Description: Vitamin C is a vital nutrient for the human body. It is a key antioxidant nutrient which protects the body against oxidative stress. It is required for the structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Vitamin C also helps to produce chemicals which control our moods . It also aids the production of energy and metabolising cholesterol .

Not only is vitamin C an effective antioxidant by protecting other cells from free radical damage, there is also evidence to suggest that it may be able to aid the regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamin E .

A deficiency in vitamin C has been linked to may illness and diseases; such as scurvy , cardiovascular disease , strokes , cancer , cataracts and lead toxicity . It has been demonstrated that vitamin C can be used to help prevent against this serious disease but also against common aliment such as the common cold, it is believed that by taking a vitamin C supplement reduces the duration of colds by about 8% in adults and 15% in children .

Unlike most other mammals, humans do not have the ability to produce vitamin C. Vitamin C must be obtain through diet; good sources of vitamin C are papaya, mango, watermelon, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapples. However, research suggests that the typical diet does not contain adequate vitamin C.
If we do not obtain sufficient vitamin C in our diets then we could suffer from: dry and splitting hair, inflammation and bleeding gums, dry skin, easy bruising, nosebleeds, weakened tooth enamel, swollen and painful joints, anemia, and a slow metabolism.
Buffered Vitamin C not only contains a useful dose of ascorbic acid, but also one half of the recommended daily intake of calcium and magnesium.

SUGGESTED USE:
As a dietary supplement, 1 heaped teaspoon or more in 8 to 12 ounces of liquid between meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

As with all vitamin C formulations, as one begins to achieve body saturation, “bowel tolerance” may be temporarily exceeded and diarrhoea or loose stools may occur. As the high levels of vitamin C in the tissues become used up, the bowel symptoms should ease. Ideal for controlling acidity often associated with hypersensitivity reactions.*
