Vitamin C 
 

Who doesn’t remember their mom handing out a chewable vitamin C whenever a cold was beginning to take hold?  But did you know that not all Vitamin C supplements are equal? 

 

The majority of vitamin C sold on the mass market today is made from synthetic ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is made by mixing corn starch and hydrochloric acid together in a laboratory. Numerous studies have proven the ill effects that synthetic vitamin C may have on the body.  However, in its whole food form, vitamin C is very beneficial as an antioxidant (otherwise known as “free-radical scavengers”), assists in collagen and elastin formation (those protein fibers that give skin its youthful plumpness), boosts the immune system, and is necessary in the synthesis of stress hormones (the hormones responsible for age related weight gain).

 

We, as humans, cannot manufacture or store Vitamin C.  So we need to create a constant supply either from our diet or supplements.  And studies show that in the last 25 years there has been an increase in Vitamin C deficiency. 

 

So take charge, and if you’re not getting your “C”, take a look at Whole C, Cold/Flu Fighter or Immuno Support.

 

And for your little ones, try the C-Stix– a fun way to add to their health!

Fruit & Veggie Complete, 30 servings (single jar) - Optimal Health Systems

Fruit & Veggie Complete - A very pleasant raspberry-flavored powder mix gives you the equivalent of 6 servings of fruits and vegetables in a whole food formulation.

Research shows that eating 5 or more fruits and vegetables a day plays an important role in preventing these diseases and conditions of ill heath. Whole food fruits and vegetables contain essential nutrients, especially antioxidants; that improve our resistance to disease, protect our cells from damaging effects of free radicals, and boost our immune system.

Good nutrition is vital to optimal health and especially important for children and adolescents for healthy growth and development. According to the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, Americans are recommended to consume 3 to 5 servings of fruits and 2 to 4 servings of vegetables daily. The Harvard School of Public Health stated that the average American consumes only 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. What is even more alarming is that the USDA reported that over half of all elementary students eat no fruit on any given day and 3 out of 10 students eat less than one serving of vegetables a day.

All the ingredients in the Fruit & Veggie Complete were picked at their peak ripeness and then put through a specialized low-temperature, freeze-drying process that same day. This unique process of transforming the foods into a powder form retains all of its enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Other forms of processing destroy these vital nutrients. The ORAC unit of this product is strictly from the original fruits and vegetables. Synthetic vitamins, extracts and herbs were not added to "boost" the number. According to the USDA, the average person consumes about 1200 ORAC units per day. The USDA has also concluded that we need 3000 to 5000 ORAC units per day to have a significant impact for antioxidant protection.

Just one scoop of Fruit and Veggie Complete provides 3000 ORAC units and 6 servings of fruits and vegetables.

Ingredients:
This 100% raw food powder includes wild blueberry, apples with cinnamon, raspberry, strawberry, oat bran, red bell pepper, carrot, wild bilberry, tart cherry, raspberry seed, blackberry, cranberry, concord grape, orange, pomegranate, watermelon, black currant, beet, broccoli, cucumber, okra, and wild yam. That's it!

Serving Size:
1 scoop, 30 servings

This product does not contain fillers, synthetic vitamins, inorganic minerals, or any cooked or processed ingredients. Amazingly delicious!

It''s not easy getting all the fruit and vegetable servings in during our hectic family schedule. Our kids add a scoop to their snack smoothie.
