Information About This Product
Background
Vitamin C 1000 provides a high potency source
of vitamin C. Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered, low-acid form of vitamin
C which is more gentle on the stomach compared to the acidic form of ascorbic
acid. Vitamin C and magnesium are required for healthy immune function.
Magnesium ascorbate provides a bio-available
source of vitamin C and magnesium, together with bilberry extract which
provides non-citrus flavonoids. Bilberries are a potent source of antioxidants.
Amylase and cellulase are plant enzymes that assist with the digestion of
starches and cellulose.

Antioxidants
If you’ve noticed how an apple turns brown when it’s cut or how iron rusts when
exposed to the elements, you’ve seen the effects of oxidation. Oxidation causes
similar damage to the cells of the body. But unless you have discovered how to live
without breathing, you cannot escape the consequences of oxidation. It takes place
whenever you breathe, digest food, exercise, or even sleep – and produces potentially
harmful agents called free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable
molecules that trigger chain reactions that eat away at the cells of the body and
damage the genetic material they contain. Countless free-radical chain reactions
take place in the body each day. In addition, emotional stress, ultraviolet light,
air pollution, and cigarette smoke also generate free radicals that can put your
health at risk.
Fortunately, nature
provides antioxidants – factors which have been shown to be helpful in minimizing
the effects of free radicals. The most important antioxidants include:
-
Certain vitamins
and carotenoids
-
Glutathione, L-cysteine,
alpha lipoic acid
-
Certain minerals
such as Zinc and Selenium
-
Components found
in plants, such as ginkgo biloba, bilberry, resveratrol and green tea
