Vitamin C + Bioflavonoids

Why this matters

The body cannot produce vitamin C
and cannot store it in large amounts. It must be supplied regularly.

Vitamin C is consumed rapidly during immune activation and under sustained stress. For people who travel frequently and sleep irregularly, daily demand is consistently higher than most diets reliably provide.

What happens in the body

Vitamin C is essential for the production and function of white blood cells. It is also a primary antioxidant, it neutralises free radicals generated during sustained cognitive and physical work.

Bioflavonoids slow vitamin C's breakdown in the body, extending how long it remains active at the tissue level. They also add their own anti-inflammatory activity.
Consistent daily intake matters more than occasional high doses. Water-soluble vitamins are excreted when unused, regular supply is more effective than sporadic supplementation.

When this becomes relevant

During and after travel, when immune challenge is high and sleep has been disrupted.
During high-demand work periods when oxidative stress is elevated.
Whenever the body is managing multiple stressors at once.
