More Info Vitamin C is the most important water-soluble antioxidant. Humans, unlike most other mammals, cannot manufacture vitamin C, so we must obtain it from food or nutritional supplements. Vitamin C is concentrated in the adrenal glands where it is crucial for the production of adrenal hormones involved in responding to stress.* The body uses vitamin C for immune system functions including white blood cell production, histamine release and degradation, reduction of glutathione, and the metabolism and protection of several other nutrients.* It is involved in the production of collagen and elastin, important connective tissue proteins.* Vitamin C may also support HDL cholesterol within normal levels, and bone mineral density. Fruit extracts and concentrates from grape, cranberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry make up more than 30% of Polyphenol-C® 500. Berries in particular contain high levels of polyphenols which demonstrate an array of antioxidant activities.
