Discover the Health Benefits of Vitamin C Complete
Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant. Like all other essential vitamins, humans cannot synthesize Vitamin C and must absorb it from foods that are consumed. Vitamin C is water soluble meaning that humans must ingest it in large quantities.
Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables and is critical to stimulating and supporting many biological functions. Although Vitamin C deficiency is not often a problem for those living in Western countries (like the United States and Canada), many individuals have harnessed the protective and rejuvenating effects of Vitamin C by supplementing with MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete. Vitamin C plays a significant role in the production of collagen, which is the fibrous constitute of the skin, tendon, bones, cartilage, and all other connective tissue. Supplementing with Vitamin C supports the body’s ability to repair tissues, heal wounds, and maintain healthy skin, bones, and nails.
Humans undergo oxidative stress as a result of the build-up of free radicals in the body. Free radicals are formed as reactive by-products of ATP production or from toxins in the environment. Oxidative stress is damaging to all cells and promotes the development of many chronic and degenerative diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, aging, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Vitamin C supplementation helps the body’s natural ability to reduce free radicals in the body and naturally detox.
Citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin are plant-derived compounds with antioxidant properties that function synergistically with Vitamin C to counteract the oxidation of free radicals and reduce toxicity in the body. Bioflavonoids increase the bioavailability of Vitamin C. Without the addition of citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin, as is in MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete, other Vitamin C supplements may not offer the same or offer a reduced antioxidant activity level.
Vitamin C has also been found to be antihypertensive and lower serum LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations; thereby, reducing one’s risk for heart disease, and vitamin C enhances the bioavailability of iron.
MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete works with the body’s natural defense system and metabolism to increase immunity, nourish and repair tissues, and ward off diseases.

MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete delivers 1,000 mg of Vitamin C as calcium ascorbate, a form of Vitamin C that is gentle on the stomach and easier to digest.
Vitamin C supplements generally provide Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid. Although acid in the gastric system helps to digest food, too much acid in the digestive tract may lead to heartburn, bloating, belching, and flatulence. High quality Vitamin C sources, like MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete help prevent this gastric upset.
The blend of citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin with Vitamin C in MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete enhances the activity of Vitamin C in the body to help stabilize mast cells or cells responsible for the secretion of histamine linked to allergies and counteract the damage of oxidative stress. Additionally, MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete offers the most comprehensive bioflavonoid profile available, drawing from multiple citrus sources: orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, and grapefruit.
Without the addition of citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin, as is in MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete, other Vitamin C supplements may not offer the same or offer a reduced antioxidant activity level. Knowledge about vitamin bioavailability from vitamin supplements is essential for the estimation of dietary requirements and to gain optimal effects. If combined with bioflavonoids, most other citrus bioflavonoid complexes available in the market are extracted solely from orange.
MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete is free of sugar; salt; dairy; eggs; peanuts; tree nuts; shellfish; yeast; wheat; gluten; corn; preservatives; titanium dioxide, and artificial colors and flavors. Additionally, the vegetarian capsule is easier to swallow and digest than traditional tablet delivery forms.
Other common Vitamin C supplements contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives, binders, and coatings, such as cellulose gel, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, and polyethylene glycol. Without knowing where additional ingredients are sourced from, they may be chemically-derived or not suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Ingredient Breakdown
Vitamin C
Calcium ascorbate is the calcium salt of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), which is a gentle form of ingesting Vitamin C because it is buffered with calcium.
Citrus Bioflavonoids
Bioflavonoids that offer the most comprehensive bioflavonoid profile available drawing from multiple citrus sources: orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, and grapefruit. Formulated to total ORAC FN value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) measuring specific antioxidant activity against the most influential free radicals naturally found in the human body: hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, and superoxide anion.
Quercetin
Quercetin, in the form of dihydrate, is the most concentrated form of the plant flavonoid. Quercetin is derived from the Japanese Pagoda.

