Vitamin C... The Immunity Factor

Perhaps Vitamin C's most well-known attribute is its Immune boosting ability, it has long been known and even in the world of mainstream that dosing oneself with Vitamin C during cold and flu season is a smart idea, often this is the old classics like orange juice and warm lemon drinks. However that just isn't even close to a therapeutic dose of the King of Antioxidants, the number 1 supplement for immunity followed by Vitamin D3. Dr Linus Pauling, the twice Nobel Prize-winning chemist who discovered that DNA was a double helix, was a big proponent of using large doses of Vitamin C Powder for colds as well as more serious health conditions. Studies are always catching up what is really a given, but in this day and age of fact checking, many people need to see studies, well research has repeatedly confirmed the immune-boosting benefits of Vitamin C. A review published in the Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism showed that Vitamin C may help reduce symptoms and shorten the duration of respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. Vitamin C may also help decrease the incidence of other conditions like lung issues, looseness of the bowels and intermittent and remittent fever caused by a protozoan parasite that invades the red blood cells as well.

Vitamin C increases the production of white blood cells in the body, key players in your immune system that protect against bacteria and viruses. When one of these invaders enters the body, it attaches itself to a healthy cell in order to multiply. Evidence suggests that Vitamin C can defend against organisms that harm healthy cells. Vitamin C Powder protects cells throughout the entire body because it plays a role in the production of collagen — a major building block of skin, bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, body tissues, and teeth. One of Collagen's main tasks is to form and repair connective tissues inside your digestive system to keep your gut healthy and strong. A healthy gut leads to a healthy immune system. Vitamin C can ease the incidence and severity of some respiratory symptoms. There's evidence that the more vitamin C you consume, the better your lung function will be, both when you're healthy and sick. Vitamin C supplementation has been shown to halve respiratory symptoms after short-term heavy physical stress, too. When your airways are not hydrated, it can lead to respiratory discomfort and you may experience a cough. Taking more vitamin C may keep your respiratory tract hydrated, allowing the respiratory tract to do its work, protect you from potential pathogens and clearing them out.

Vitamin C for your Skin

Vitamin C as Ascorbic acid is the building block ingredient in many skin care and cosmetic products, often it is most likely the only ingredient that does anything in such a product, a fancy packaged over-priced cosmetic with fractions of all sorts of exotic ingredients is as we said above often just for show while the Vitamin C does the work. So Vitamin C is so beneficial for skin firstly because of its antioxidant content, then perhaps it's involvement in the synthesis of collagen, Vitamin C is also thought to help slow down ageing of the skin and whilst actually protecting against skin damage and free radical formation from exposure ultraviolet rays. Vitamin C could even lighten and balance hyperpigmentation, some research has shown that it may suppress melanin production to prevent dark spots and patches. Taking Vitamin C internally alone, supports our skin's natural regeneration process, this helps the body repair damaged skin cells. Vitamin C Powder strengthens the capillaries and cell walls and is essential for collagen formation. It functions in protein synthesis by changing the charge of iron so that it can be absorbed, and it works as an antioxidant. It functions in the construction of protein from amino acids.

Because Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid is highly acidic, when we use it topically our skin is triggered into self-healing mode and this application accelerates the production of collagen and elastin. (So we will mention here that you should also now apply some topically for extra benefits like this, see our suggested use section). So collagen and elastin are naturally occurring protein fibres, these fibres help keep our skin plump and firm. As we mentioned above this further should explain why the collagen promotion of internal and topical Vitamin C can help combat premature skin ageing. Whilst on the subject of Vitamin C's collagen boosting benefits... This aspect helps bind together the cells of connective tissue, helping to promote healing, prevent bruising and keep your ligaments and tendons strong and healthy. Vitamin C is necessary for healthy bones, muscles, blood vessels and cartilage. It's been known as the antioxidant's antioxidant, because it functions to protect both beta-carotene and Vitamin E from oxidation.

Vitamin C at the Heart of Good Health

Our heart supplies your cells with oxygen and nutrients by pumping blood through your veins. Incorporating more vitamin C foods into your diet may help protect the health of your heart. A review from the National University of Health Sciences made up of 13 studies showed that supplementing with 500mg of Vitamin C daily significantly reduced levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Similarly, another human study from the University of Southampton found that a higher intake of Vitamin C Powder was associated with a lower risk of death from stroke or coronary heart issues.

Researchers wanted to take a closer look at earlier findings that Vitamin C supplements positively affect blood vessel function. A total of 35 sedentary, overweight or obese adults entered the 3-month study. Obese and overweight adults tend to have higher levels of activity of a certain protein that constricts blood vessels, putting those adults at higher risk. About half of the participants did regular aerobic exercise training such as walking and the other half took a daily dose of 500mg of regular oral Vitamin C. Measuring markers for the vessel constricting protein activity, the researchers found that both groups responded equally in a positive manner. What may matter most with vitamin C and how it supports heart and vascular health is your plasma Vitamin C levels. Eating a Vitamin C-rich diet daily or supplementing regularly with Vitamin C tends to raise plasma levels.

