Vitamin C is SO Important
Vitamin deficiency is an easy way for the body to succumb to the control of viruses, and with the scuttlebutt of COVID all over the news, Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D and other treatments have received both positive and negative press. Regardless of what the MSM says, Vitamin C has long been proven to be a great immune stimulator. The problem comes in with the main active ingredient, ascorbic acid, and those with sensitive stomachs.
If taking Vitamin C causes stomach upset, consider seeking to discover the reason why. Most commonly, those with irritated stomach linings from undiagnosed H. pylori infections will experience irritation taking Vitamin C. Consider treating this as well – call us for more information.
However, taking a Vitamin C that is BUFFERED can really help. Enter our buffered Vitamin C from Orthomolecular.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin widely used for its role in supporting immune health. Vitamin C provides necessary antioxidant protection, helping combat cellular damage from free radicals caused by oxidative stress. Vitamin C also has the ability to boost the function of immune cells and is a basic nutrient in the synthesis of collagen. Buffered C Capsules have a balance of calcium, magnesium and potassium to boost high-concentration vitamin C and reduce potential gastrointestinal unrest.
Research on vitamin C supplementation is greatly diverse, showing significant results in immune balance and its work as an antioxidant to reduce cell damage. While most mammals are able to synthesize vitamin C, humans cannot. Environmental impacts, such as exposure to smoke, pollution, radiations, heavy metal exposure or a high-stress lifestyle can increase the body’s need for vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for humans, as its deficiency can be detrimental. Supplementation balances out the body’s craving for vitamin C, while contributing to the body’s necessary requirements.
Cardiovascular Health
Research has shown vitamin C to have a strong relationship with cardiovascular health. Vitamin C had a significant effect on overall cardiovascular health, as it maintained healthy blood fats and healthy blood pressure in both men and women.
Immune Defense & Antioxidant Support
Orthomolecular states that, “vitamin C supplementation has been studied for more than six decades for its role in supporting the body during immune challenges. It has been shown to stimulate both the production and function of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, lymphocytes and phagocytes.” These elements are known to be the immune guardians, protecting immune cell types from oxidative damage. Vitamin C also contains potent antioxidant functions shown to protect white blood cells from self-inflicted oxidative damage.
Connective Tissue Health
With vitamin C’s role in collagen formation, it is vital to maintaining skin, capillary, gum, joint and skeletal health. The extreme antioxidant properties of vitamin C and collagen production make it specifically vital to skin health in general. Orthomolecular researches that, “vitamin C’s role in normal tissue repair and recovery may include promoting keratinocyte differentiation, stimulating the formation of the epidermal barrier and re-establishing the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis.” With this, vitamin C correlates greatly with a decreased risk of dry skin. With this Orthomolecular product, one can be feeding the body its necessary nutrients and feel the difference. Buffered C is available in capsules or powder that can be taken with water or the drink of your choosing.
