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! |
