VITAL C, The New Face of Vitamin C

Vital C is Vitamin C in Sodium Ascorbate form. It is NON-ACIDIC (alkaline)
Vital C has a pH range of 7.5 to 7.8. It can be taken as much as preferred without the negative effects of highly acidic Vitamin C tablets such as gastric irritation, bloating, and intestinal irritation.
Vital C is safe and effective, classified as an over-the-counter product not requiring prescription.

VITAL C and Your Health

Mental Illness Periodontal Disease Depression Bleeding Gums Bone Abnormalities Confusion	Dental Cavities Easy bruising Colds Dengue Nose Bleeds Diabetes	Poor Digestion Rough Skin Cough & Colds Hemorrhoids Cardiovascular Heart Disease Enhances Sexual Function

pH Factor and Disease

POTENTIALITY to HYDROGEN is the measurement of the equilibrium of acid and base in the body. A higher pH reading in a fluid indicates that the fluid is more alkaline and oxygen-laden. A lower pH reading indicates the fluid is more acidic or deprived of oxygen. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Readings above 7.0 indicate alkalinity, readings below 7.0 are considered acidic. Humans are born with body fluids in a slightly alkaline state or high pH. And then, from that state our tissues and fluids absorb food, beverages, medicine, pollutants and experience stress daily, turning from alkaline to acidic. As soon as the pH level of a body’s fluids and tissues falls to a 6.9 or lower, the body starts to become prone to viral infections like colds, cough and flu. The more acidic the body becomes, the higher the uric acid and other toxins in it, the more susceptible to chronic disease and illness it becomes. For instance, cancer cells thrive inside the body at a pH level of 5.5. It is imperative that we strive for higher pH levels and alkalinity to prevent cancer and disease.

Vitamin C Vs. Standard Acidic Vitamin C

Vital C

• Alkaline-based
• PH range of 7.5 to 7.8
• Natural Vitamin C
• Intake of as much as 10,000-20,000 mg. a day is safe and effective. The higher the dosage, the better
• In crystallized powder form to preserve effectivity and purity
• Dissolves quickly and absorbed by the body 5 to 8 times faster than standard Vitamin C tablets
• May be taken before or after meals, non-acidic, stomach-friendly
• Body’s absorption is up to 95%, only 5% is flushed out
• Safe for people with ulcer and diabetes

Standard Acidic Vitamin C

• Acid-based pH range of 2.5 to 3
• Standard Vitamin C maximum dosage is only 1,000 mg. a day.
• More than that is too acidic for the body to tolerate
• Usually in tablet form with starch ingredient. Thus, not 100% pure and natural
• Dissolves slowly
• Must be taken after meals to avoid hyperacidity
• Body’s absorption is only 15-25%, more than 75% is flushed out
• Not advisable for persons with ulcer and diabetes (occasionally)

Health Benefits of Vital C

• Immune system booster and perfect anti-oxidant
• Protection against flu, cough, bronchitis, respiratory problems, viral infections
• Keeps you regular bowel movement thereby preventing the occurrence of constipation and hemorrhoids.
• Reduces insulin requirement of diabetics
• Protects the entire cardiovascular system, especially the heart from bad cholesterol
• Detoxifying agent - helps clean the liver by flushing out toxins such as pesticides from fruits and vegetables
• Prevents infertility as it maintains the ovaries. In males, this anti-oxidant prevents the weakening of the sperm.
• Enhances sexual performance by aiding the endocrine glands
• Eases stress and protects against related disorders
• Makes gums less likely to bleed and less prone to gingivitis.
• Speeds up the healing of bruises and strengthens the blood vessels.
• In bone disorders, Vitamin C helps mend collagen, the supportive protection in skin, bones, tendons and cartilage
• Protects smokers against the oxidative damage
• Influences formation of hemoglobin and aids in the absorption of iron
• Acts as an enzyme or co-enzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein

Vitamin C to Overall Wellness

Vitamin C is water soluble and a valuable anti-oxidant. Oxidation in our body causes a breakdown in our bodies’ cellular makeup and Vitamin C is essential to prevent against oxidation’s damaging effects. It is required for 300 metabolic functions in our body.

Vitamin C is an efficient immunity booster and helps build collagen, the stabilizing tissue in our bones, epidermis and muscles. Anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C are our best defenses against a long list of diseases and illnesses.

Our world is very different from the world in which our parents were born into. The air we breathe in is more polluted, the ozone layer that protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays is thinning, and more chlorine is added to our drinking water. We are now more exposed to cell-damaging free radicals.

More than ever, Vitamin C supplements in our diet are a necessity since our bodies are unable to produce Vitamin C unlike plants. Fresh fruits and vegetables are sources of Vitamin C, yet our bodies’ Vitamin C requirements clearly exceed the amount we normally obtain from these.

Therefore, Vitamin C in our diet must be supplemented by other sources. For those with illnesses such as cancer, the non-acidic form of Vitamin C is most effective since non-acidic Vitamin C enters the body four times faster than the other forms and stays in the tissues longer.
