Acerola/Flavonoid is a corn-free, plant-based vitamin C and bioflavonoid formula in vegetarian capsules, made by Pure Encapsulations. It combines vitamin C sourced from natural acerola extract with three complementary bioflavonoids — quercetin, naringin, and rutin — for antioxidant support.
The vitamin C in this formula is sourced from acerola extract derived from the fruit of Malpighia glabra L., providing 32% vitamin C from this natural source. Quercetin is derived from the flower buds of the Fava d'anta tree (Dimorphandra mollis) or the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica). Naringin is derived from Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck. Rutin is derived from the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica). The hypoallergenic plant fiber used as an excipient is derived from pine cellulose.
This formula is intended for adults aged 18 and up seeking antioxidant and immune system support. The bioflavonoids quercetin, rutin, and naringin are described by the manufacturer as powerful free radical scavengers that complement the roles of vitamin C. Vitamin C supports the immune system, in part by helping maintain healthy mast cell function and lymphocyte formation.
Pure Encapsulations formulates this product with high-quality, vegan ingredients. The product is certified gluten-free and Non-GMO, and is free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, gluten, magnesium stearate, artificial colors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, trans fat and hydrogenated oils, and unnecessary binders, fillers, and preservatives.
