Why is vitamin C combined with hesperidin and rutin in this complex – what is the point of such a formula? — Vitamin C + Hesperidin + Rutin Capsules No.60 - OstroVit

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is a well-studied nutrient: it takes part in protecting cells from oxidative stress, supports the immune system and is necessary for the synthesis of collagen, a protein important for the skin, blood vessels, gums and connective tissue.

Hesperidin and rutin are bioflavonoids of plant origin. Hesperidin is obtained from bitter orange, and rutin from Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica) extract. Both substances are traditionally included in antioxidant and vascular complexes: hesperidin is often found in citrus formulas, while rutin is valued in formulas that support the vascular system.

The point of such a combination is a wider range of action compared with vitamin C on its own. The capsule form allows you to take the complex without preparing drinks or dissolving powders, which is convenient on a busy schedule.

Such a product may suit people who want to supplement their diet with antioxidants and prefer combined formulas with plant extracts to separate single-ingredient supplements. It is not a substitute for a balanced diet and is not intended for the treatment or prevention of diseases.
