Vitamin C
What Is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C appears to be the most important antioxidant in hindering the oxidization process of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Hinder that process and you may hinder cardiovascular disease (“CVD”). Since CVD is the number one killer of Americans, hindering CVD is a worthy goal in its own right. But there is so much more that Vitamin C does. Vitamin C supplementation:
- Can lower the incidence of cardiovascular disease; 3,5-8,10,13-19,27,48,49,50,60
- Improves overall capillary health; 1,2
- Improves overall immunity; 41,42,43
- Improves athletic recovery; 32,33,34,35,36,47
- Helps keep blood pressure low; 11,12,13
- Improves wound healing; 1,2,56-63
- Helps you battle Glaucoma; 69-71
- Helps you ward off infections; 1,2
- And much more.
So with all these benefits, why the extra ingredients? Because Vitamin C needs to be fully absorbed and distributed within your body and done in such a way that it does not cause damage. Our Super C™ formula takes that into account.
Why Is Our Vitamin C Better?
We offer two popular stand-alone Vitamin C products: time-released and pH-neutral products. Additionally, our Cardio C-Q10 Heart Complex contains vitamin C, all of our nine multivitamins contain at least 100% of the recommended daily intake value for vitamin C, and the very popular VitaBev Effervescent Multivitamin Drink contains 565mg (942% Daily Value) of Vitamin C per serving.

How Vitamin C Works
Most of us have heard of scurvy--the disease resulting from a lack of Vitamin C--it was first discovered in sailors who stayed out at sea for long periods of time without citrus fruits to eat; to address this, sailors started carrying limes with them to eat, and were consequently nicknamed "limies". One of the first symptoms of scurvy is bleeding gums, caused by weakened blood vessel walls. If the Vitamin C deficiency is left to persist, the scurvy victim will eventually die of internal and external bleeding--the blood vessels dissolve and fall apart, resulting in death. This happens because without Vitamin C, the body cannot produce collagen--the structural element in the body. Without collagen, the skin sags, the blood vessels weaken and leak, and bones and connective tissues weaken. Collagen is to the body what iron rebar is to concrete (collagen is actually stronger on an ounce-for-ounce basis than iron)! (Additionally, your body needs sulfur to produce collagen. Please be sure to read about MSM, an organic, absorbable form of dietary sulfur.)
Is Heart Disease Chronic Vitamin C Deficiency?
According to researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute, heart disease and stroke are symptoms of a Vitamin C deficiency, also known as Scurvy! 2,3 Strange as it may sound, the evidence supporting their hypothesis is compelling. We present it here, for educational purposes, because it is so interesting. According to their hypothesis, degenerative heart disease is chronic low-grade scurvy. 2 It is the "chronic" part--the fact that this deficiency occurs slowly over time--that leads to atherosclerotic plaques. Cholesterol is put there on your blood vessel wall by the body as a repair mechanism--it is the body's attempt to seal a crack or weak spot that has resulted from an inability of the body to produce the strengthening collagen, which in turn is the result of a Vitamin C deficiency. Cholesterol, the substance of which atherosclerotic plaques are made, is not by itself dangerous (it is, in fact, what your brain is made of). It is the presence of oxidized cholesterol on the arterial walls that is dangerous, because as it builds up on the walls of the arteries, the diameter of the vessel wall is constricted, placing greater and greater strain on the heart in its effort to pump blood through the shrinking tube that is your blood vessel. Thus, according to their hypothesis, sufficient levels of Vitamin C would provide the body with the needed materials for collagen production, preventing cracks from developing in the vessel lining. This preempts the body's "cholesterol-patch" repair mechanism, preventing the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques.
