WHY USE VITAMIN-C-PLUSVitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps promote a healthy cardiovascular system. In addition, it provides nutritional support to your immune system, helps you maintain healthy eyes, liver, and adrenal gland function, while serving as a key building block in collagen. Vitamin C also enhances the body's ability to cope with occasional stress and frustration. Vitamins are classified as “essential” or “nonessential” based upon whether or not your body sufficiently manufactures it. Vitamin C is considered to be an essential vitamin. Life Plus’ VITAMIN-C- PLUS is time-released to provide increased utilization of vitamin C in your body. Life Plus uses only high-quality raw materials in manufacturing its nutritional supplements. VITAMIN-C-PLUS is time-released, unlike many on the market, so it provides your body with vitamin C slowly, allowing the body to more fully utilize it. WHAT IS VITAMIN-C-PLUSVITAMIN-C-PLUS is a Life Plus formulation of one of nature’s most important nutrients. Vitamin C is also referred to as ascorbic acid. In order to ensure you receive top quality supplements, Life Plus works closely with specialists and researchers who have pioneered numerous new concepts in health and nutrition for many years. Fifty years of experience in manufacturing doctor-quality supplements, gives you the peace of mind that you are dealing with a company dedicated to producing the best supplements on the market today. VITAMIN CProbably the most widely used of all vitamin supplements, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has a myriad of functions and helps strengthen the immune system. It became famous in the 1970s when Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling advocated daily mega doses (8-10 grams) of vitamin C to prevent and ease the symptoms of the common cold. Many clinical studies that show vitamin C is superior to over-the-counter medicines in reducing the symptoms, duration, and severity of colds. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps fight cardiovascular disease by protecting the linings of arteries from oxidative damage. There is strong epidemiological evidence and some research that vitamin C can help prevent cancer. Studies have shown it is also beneficial in protecting the body against the effects of smoking and air pollutants. Vitamin C plays a protective role in cancer. Studies show that those who regularly eat foods high in ascorbic acid are at a lower risk of developing various malignancies, especially those of the stomach and esophagus. Some of the positive claims for Vitamin C are: 1) fights cancer; 2) boosts immunity against colds and other infecting diseases including AIDS; 3) lowers cholesterol and combats cardiovascular disease; 4) speeds wound healing; and 5) helps maintain good vision. NEEDS VARYVitamin C is the most talked about and most studied vitamin. It naturally reinforces hundreds of defense mechanisms in the body. With the exception of man, almost all other animals are able to manufacture their own. However, we must obtain it from food or supplements. Individual needs for Vitamin C vary from person to person and from day to day, according to the types and amount of stress that is experienced. Dr. Linus Pauling, the world's leader in Vitamin C research, consistently took 6,000 mg per day for years, which he considered to be the absolute minimum, even though the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is only 60 mg per day. Most doctors and scientists agree that we routinely need more since the RDA was determined to be enough to only prevent scurvy. Those who live in cities or near busy highways may suffer from carbon monoxide and lead poisoning. In large doses, Vitamin C has been shown to have a protective effect of pulling the carbon monoxide away from the hemoglobin in the red blood cells, which allows the oxygen to become attached and be carried to the cells. Pregnant women who take adequate amounts of Vitamin C have less problem with leg cramps, fluid retention and toxemia. It has been proven that Vitamin C increases certain biochemical reactions in white blood cells that kill bacteria. There are many bacteria, viruses and allergies which can be associated in various ways with colds. Vitamin C does not provide complete protection against all of them. Nonetheless, your odds are probably better while taking it. If you smoke one pack of cigarettes a day, you have about 25% less Vitamin C in your blood than non-smokers. Those who drink a lot of alcoholic beverages need Vitamin C, because the liver depends on it to produce an enzyme that helps take alcohol out of the bloodstream. Aspirin depletes the body of Vitamin C and blocks the blood cells from absorbing it. The more exposure to drugs and chemicals, the more Vitamin C is needed to minimize harmful effects. Diabetics seem to lack the ability to transport Vitamin C across their cell membranes, which can result in serious blood vessel complications, which is common among diabetics. Dr. George Mann of Vanderbilt University states that "cataracts may be a late consequence of marginal intakes of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), with the diabetic being more prone to cataracts because of their lack of insulin." COLLAGENVitamin C is necessary for healthy metabolism of skin and connective tissues. Collagen is the major component of skin and connective tissues in our bodies and is the "glue" that holds our bodies together. It cannot be manufactured without Vitamin C. As long as our tissues have the strength provided by collagen, they are able to resist the invasion of infections. Defective collagen assumes a watery consistency and leaks into the bloodstream. The cells are then easily permeated allowing all kinds of diseases can run rampant. Dr. Constance Leslie of Pindersfields Hospital in Wakefield, England and many other doctors believe that Vitamin C causes cholesterol to come out of arterial plaque into the blood. It can then be used by the liver to make bile salts for digestion. The brain has a greater concentration of Vitamin C than most other tissues in the body. Dr. Pauling proved that insufficient Vitamin C can impair mentality. There is strong evidence that ascorbic acid helps brain functioning. CHELATIONStudies show that Vitamin C reduces the danger of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead poisoning. With cars emitting at least 500 million pounds of lead into the atmosphere each year, it is estimated that over 200,000 American children are victims of chronic lead poisoning. It is difficult to avoid Cadmium. You get it from passive cigarette smoke, white bread, coffee and tea, to name a few sources. The FDA reported in Science Magazine that Vitamin C protects against Cadmium toxicity. Vitamin C protects against nitrosamines, cancer causing chemicals that are made in the stomach from nitrates and nitrites in foods like hot dogs, bacon, luncheon meat and smoked fish. Life Plus is careful to include a broad spectrum of bioflavonoids in VITAMIN-C-PLUS, as these substances occur with Vitamin C in nature. Bioflavonoids are involved with every major metabolic process of the body, and they act synergistically with Vitamin C.

When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them. HOW TO TAKE VITAMIN-C-PLUSOne tablet per day as a time-released Vitamin C supplement. More tablets can be taken if desired. There is no generally accepted amount of Vitamin C to take as everyone has different needs. The RDA of only 60 mg is considered too low and is only the amount necessary to prevent scurvy. However, larger amounts are needed in times of stress. Many experts believe that teenagers should probably take at least 2,000 mg per day, and most adults may do best on a minimum of 4,000 mg per day or more. Don't forget to include other Life Plus products you take that contain Vitamin C in computing your total consumption such as TVM PLUS, HEART FORMULA, ANTI-STRESS FORMULA, XTRA ANTIOXIDANTS and DNA IMMUNE. †Contains no preservatives, sugar, starch, salt, wheat, yeast, corn, milk, soy derivatives, artificial flavoring or coloring agents.
