Vitamin C – Wholefood C Capsules

Description

Vibrant Health: Vitamin C capsules (formerly Super Natural C) | Version 3.3

DID YOU KNOW? True Vitamin C is the precursor to ALL Collagen production in our bodies. This is what stimulates our bodies to manufacture our own natural Collagen.

Most Vitamin C sold on the shelves is manufactured Ascorbic acid – Vitamin C synthesized from Corn sugar / corn syrup – which is a sulphuric acid by-product: hence the need for buffering? Even though Ascorbic acid fits the strictly defined molecular structure of Vitamin C, it is not the form encountered in food – our natural source of Vitamin C.

Vibrant Health’s Vitamin C takes advantage of recent research to combine high ORAC value plant extracts with natural Vitamin C from plants such as Acerola berry, Camu-camu, Amla extracts……. The result is a 100% natural Vitamin C from a wide variety of plant sources (from varied colour spectrums i.e. Red, blue, purple, orange, yellow, green) making it highly bio-available to all cells in the body.

Why choose Vibrant Health’s Full Spectrum Vitamin C vs any other?

• It’s a 100% plant-based vitamin C complex from 18 whole food and fruit extracts
• Wholefood Vitamins such as Vibrant Health’s Vitamin C – are inseparably bound to thousands of known and unknown food factors. Vitamin activity only takes place when all the co-factors or components of the entire vitamin complex are present and working together
• It has 13 essential Vitamins (A, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin) B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B7 (Biotin) B9 (folate), B12 (Cobalamin), C, D, E & K, as well as many essential Minerals – due to the Whole Food Complex of the ingredients
• It supports Immune health by strengthening the body’s natural defences, and by protecting the cells from harmful Free Radical molecules. When these free Radicals accumulate – they promote oxidative stress – which is linked to many chronic diseases i.e. Heart diseases, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Arthritis……
• It helps encourage the production of white blood cells (which protect the body against infection
• It helps protect your memory and encourages healthy aging, by lowering oxidative stress and inflammation near the brain

• Contains whole food bioflavonoids (powerful Antioxidants – which enhance the use of Vitamin C, improve absorption to every cell, and prolong efficacy in the body)
• A whole food Vitamin C blocks Hydrogen Peroxide production in the cells, where is it can kill the bacteria by destroying cell walls and steals electrons – just like chemical drugs
• This wholefood Vitamin C naturally includes: Ascorbic acid, Ascorbinogen, Rutin (plant pigment – a bioflavinoid), Bioflavonoid Complexes, P Factors (a bioflavonoid), Factor K (co-agulation), J Facors (catechol or Flavin), Tyrosinase.
• THIS IS A TRUE WHOLE FOOD VITAMIN – not chemically isolated components.

Vitamin C stimulates neutrophil migration to the site of infection, enhances phagocytosis and oxidant generation, and microbial killing. At the same time, it protects your body’s tissue from excessive damage by enhancing neutrophil apoptosis and clearance by macrophages, and decreasing neutrophil necrosis and NETosis

• Vitamin activity only takes place when all co-factors OR components of entire Vitamin complex are present & working together
• Most vitamins cannot be made by the body; they must be taken in as food.

What is a Whole food Vitamin?
It is a vitamin complex obtained from Vitamin rich plants using a chemical free process, to retain the vitamin’s function and nutrient integrity.

Ascorbic acid is not Vitamin C, just like Alpha Tocopherol is not Vitamin E and Retinoic Acid is not Vitamin A!

When vitamins are isolated from their complexes into artificial commercial forms (like ascorbic acid) – they act as drugs

Ascorbic acid:

• Depletes natural Vitamin C
• It is a Pro-oxidant (not anti-oxidant)
• It is an Antibiotic not a Vitamin (think acid)
• It Creates Hydrogen peroxide (Oxidation) in cells, where it kills bacteria by destroying call walls and steals electrons = just like chemical drugs!
• It is an isolate, a fraction, a distillate of natural Vitamin C

Whole food vs Synthetic:

Whole food Vitamins:
Wholefood vitamins are inseparably bound to thousands of known & unknown food factors:

• Enzymes
• Proteins
• Polyphenols
• Bioflavonoids
• Chaperones
• Glyconutrients etc.

