Stellar C™ 90vcap - Designs for Health

Stellar C™ by Designs for Health is a formula that combines vitamin C with plant-derived bioflavonoids, recognized for their role in strengthening the immune system.
Although vitamin C is widely associated with immunity, this nutrient performs many other essential functions in the body, particularly in the proper formation of collagen — one of the most abundant proteins in the human body and the primary constituent of bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is naturally present in many fruits and vegetables, and in small amounts in some organ meats.
Nobel laureate Dr. Linus Pauling believed that traditional recommendations for vitamin C intake were insufficient and that most people would benefit from higher doses than those obtained from diet alone.

Factors such as stress, smoking, illness, use of oral contraceptives, certain medications, and the natural aging process increase the need for vitamin C.
Furthermore, glucose and vitamin C compete for absorption and utilization in the body, so individuals with high carbohydrate consumption may benefit from additional vitamin C supplementation.

Bioflavonoids

In nature, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are found together, as they act synergistically — for example, oranges are rich in both vitamin C and the bioflavonoid hesperidin.
Including bioflavonoids in this formula improves the absorption and utilization of vitamin C, in addition to helping to protect it from oxidation.

The three bioflavonoids present in Stellar C™ by Designs for Health — quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin — stand out for their antioxidant, protective, and immune-supportive properties, as well as for aiding in a healthy inflammatory response during periods of intense exercise or prolonged physical exertion.
Together with vitamin C, they help protect and maintain the integrity of blood capillaries and veins.

Additional highlights

• Quercetin: known as the “king of flavonoids” due to its powerful antioxidant effect and ability to promote a balanced inflammatory response.
  It is found in health-promoting foods such as red onions, apples, olive oil, berries, grapes, leafy greens, and herbs (e.g., dill, cilantro, and radicchio).
  Furthermore, it is an excellent support for the immune system, especially during periods of seasonal upper respiratory challenges.
• Hesperidin: a powerful, though less well-known, bioflavonoid found in oranges and grapefruit, especially in the white part of the peel (albedo).
• Rutin: a natural antioxidant found in asparagus, citrus fruits, dark berries, plums, and dried persimmons.
