Spectrum C

Comprehensive Vitamin C & Bioflavonoid Formula for Immune, Antioxidant, and Vascular Support

With Quercetin, Rutin, and Hesperidin | 90 Capsules

Description

Spectrum C combines a potent dose of vitamin C with a synergistic blend of plant-derived bioflavonoids — including quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin — to support immune health, antioxidant defense, and connective tissue strength.

While vitamin C is widely recognized for its immune-boosting benefits, it also plays essential roles in collagen synthesis, detoxification, and maintaining the structural integrity of skin, blood vessels, bones, tendons, and ligaments.

This unique combination of vitamin C and bioflavonoids mimics how these nutrients occur naturally in fruits, enhancing absorption and utilization.

Spectrum C is particularly beneficial for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), where oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and vascular fragility are common features.

Key Benefits

• Strengthens immune function and promotes resilience to infections

• Provides antioxidant protection against oxidative and inflammatory stress

• Supports collagen production for healthy skin, joints, and blood vessels

• Enhances vitamin C absorption and stability in the body

• Promotes vascular and capillary integrity

• Aids in detoxification and tissue repair

• Supports neurological and mitochondrial health in children with autism

How It Works

1. Vitamin C (600 mg per capsule)

Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid and acerola extract) is a water-soluble antioxidant vital for growth, tissue repair, and immune defense.

It neutralizes free radicals, regenerates other antioxidants such as vitamin E, and supports the synthesis of collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitters (including dopamine and norepinephrine).

• Protects cells from oxidative stress
• Boosts immune system activity
• Promotes collagen formation for strong connective tissues and vascular walls
• Supports adrenal gland and stress response

Children with autism often exhibit elevated oxidative stress and impaired detoxification capacity.

Vitamin C helps reduce oxidative burden, supports glutathione recycling, and improves neurotransmitter metabolism, leading to better mood stability and focus.

2. Bioflavonoids: Nature’s Vitamin C Enhancers

Bioflavonoids are plant compounds that naturally occur with vitamin C in fruits and vegetables. They protect vitamin C from oxidation, enhance its absorption, and provide complementary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.

The three key bioflavonoids in Spectrum C — quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin — have been extensively studied for their effects on immune regulation, vascular health, and inflammation balance.

Quercetin (50 mg)

Known as the “king of flavonoids,” quercetin is a potent antioxidant found in apples, red onions, grapes, berries, and herbs like cilantro and dill.

It supports healthy inflammatory balance, stabilizes mast cells (reducing histamine release), and promotes immune regulation.

• Supports respiratory and seasonal immune health
• Reduces oxidative stress in the brain and body
• Helps modulate immune overactivation and allergic responses
• Protects capillaries and brain cells from oxidative damage

In children with ASD, quercetin may help reduce neuroinflammation and histamine-related behaviors, improving focus, mood, and comfort.

Hesperidin (from Citrus Bioflavonoids, 100 mg)

Hesperidin is found in citrus fruits, especially in the white pith under the peel.

It works synergistically with vitamin C to strengthen capillaries, support circulation, and enhance antioxidant protection.

• Promotes vascular elasticity and blood flow
• Helps regulate immune cell activity and reduce oxidative stress
• Supports liver detoxification and tissue healing

Rutin (50 mg)

Rutin is another flavonoid found in buckwheat, citrus fruits, and dark berries.

It complements quercetin and hesperidin by improving capillary strength, promoting circulation, and supporting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

• Strengthens vascular and connective tissues
• Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation
• Supports microcirculation in the brain and extremities

Acerola Cherry Extract (200 mg)

A natural source of vitamin C and phytonutrients that improve immune response and antioxidant defense.

Acerola provides additional bioflavonoids and carotenoids that enhance vitamin C absorption and stability.

Why It’s Especially Helpful for Children with Autism

Children with ASD frequently experience oxidative stress, immune imbalances, and increased inflammation, which can contribute to irritability, fatigue, poor focus, and heightened sensory sensitivity.

Spectrum C helps by:

• Supporting antioxidant capacity and reducing free radical damage

• Strengthening immune resilience and balancing inflammatory pathways

• Improving collagen formation, promoting healthy gut and vascular integrity

• Enhancing vitamin C utilization for brain and mitochondrial health

Clinical observations have shown that antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C and quercetin can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and support detoxification pathways, which are often compromised in autism.

Key Ingredients (per capsule)

• Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid and Acerola) – 600 mg
• Acerola (Malpighia glabra) Fruit Extract – 200 mg (25% Vitamin C standardized)
• Citrus Bioflavonoids – 100 mg (standardized to 50% Hesperidin)
• Rutin – 50 mg
• Quercetin – 50 mg

Recommended Use

Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

For children, capsules may be opened and mixed into food or beverages.

Summary

Spectrum C delivers a synergistic blend of vitamin C and bioflavonoids to support immune defense, vascular health, and antioxidant protection.

By combining quercetin, hesperidin, and rutin with natural vitamin C sources, this formula enhances absorption, stability, and cellular benefits.

It is especially useful for:

• Children with autism or developmental delays

• Individuals with weak immune function or oxidative stress

• Those recovering from illness or under chronic environmental stress

Spectrum C helps strengthen the immune system, support tissue repair, and protect the body from oxidative and inflammatory damage — essential for long-term vitality and neurological health.
