While most mammals can synthesize vitamin C, humans lack the enzyme required to create our own vitamin C, and so we must obtain this vitamin from our diet.

The primary function of vitamin C is to help manufacture collagen, the main structural protein of connective tissues in the human body.  Vitamin C is also crucial in a variety of biological functions, particularly the immune system, skin, blood vessels, arteries and gums, as well as brain health.  

Peekay's Vitamin C is a formula that combines vitamin C with various bioflavonoids to mirror the way vitamin C is found in nature. It also supports healthy inflammation levels throughout the body.

Peekay’s Vitamin C provides 400 mg vitamin C, 100 mg acerola extract, 70 mg quercetin, 50 mg Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex, 50 mg hibiscus and 50 mg rutin in an easy-to-take capsule form.

This supplement is free from gluten, corn, yeast, artificial colors, and flavors, making it a clean, allergen-friendly option for daily wellness.

Suggested Use

1-4 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

What Do We Want?

While true deficiency in vitamin C is rare (the most severe form of deficiency is known as scurvy), evidence suggests that many people may have low levels of vitamin C, especially those under high amounts of stress and low dietary fruit and vegetable intake. Signs of deficiency include dry and splitting hair, bleeding gums, dry or scaly skin and easy bruising. Those taking NSAIDs, aluminum-based antacids, oral contraceptives, barbiturates, tetracycline and Coumadin are more susceptible to depletion of vitamin C.

Immune Support

Vitamin C has long been recognized for its role in supporting the immune system, specifically T cells, which absorb and concentrate vitamin C. Supplementation with vitamin C has also been shown to support immune response to seasonal challenges by supporting natural killer cells, lymphocyte proliferation, chemotaxis and delayed-type hypersensitivity.

Inflammatory Balance

Vitamin C plays a key role in maintaining normal inflammatory balance. Supplementation with vitamin C has been shown to support microbial balance in the gastric mucosa by promoting an environment where healthy microflora can thrive, enhancing the absorption of other key nutrients.

Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are a group of naturally occurring plant pigments that provide the colors of many fruits and flowers. Flavonoid intake is associated with improved cardiovascular health and microbial balance. Bioflavonoids are used to support connective tissue and joint comfort, as well as respiratory and eye health.

Citrus bioflavonoids have also been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, impart neuroprotective effects and promote healthy cell growth, detoxification enzymes, vasodilation, platelet function, and a balanced inflammatory response.
