• Reduces the severity and duration of colds, flu and respiratory infections
• Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen and maintains existing collagen (by functioning as an essential cofactor for the conversion of lysine to hydroxylysine and for the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline)
• In this synergistic blend vitamin C improves the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and vitamin A to quench free radicals
• Vitamin C can moderate allergic reactions and inflammation (by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells)
• Vitamin C (2,500 mg per day) lowers the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands during periods of Stress.
With the discovery of benefits to be gained from taking larger doses of ascorbic acid came unpleasant intestinal side effects. Ascorbic acid is, obviously, acidic. When it reaches the alkaline environment of the lower intestinal tract, it can cause inflammation of the intestinal tissue, gas, diarrhoea and discomfort. This acid rejection syndrome usually results from very large doses of vitamin C, and it can limit vitamin C’s absorption.
Buffering vitamin C with a mineral moderates this rejection. Combining calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium with ascorbic acid helps to improve its delivery to the body while providing additional amounts of mineral nutrients.
Vitamin C in very large doses may cause gastrointestinal hurry, flatulence and loose bowels. Most individuals can tolerate up to 4 grams per day without problems. The low acidity of Tasty C powder will allow many adults to tolerate up to 10 grams per day. Gastrointestinal disturbances can be reduced by increasing fluid intake or by reducing the dose of vitamin C.
There is no good evidence that vitamin C increases the risk of kidney stones, vitamin B12 deficiency or rebound scurvy on its withdrawal.
• Avoid fats/oils damaged by heat (a potent generator of free radicals)
• Avoid trans fats
• Avoid drugs, tobacco and alcohol.
• Maintain high fluid intakes, for example, 20 grams of vitamin C per day should be accompanied with an intake of at least 4 litres of water or diluted juice.
• Do not cease high doses of vitamin C suddenly, wean down over a minimum of a two week period.
