VITAMIN-C 1000

VITAMIN C (from a non-corn source) is a dietary supplement containing a highly purified source of ascorbic acid, comparable to reagent grade vitamin C. This supplement is especially designed for those individuals with extreme food sensitivities who are not able to tolerate other less pure forms of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C helps detoxify inhaled air pollutants such as free radicals from cigarette smoke and car exhaust. Vitamin C is responsible for many reactions in the body, specifically the manufacture of the collagen and protein that makes up 80% of our connective tissue. It is essential in healing tissue damage and keeping gums healthy. Vitamin C is necessary for the assimilation and utilization of many other nutrients. Vitamin C also contributes to immune function and the production of hormones and other chemicals that support the body function. Vitamin C is involved with so many of the body's metabolic and immune functions that you always want to have a supply available in the body because the amount available to the body at any given time is dependent on the oxidative stress due to pollution, diet, lifestyle issues, alcohol and tobacco; all of the above will use up the available C and also B vitamins immediately. VItamin C just to refer to a few of its functions is the major antioxidant in the bloodstream. Protecting the blood (fats) from free radical damage, Vitamin C stabilizes the three most potent free radicals: superoxide, hydroxyl and singlet oxygen. Vitmian C also plays an important role in cell movement. This is the reason so many books and research papers have been written just on vitamin C. Its role in body function is so enormous.