The Vision of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is concentrated in eye tissues, supporting healthy blood vessels. Research suggests Vitamin C could lower the risk of an age-related common condition that affects the middle part of your vision. It usually first affects people in their 50s and 60s. It does not cause total blindness. But it can make everyday activities like reading and recognising faces difficult. This condition often is the common cause of blindness among the elderly.This age-related condition is thought to be largely driven by free radical damage. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study, sponsored by the National Eye Institute, linked AMD with nutrition found that those at high risk who took 0.5g of Vitamin C Powder, along with beta-carotene, Vitamin E and Zinc, slowed the progression of advanced AMD by about 25% and visual acuity loss by 19%. A 2011 study by Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University showed Vitamin C may play a more important role in vision health than was previously thought. It is known that nerve cells in the eye require Vitamin C to function properly. When vitamin C was removed from retinal cells, GABA-type receptors in the brain, which help modulate communication between brain cells, stopped functioning properly.The researchers believe GABA receptors elsewhere in the brain likely also require Vitamin C for proper functioning, and that the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C may "preserve the receptors and cells from premature breakdown." The finding could also have implications for people with damaged optic nerves, which is caused by dysfunction of nerve cells in the retina and brain. It's also essential for the repair and growth of tissues in all body parts.

People are not getting enough Vitamin C

Most people, even those who have access to raw organic fruits and vegetables, don't consume enough on a daily basis to get the vitamin C benefits they need. And other folks simply may not have ready access to a wholesome supply of organic produce. Thus, the concern I have for potential deficiency levels in a good portion of the populations of the world… including the US. And there are other issues that can vary the vitamin C requirements for certain groups of people.

Vitamin C Deficiency Signs…may include: Dry and splitting hair, Bleeding and/or inflamed gums, Rough, dry or scaly skin, Decreased wound-healing rate, Easy bruising, Unexplained and easy to get nosebleeds, Reduced immunity. So it is worth also noting that you never want to get as far as a deficiency, if you have one of the above you need to start getting more Vitamin C now. You also never want any of these symptoms in the first place so make sure you always have plenty of quality Vitamin C in your diet.

Who is especially at risk?

where to buy vitamin C powder organic

  • Smokers - Smokers may require more Vitamin C than non-smokers due to the increased oxidative stress from cigarette smoke. If you follow the RDA smokers are advised to consume 40% more than non-smokers.
  • Mature adults (65yrs +) - Due to ageing absorption challenges and from differences in immune systems and lower blood levels of Vitamin C.
  • Adult Men & Women - The RDA for adult men (19 years+) is 20% higher than adult women supposedly due to women's decreased lean body mass.

Eating for Vitamin C

Kakadu Plum, Camu Camu and Acerola Cherry contain the highest concentrations of Vitamin C, amazingly all these food based Vitamin C options are available right here at Ancient Purity. The most common sources of Vitamin C are from fruit and vegetables such as: Rosehip, Oranges, Strawberries, Raspberries, Kiwi Fruit, Parsley, Cantaloupe, Grapefruit, Cranberry, Watermelon, Grape juice, Red Peppers, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Collard Greens, Garlic, Lime, Tomato's, Lemon and Tangerine. It is also found in some animal products especially in calf and beef liver, and highest in oysters and cod roe in seafood. Vitamin C chemically decomposes in certain conditions, most notably when the containing foods are cooked.

Cooking reduces the Vitamin C content of vegetables by up to 60%! This is possibly due to the destruction of the food's enzymes which is that much stronger at boiling temperatures. The longer the food is cooked the more the enzymes are affected. Sadly too often when the water-soluble Vitamin C dissolves into the cooking water it is poured away and not drank, something always done by our ancestors and still by many of our wiser senior citizens. It's worth noting that not all vegetables lose their Vitamin C potency at the same rate with Broccoli fairing the best under those conditions. In summary, it would seem the most efficient way to take Vitamin C would be to consume the vegetables listed above raw. But a great alternative would be taking Ancient Purity's Pure Vitamin C Powder (as ascorbic acid). Remember that each vegetable contains different amounts of Vitamin C.

We can only get Vitamin C through diet and supplementation

Vitamin C... Closing Thoughts

Ancient Purity's Pure Vitamin C Powder is an essential nutrient for good health. It aids form and maintain bones, blood vessels, and skin. It is also an antioxidant. Vitamin C occurs naturally in some foods, especially (fresh) fruits and vegetables. OurVitamin C is water soluble, and our body doesn't store it. To maintain adequate levels of Vitamin C, people need to consume food that contains it every day. Alternatively, you can take Ancient Purity's High Quality Vitamin C Powder!The body needs Vitamin C for various functions. Here are some of them: It helps the body produce collagen, L-carnitine, and some neurotransmitters. As an antioxidant, it helps remove unwanted substances known as reactive oxidative species (ROS) from the body. It speeds up wound healing. It boosts the immune system and it helps the body absorbing iron.

ROS are substances such as free radicals that result from natural bodily processes, exposure to pollution, and other factors. They can lead to oxidative stress, which can, in turn, cause cell damage. Vitamin C's antioxidant activity may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of developing various conditions, including some serious health issues.Our bodies need Vitamin C Powder to produce the vital component known as collagen. This is the main component of connective tissue and makes up 1–2% of muscle tissue. Low levels of Vitamin C in your body can lead to Vitamin C deficiency. This condition can lead to deficiency of red blood cells or of hemoglobin in the blood, debility, exhaustion, spontaneous bleeding, discomfort in the limbs, and especially the legs, swelling in some parts of the body, and sometimes ulceration of the gums and loss of teeth.Symptoms of scurvy include swollen joints, bleeding gums, loose teeth, and tiredness. The best sources of Vitamin C are fresh fruits and vegetables. However, heat and cooking in water can destroy some of the Vitamin C content in these foods, so eating raw foods or taking Vitamin C Powder daily is best.
