VITA-C-PLUS Timed-Release Buffered Vitamin C Antioxidant Nutritional Supplement With Bioflavonoids and Acerola

VITA-C-PLUS from Life Plus contains what is probably nature's most important nutrient and antioxidant, Vitamin C. Because it is very essential and our bodies do not manufacture it, vitamin C must be supplied by the diet. It is included in a few other Life Plus products but is the primary ingredient in VITA-C-PLUS when larger amounts are desired. It is known to be nature's own detoxifier, antioxidant, and antihistamine. It protects against dangerous free radicals and therefore is an important systemic anti-aging nutrient. Vitamin C is a natural chelating agent, indirectly protecting us against environmental toxins such as pollution and poisoning of heavy metals including mercury, lead, and cadmium. Vitamin C reinforces the immune system and helps to prevent certain health conditions caused by a depressed immunity. It is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of collagen, the primary substance of skin, connective tissues which hold our bodies together. Vitamin C also promotes a healthy cardiovascular system. Finally, vitamin C is a natural calmative agent, which may help fight stress and frustration, and extra amounts of it can be used safely during times of tension and anxiety. People in stressful situations, those living in polluted cities, smokers, and those prone to infection need additional amounts of Vitamin C. Each VITA-C-PLUS tablet contains 500 mg of pure, high-quality Vitamin C plus a wide range of natural bioflavonoids from Lemon, Rutin, Hesperidin, Acerola, and Cayenne. Life Plus VITA-C-PLUS releases its ingredients over two or three hours to provide maximum utilization of Vitamin C in the body.

WHY USE VITA-C-PLUS?

Vitamins are classified as "essential" or "nonessential" based upon whether or not your body sufficiently manufactures it. Vitamin C is considered to be an essential vitamin. Life Plus’ Vita-C-Plus is timed-release to provide increased utilization of vitamin C in your body. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and promotes a healthy cardiovascular system. In addition, it provides nutritional support to your immune system, helps you maintain healthy eyes, liver, and adrenal gland function, while serving as a key building block in collagen. Vitamin C also enhances the body’s ability to cope with occasional stress and frustration. Life Plus uses only high-quality raw materials in manufacturing its nutritional supplements. Vita-C Plus is time-released, unlike many on the market, so it provides your body with vitamin C slowly, allowing the body to more fully utilize it.

WHAT IS VITA-C-PLUS?

Vita-C-Plus is a Life Plus formulation of one of nature’s most important nutrients. Vitamin C is also referred to as ascorbic acid. In order to ensure you receive top quality supplements, Life Plus works closely with specialists and researchers who have pioneered numerous new concepts in health and nutrition for many years. Fifty years of experience in manufacturing doctor-quality supplements, gives you the peace of mind that you are dealing with a company dedicated to producing the best supplements on the market today.

VITAMIN C NEEDS VARY

Vitamin C is the most talked about and most studied vitamin. It naturally reinforces hundreds of defense mechanisms in the body. With the exception of man, almost all other animals are able to manufacture their own. However, we must obtain it from food or supplements. Individual needs for Vitamin C vary from person-to-person and from day-to-day, according to the types and amount of stress that is experienced. Dr. Linus Pauling, the world's leader in Vitamin C research, consistently took 6,000 mg per day for years, which he considered to be the absolute minimum, even though the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is only 60 mg per day. Most doctors and scientists agree that we routinely need more since the RDA was determined to be enough to only prevent scurvy. Those who live in cities or near busy highways may suffer from carbon monoxide and lead poisoning. In large doses, Vitamin C has been shown to have a protective effect of pulling the carbon monoxide away from the hemoglobin in the red blood cells, which allows the oxygen to become attached and be carried to the cells. Pregnant women who take adequate amounts of Vitamin C have less physical problems.

If you smoke one pack of cigarettes a day, you have considerable less Vitamin C in your blood than non-smokers. Those who drink a lot of alcoholic beverages need Vitamin C, because the liver depends on it to produce an enzyme that helps take alcohol out of the bloodstream. Aspirin depletes the body of Vitamin C and blocks the blood cells from absorbing it. The more exposure to drugs and chemicals, the more Vitamin C is needed to minimize harmful effects. Those who suffer from disorders of the pancreas or have blood sugar problems seem to lack the ability to transport Vitamin C across their cell membranes, which can result in serious blood vessel complications.

COLLAGEN

Vitamin C is necessary for healthy metabolism of skin and connective tissues. Collagen is the major component of skin and connective tissues in our bodies and is the "glue" that holds our bodies together. It cannot be manufactured without Vitamin C. Defective collagen assumes a watery consistency and leaks into the bloodstream. The cells are then easily permeated thus causing various conditions of the joints. Dr. Constance Leslie of Pindersfields Hospital in Wakefield, England, and many other doctors, believe that Vitamin C causes cholesterol to come out of arterial plaque into the blood. It can then be used by the liver to make bile salts for digestion. The brain has a greater concentration of Vitamin C than most other tissues in the body. Dr. Pauling proved that insufficient Vitamin C can impair mentality. There is strong evidence that ascorbic acid helps brain functioning.

PHYTOZYME BASE

VITA-C-PLUS is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from plants. When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.

ADDITIONAL LIFESTYLE OPTIONS TO ENSURE HEALTH

Eating a balanced diet that includes fresh citrus fruits, engaging in regular exercise, and quitting smoking, (since nicotine robs the body of vitamin C), are important parts of a healthy lifestyle. To provide additional support for your body's connective tissue and collagen you may want to include JOINT FORMULA in your daily supplementation regimen.

Suggested Use: Two or more tablets per day as desired as a high quality source of timed-release Vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
