Calcium ascorbate is made up of roughly 9 parts of ascorbic acid to 1
part of calcium. This combination makes it pH neutral. By combining
calcium with ascorbic acid, two other benefits result: It is believed
that the ascorbic acid helps to absorb calcium and become bioavailable
to the cells, while at the same time the calcium holds onto the vitamin
C, allowing the ascorbic acid to stay in the cells longer.
Water-soluble vitamin C leaves the body quite quickly.
Vitamin C is necessary to maintaining all collagen structures, thereby promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy gums. As a powerful antioxidant it protects the aqueous areas of the body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free radicals. Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and also helps to regenerate vitamin E. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, so regular supplementation is vital. The body's need for vitamin C increases during times of stress because vitamin C participates in the production of vital chemicals such as norepinephrine, needed for the 'fight or flight' response. Vitamin C also acts as a detoxifier, helping to cleanse the body of toxins, such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, etc. Vitamin C may shorten the duration and severity of a cold. Large amounts (1 to 8 grams daily) taken at the first sign of a cold can shorten it by 23%. Benefits
Dosage: 1 capsule daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.
