Vitamin C

Some days I think I even under estimate the power of vitamin C!

I have been reading about Vitamin C, and thought I'd share some of the information I've gathered:

"Vitamin C is the only vitamin repeatedly proven to increase the human lifespan when taken in doses that exceed dietary levels of this vitamin." - Bill Sardi

"The assumption the public is under is that vitamin C added as a supplement during the manufacture of any liquid is all beneficial; this is a myth. The facts are that adding vitamin C to drinks may constitute only 50-60% L, with the remainder being the D side. Although it is believed that the body discards the D side of vitamin C, further research needs to be undertaken to confirm this theory. It may be that is some individuals that an abundance of the D side of vitamin C could conceivably be detrimental to their optimal health." - Robert Mason, PhD

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is probably one of the most highly publicized, yet least understood, of all of the vitamins. Championed by Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, Ph.D., and advocated by many nutrition buffs, vitamin C is indeed a fascinating and important nutrient (or micronutrient) necessary for human life.

I will be posting a full article on vitamin C soon! So keep a look out!
