Vitamin C 1000 - Advanced Formula

Vitamin C supplementation is a healthy daily practice because our bodies cannot manufacture Vitamin C and it is eliminated in a very short time.

No longer can it be disputed that Vitamin C is essential to stimulate the immune system, enabling us to more effectively combat colds, flus and viral infections. Researchers tell us that for Vitamin C to be effective, we need to take a regular dose every day to have a positive effect in controlling infection. It should be increased at the first sign of a sore throat or stuffy nose.

Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant and helps prevent disease and slows the effects of ageing. The body's ability to absorb Vitamin C is reduced by smoking, stress, high fever, prolonged use of antibiotics, aspirin and other drugs.

The most important key to choosing a Vitamin C supplement is to select one that contains bioflavonoids, as they play a major role in assisting the absorption and utilisation of Vitamin C in the body as well as strengthening and protecting capillary walls.

When taking daily supplements of Vitamin C, it is preferable to take it in a low acid form combining a balanced blend of Calcium Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid. This combination will be kinder to your teeth and stomach lining. The Calcium Ascorbate helps prolong Vitamin C activity in the body guaranteeing higher bioavailability.
