Bioflavonoids help the body absorb vitamin C from your diet, protect blood vessels, promote circulation, lowering cholesterol levels, and by helping to fight viral infections. Some of the more common forms of bioflavonids include rutin, quercetin, and catechin. These are salts that include potassium, chloride, and sodium, help the body regulate electrical currents and the flow of water molecules across the cell membranes. Often electrolytes are included in vitamin C products because of their ability to prevent imbalances occurring at the cell walls during periods of stress and particularly when the body is fighting off a cold or the flu. This is important because when cell wall's are not functioning in their optimum range nutrients may not be delivered efficiently throughout the body.
Electrolytes improve the flavor of vitamin C products, especially vitamin C drinks.