When you chemically isolate a nutrient or vitamin from food complex within which it occurs naturally, it is no longer beneficial to life.

Vitamins are NOT individual molecular compounds – they are biological complexes: multi-step biochemical interactions whose action depends on many factors.

Vitamin activity ONLY takes place when all co-factors or components of the entire Vitamin complex are present and working together

Potency of Whole food Vitamins:

Whole food vitamins are of a naturally low potency – but are far more potent than synthetic Vitamins (only 20mg of Vit C from a potato cures Scurvy)

Vibrant Health Vitamin C provides 286 mg but is 10 x more bioactive = 2 660 mg

The higher the potency (i.e. 5,000mg) of an Ascorbic acid Vitamin C used in synthetic vitamins, the more chemicals is used to purify it. (More drug-like effects are present & more acidic to your body)

Ingredient Spotlight:

• Amla ​​– An excellent source of vitamin C, amla contains antioxidant properties. Some believe it may support overall wellness.
• Camu-Camu​​ – An excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant polyphenols, this sour berry is traditionally used to support overall well-being. It is also recognized for its contributions to eye, skin, liver, and circulatory health.
• Grape Seed​​ – Grape seed is rich in flavonoids and is known for its antioxidant properties. It supports overall cardiovascular and immune health and may contribute to joint comfort.

FAQ:

Why is the dosage so low? I am used to taking over 1,000mg of Vitamin C per day!

Vibrant Health’s Vitamin C provides 286 mg of pure Food state Vitamin C, but it is up to 10 x more bioactive – equalling about 2,860 mg of Ascorbic Acid (without all the negative chemical side effects). The higher the potency in a manufactured Vitamin or Mineral – the more chemicals are used to purify it, and the more drug-like effects are present – creating a more acidic environment in your blood and cells.

How do I know if I am deficient in Vitamin C?

A lack of Vitamin C is called SCURVY.

The symptoms include: muscle & joint aches & pains, connective tissue & ligament weakness (twisting ankles or torn ligaments), thin pale skin, bruising easily, poor / slow wound healing, bleeding or purple gums, fatigue (from lack of iron), thinning hair & premature ageing and elevated Cholesterol (without good reason). If you suffer from any gut dysbiosis (such as IBS, Crohns, Diverticultis, Diarrhoea……) then you will be short on Vitamin C as your body would not be able to absorb it.

Also, if you are or have been a smoker – you will be very short on Vitamin C and will need to supplement 3 x a day for a few months till your levels have improved. The results will show on your glowing less wrinkly skin. As a smoker – Vitamin C is more likely to be drained from the stores in your body. The body needs more Vitamin C to prevent organ damage and fragility – and it will deplete your natural resources.

Do I still need to take Collagen if I am taking Vibrant Health’s Vitamin C?

No, this is totally unnecessary – as Vitamin C is the precursor to all natural Collagen production in your body. Your body will manufacture its own – and you will see and feel the difference in your skin and your elasticity. True Collagen is grey brown in colour and it smells really bad – if yours is white and has no smell – it’s been chemically purified. Not something you want to put into your body……

Does the Vitamin C contain corn syrup?
No, our Vitamin C comes from natural food sources, rather than ascorbic acid, a common synthetic form of the supplement.

Is it Non-GMO?
Yes

Is it safe for children to take it?
Yes. Children can take Vitamin C in capsule form. If the child can’t swallow a capsule, simply open the capsule and mix the contents into a smoothie, yogurt or juice of your choice. As always, please consult your child’s paediatrician when beginning a supplementation regimen.

How do I know if a Vitamin is Natural or Synthetic?

Look for the words 100% natural, or 100% plant based, or Wholefood state. Just the word “natural” is not sufficient – as a product may call itself that if only 10% of the ingredients are natural. 

Look for the “food source” list on the product label. If the label does not contain a list of natural food ingredients – then it is synthetic.

Look for Whole foods in the ingredient list instead of just a particular “nutrient” (which could then be of chemical origin)

Look for words that end in “ide” or “ate” – indicating that the product contains salt forms – which are synthetics. Also “dl” before any name of an ingredient indicates that it’s synthetic

Warning:

If on medication, check with your doctor before usage.
