Bioflavonoids
Exir was one of the first companies to incorporate and use these potent nutraceutical’s in our formula. We have acknowledged not only their value, but also their synergistic interaction with Vitamin C especially in relationship to circulatory wellbeing. Maximum absorption is achieved by decelerating release over a time where high levels of Vitamin C, cause most Vitamin C to be absorbed by receptors. These receptors are in a certain area of the digestive tract at the beginning of the small intestine. Nutrients reach the level where all vitamin C must be available, about four hours after ingestion. Thus, the 8–12-hour time-release mechanisms loses half to two thirds of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids can aid in the prevention, duration and recurrence of viral infections as well as facilitating healing at a cellular level when combined with vitamin C.
Vitamin C, a Valuable Role in Many Biological Functions
Vitamin C is easily the most recognized nutritional substance in the world. In fact, it is difficult to enumerate just how many biological roles it has. It has been clinically linked to immune response, viral infections, collagen production, skin integrity, cellular and antioxidant defense, and various degenerative conditions involving everything from the joints to the eyes.
The body uses Vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, battle viral infections, produce tissue, encourage wound healing, and defeat free radicals. Many clinical studies have proven that vitamin C can decrease the duration of the common cold by 37%.
Citrus Bioflavonoids
Our citrus bioflavonoids have been derived from oranges and lemons. These flavonoids, packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and are capable of inhibiting retroviruses can help with vitamin C absorption. The healing process can speed up by citrus bioflavonoids and reduce inflammation and choline citrate, which breaks down fat and removes waste from the body. Tendons and ligaments contain high levels of calcium and phosphorus and so these trace elements are essential for good health.
Zinc
Zinc is used by the body on many levels, from the growth of hair follicles to DNA synthesis. Zinc is also responsible for a variety of biological processes, including strengthening the immune system’s white blood cells, which use zinc to produce antibodies to battle viral infections.
