Blackmores Buffered C Slow Release has been specially formulated to provide a prolonged rate of absorption by releasing nutrients slowly over a sustained 8 hour period, ensuring that vitamin C is available when your body needs it. It also contains bioflavonoids, including rutin and hesperidin. The human body does not manufacture its own vitamin C and so it must be sourced from our diet. If dietary intake is low or an individual's need is particularly high, vitamin supplementation may be of benefit. Vitamin C is involved in many of biological processes and involved in the manufacture of collagen, an important protein in the body to maintain healthy bones.
