these compounds work together to protect and preserve the structure of blood capillaries and veins.*
Mechanism of Action
Vitamin C for Immune and Collagen Support
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is essential for immune system function and for facilitating the proper construction of collagen.* Stress, smoking, illness, oral contraceptives, certain medications, and aging all increase the need for vitamin C. Additionally, glucose and vitamin C compete for absorption, so individuals with high carbohydrate consumption may benefit from supplementation.
Quercetin, Hesperidin, and Rutin Bioflavonoids
Quercetin — called the "king of the flavonoids" — provides powerful antioxidant properties and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.* Hesperidin, found in oranges and grapefruits, is a potent bioflavonoid. Rutin is an antioxidant found in asparagus, citrus fruits, and dark berries. Together, these three bioflavonoids enhance vitamin C absorption, prevent its oxidation, and provide synergistic immune, antioxidant, and vascular support.*

- Individuals seeking enhanced vitamin C absorption with synergistic bioflavonoids
- Those wanting immune system and collagen synthesis support*
- Athletes needing inflammatory response support during intense exercise*
- Individuals seeking capillary and vein health protection*
- Those wanting comprehensive antioxidant support with vitamin C and flavonoids*

Product Questions
How does Stellar C compare to Quercetin Ascorbate?
Stellar C combines vitamin C with three bioflavonoids (quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin) in capsule form for synergistic immune, antioxidant, collagen, and vascular support.* Quercetin Ascorbate combines vitamin C (1,000 mg) with QuerceSOL™ bioavailable quercetin (240 mg) in an unflavored powder focusing on immune balance, histamine metabolism, and environmental trigger support.* Choose Stellar C for a broader bioflavonoid blend in capsule form, or Quercetin Ascorbate for higher-dose vitamin C with enhanced quercetin bioavailability in powder format.*
Why are bioflavonoids important with vitamin C?
Vitamin C and bioflavonoids are found together in nature because they work synergistically. The bioflavonoids in Stellar C help the body properly absorb and use vitamin C and assist in preventing vitamin C from being destroyed by oxidation. This synergy provides more effective vitamin C utilization than vitamin C supplements alone.
Who may benefit most from Stellar C?
Individuals seeking immune system support with enhanced vitamin C absorption, those wanting collagen synthesis support for bones, skin, tendons, and blood vessels, athletes needing inflammatory response support during intense exercise, and anyone wanting comprehensive antioxidant and vascular protection with synergistic vitamin C and bioflavonoids.*
