SUGGESTED USE: 2 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

A Natural Vitamin C Supplement for Protection Against Free Radical Damage, Immune Health Support and Detoxification.

Natural Buffered Vitamin C Supplement
This special formula of vitamin C combines calcium, magnesium and potassium making it non-irritating to the stomach or intestinal lining. Buffered vitamin C allows for higher doses of vitamin C intake which is critical for immune health and acts as an important antioxidant in the body. Ideal for detoxification programs.

Vitamin C, Essential for Optimal Health

Vitamin C operates mainly in cellular fluid and is the most plentiful water soluble antioxidant present in the body. Found in citrus fruits and green vegetables, Vitamin C is especially important in neutralizing free radical damage caused by cigarette smoke, environmental pollutants and other oxidative stress. Vitamin C supports immune health by enhancing glutathione levels in human lymphocytes. Twenty-five percent of all white blood cells in the blood comprise of Lymphocyte cells. Vitamin C also has been known to help return vitamin E to its active state.

The Formation of Free Radicals

Most people are exposed to environmental pollutions every day such as pesticides, herbicides, radiation, artificial food additives, cadmium and smog. These toxins can produce free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are formed when weakly bonded molecules split up and are left with unpaired electrons. Free radicals are also produced by normal cellular functions in our bodies including during metabolism and through an immune system response.

Damage to the Living Cells

Due to their instability, free radicals become reactive with other compounds, attempting to gain the necessary electron to achieve molecular stability. Usually the nearest stable molecules are damaged by free radicals. When a free radical attacks a stable molecule in an attempt to gain its electron, the stable molecule loses the electron and becomes an unstable free radical. This creates a chain response that once initiated can advance and inflict severe damage to a living cell resulting in the mutation or death of the cell.

Free Radicals Lead to Degenerative Diseases

Our body is capable of dealing with only low levels of free radicals, and in today?s environment we are constantly bombarded with more free radicals then our body can safely handle. An excessive amount free radical damage accumulates as we age and may lead to many degenerative diseases including cancer.

Antioxidants Neutralize Free Radicals

Thankfully we can rely on antioxidants to counter the damaging effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are nutrients that can neutralize free radicals and the harm they cause. Antioxidants accomplish this by supplying the unstable molecules (missing electrons) with one of their own electrons. By donating their electrons, antioxidants put an end to the chain response of electron snatching molecules, which intern brings balance to the living cell. Antioxidants are considered stable substances because they do not become free radicals when they donate their electron. Antioxidants such as vitamin C act as scavengers that help prevent tissue damage and cellular degeneration.