Free radicals are reactive by-products of ATP production, which is the biological process of metabolism. Humans undergo the process of oxidation more during bouts of exercise, which causes more free radicals to accumulate in the body. In addition, humans are also exposed to toxins in the environment such as pollutants in the air or chemicals in food, which also contribute to the accumulation of free radicals in the body. High concentrations of free radicals cause oxidative stress which is damaging to all cells and promotes the development of many chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer, arthritis, aging, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Vitamin C is also a powerful, natural antioxidant. Citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin are plant-derived compounds with antioxidant properties that function synergistically with Vitamin C to counteract the oxidation of free radicals and reduce toxicity in the body. Vitamin C has also been found to be antihypertensive and lower serum LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations; thereby, reducing one’s risk for heart disease, and Vitamin C enhances the bioavailability of iron.

Free radicals are reactive by-products of ATP production, which is the biological process of metabolism. When exposed to toxins in the environment such as pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation, and medication, the human body may also produce free radicals. High concentrations of free radicals cause oxidative stress, which is damaging to all cells and promotes the development of many chronic and degenerative diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, aging, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, the body undergoes more oxidative stress during bouts of exercise.
Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize free radicals and minimize damage to cells. However, because the process of destroying free radicals is the oxidation of the antioxidant, they must constantly be replenished, which is why it is advantageous to supplement with Vitamin C. Vitamin C supplements enhance the body’s natural ability to minimize the damage caused by oxidative stress and boost the immune system.
It is recommended that humans intake at least 80 mg of Vitamin C per day to maintain an optimal pool of the vitamin, which is approximately five servings of fruits or vegetables. However, supplementation with Vitamin C is recommended for maximum saturation. In addition, because highly aerobic tissues undergo greater oxidative stress, they require greater protection in the form of enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity which can be gained from supplementing with vitamin C.
Citrus bioflavonoids and quercetin are plant-derived compounds with antioxidant properties that function synergistically with Vitamin C to counteract the oxidation of free radicals and reduce toxicity in the body. Bioflavonoids increase the bioavailability of Vitamin C by increasing the absorption into the blood plasma making it more available to tissues. MaxLiving Vitamin C Complete is a highly active, rich source of antioxidants.
Vitamin C plays a significant role in the production of collagen, which is the fibrous constitute of the skin, tendon, bones, cartilage, and all other connective tissue. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production by increasing the steady-state level of mRNA of collagen types I and III through enhanced transcription and prolonged half-life of the transcripts. The human epidermis is the initial barrier to oxidant assault and collagen is the target of photoaging, including UV-induced cancers (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma). The epidermis has a higher level of antioxidants than other areas of the body, and the greater antioxidant activity in the epidermis protects humans from photoaging, cutaneous aging, and skin inflammation. Oxidative stress increases with aging because of reduced antioxidant activity. Supplementation with a Vitamin C complex may assist in increasing the antioxidant activity in the epidermis for individuals who wish to reduce the signs of aging in the skin.
Vitamin C reduces high blood pressure and blood serum level, therefore may reduce the risk of heart disease for which those are common precursors. Hypercholesterolemia is a primary risk factor of coronary heart disease, which is a leading cause of premature death and disability in the United States. Vitamin C has been found to have an antihypertensive effect due to its association with a reduction in vascular sensitivity to noradrenaline and enhancement of endothelium-dependent relaxation due to increased nitric oxide bioavailability. In fact, Vitamin C supplementation offers a greater, significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides.
There is no physiological mechanism for iron excretion; thereby, absorption alone regulates the stores of iron in the body; iron must be obtained from foods consumed. Iron metabolism is performed during the breakdown of red blood cells, and there are two sources of dietary iron: nonheme iron and heme iron. Heme iron is better absorbed by the body; however, iron absorption depends on several other factors, including the availability of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C increases the bioavailability of iron in foods that are consumed, not only due to its vital role in the synthesis of red blood cells, but also because vitamin C enhances the reduction of ferric to ferrous iron and reduces the negative effect of iron absorption of inhibitors, such as phytate, polyphenols, and calcium and milk proteins. Furthermore, iron increases the absorption of native and fortification iron. A higher bioavailability of dietary iron can be achieved by increasing the content of food components that enhance iron absorption, such as Vitamin C. Furthermore, nutritional deficiencies have been associated with the development of anemia; increasing Vitamin C intake may help prevent iron deficiency and anemia.
Immune reconstitution is hindered by a delayed T cell regeneration, and Vitamin C supplementation has been found to enhance T cell regeneration by its ability to proliferate and differentiate T cells. T cells assist other white blood cells in immunologic processes.
