Any reason for not including bioflavonoids? Many include them, so I'm curious.

It's superfluous fluff. There is no scientific data showing adding bioflavonoids to vitamin C improves the bioavailability. Brands just do it because it's another cheap flashy thing to put on the label, and everyone else is doing it, so they just go along with the herd. If I ever make a product formulation because that's what everyone else is doing, you have my permission to slap me in the face. In fact, adding them can be detrimental for some people. Some people don't want the ancillary effects that the bioflavonoids can give, or to have them possibly interact with something else they are taking. Infini-C is just focused on giving you the best vitamin C forms possible, without random other shit in it to make it look more fancy. It's getting to be a big problem in the supplement industry. Brands just chuck small sub-active doses of other things in there so they can have them on the label and trick consumers. Chuck in 75mg of a cheap flavonoid mixture and some rose hips to make it look better. Got some extra acerola cherry lying around? Chuck that in there, too! Elderberry? Sure, that sounds provocative! What else can we do? I KNOW! LIPOSOMES. Liposomal vitamin C nanoparticles with citrus bioflavonoids, rose hips, elderberry, and acerola cherry!
Anyway, now I am ranting. Infini-C is just the ideal vitamin C formulation that I wish had existed on the market for myself personally, so I went and made it. If I want flavonoids, I will supplement them separately in the exact doses I want. Then I can control exactly which flavonoids I am taking, at what times, and in the specific amounts I want.
