Our Vitamin C complex contains a composition of a 1:1 ratio of Ascorbic Acid to Citrus Bio-Flavanoids. Hesperidan, Rose Hips and Rutin are added to this blend, creating a superior anti-oxidant formula. It is especially important to take Vitamin C daily, as it is used at a rapid rate and is not stored by the body.

Bioflavanoids are oestrogen-like compounds. Bioflavanoids act as hormone blockers any place in the body where there are excess hormome production which may cause cancer(s) such as breast cancer. Flavanoids are also strong anti-oxidantes found in foods such as citrus, soy, brocolli, apples and legumes.

The human body cannot produce Vitamin C on it's own and it is necessary for a great many vital processes, including immune response function and vascular integrity. The need for Vitamin C is variable so the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is not going to fill everyone's need for this essential vitamin.

Most experts agree that determining Bowel Tolerance (see below) is the best method to establish what amounts of Vitamin C your body requires for maximum protection. When your body is under stress, your need for Vitamin C is increased considerably. Vitamin C is not toxic and therefore, your body will tell you when you have taken enough. If you experience diarrhea or soft stools, it is a sign that your body has reached Bowel Tolerance (BT). Once you reach BT (whether it is 1 gram or 20 grams) you can cut back to 75% of the dose that represents BT for you and then keep taking that dose EVERY DAY.

Keep track of the 4 daily doses (begin with 500 mg recommended) because you will be increasing your intake gradually until you find the amount that you need for maximum immune support. Vitamin C appears to be most effective in fighting disease when the dose is close to the bowel tolerance limit. This dosage information is important enough that it could literally save your life. Incidentally, excreted Vitamin C is not a complete loss.

According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling, Vitamin C protects against urinary tract infections. He recommended using this laxative effect to reduce chances of developing colon cancer. The laxative effect of Vitamin C is said to be greater when the vitamin is taken on an empty stomach.

Dr. Irwin Stone, a pioneer in the use of Vitamin C, recommended taking 1.5 to 2 grams (note: each of our tablets are 500mg or .5 grams) by mouth at the first sign of a cold and repeating the dose at 20 to 30 minute intervals until symptoms disappeared. He said this usually happened by the third dose.

To maximize it effectiveness, we recommend taking Vitamin C and E at separate times. We recommend taking your daily dosage of Vitamin E in the morning (it stores well in the body). Then take your BT level of Vitamin C, ideally at multiple doses throughout the day.

This product is considered hypoallergenic. Our Vitamin C contains only pure, crystalline Vitamin C, without added corn starch, magnesium stearate, or other dilutents or lubricants typically used by other companies.
