If an individual could choose only one vitamin supplementation to consume, it should be vitamin C. While most animals can manufacture this vitamin, the human body does not have this luxury. Throughout history humans have suffered from various vitamin deficiencies, but none as great or frequent as scurvy. The primary function of vitamin C is the manufacture of collagen, the primary protein substance of the human body. Specifically, vitamin C aids the joining of a portion of a molecule of the amino acid proline to form hydroxyproline. In addition to its role in collagen metabolism, vitamin C is also critical to immune function, the manufacture of certain nerve transmitting substances and hormones, carnitine synthesis, and the absorption and utilization of other nutritional factors. Vitamin C is also one of the most important nutritional antioxidants. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this vitamin is in its excellent poising capacity of the blood. It serves as the perfect blood redox buffer. Americans live in a world contaminated with a wide range of toxins. These toxins, whether in the air, water, or food, all destroy vitamin C. Since most individuals ingest large quantities of sugar and processed food, it is no wonder that over 60% of Americans receive less than the RDA of this vital nutrient. It has been estimated that 98% of all US citizens are subclinically vitamin C deficient.
Vitamin C Complex is specifically designed not only to accomplish all of the unique needs that exist for vitamin C, but to provide this nutrient in an easily assimilated buffered form. Although this vitamin is available in numerous forms, research continues to document that ascorbic acid remains the easiest to absorb. This keeps digestive disturbances down to a minimum while providing the body with an excellent source of alkaline minerals.
