Hesperidin and Vitamin C: A Natural Combination

Some supplement combinations feel invented by marketing departments.

This one already exists in an orange.

Hesperidin and vitamin C naturally occur together in citrus fruit.

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin.

Hesperidin is a citrus bioflavonoid with antioxidant properties that continues to attract nutritional research.

They’re different compounds, but their natural association explains why citrus bioflavonoids are frequently included in vitamin C formulas.

There’s another consideration if you’re taking vitamin C regularly: acidity.

Plain ascorbic acid is acidic.

A buffered vitamin C formula partly neutralises that acidity with minerals, making a daily vitamin C drink gentler for many people.

Combine buffered vitamin C with hesperidin and you get a formula inspired by citrus, rather than simply another scoop of isolated ascorbic acid.

Vitamin C plus the citrus compound it naturally travels with.
