Vitamin C is not stored in our bodies. Any excessive amount will be eliminated rapidly through the urine. Bio-Life's Sustain C Plus, a time-released vitamin C supplement is designed to be slowly released into the body system over a period of 6-8 hours after the tablet is
ingested. This is to ensure the ascorbic acid (dietary form of vitamin C) is well absorbed without premature losses.

Bioflavonoids are a group of plant pigments which are responsible for the colours of many fruits and flowers. It is useful in preventing and treating many health conditions.
