Scientific trials revealed amazing health benefits

Studies have shown that Vitamin C could provide considerable protection to our eyes. It protects our lens tissues from photoperoxidation, which could help to delay cataract formation1.

The antioxidant effect of Vitamin C could prevent damage of lung tissues caused by inhalation of free radicals from cigarette smoke or polluted air1.

Bioflavonoids have been well recognized as anti-cancer agent. Their anti-cancer effect was attributed to their free radicals scavenger property. They have the capacity in inhibiting tumoral cell growth via anti-metastasis and anti-invasive mechanisms. For instance, In vitro studies suggested that bioflavonoids could inhibit several human neoplastic cellular line proliferations, in particular, lymphoid and myeloid leukaemia2, gastric carcinoma3, ovarian carcinoma4, prostate carcinoma5 and squamous-cellular carcinoma6.

Lemon bioflavonoids were effective inhibitors of human breast cancer cells proliferation by increasing detoxification at the onset of carcinogenesis7.

Regular intake of bioflavonoids could reduce the risk of heart disease. This was attributed to their anti-artherosclerotic effect, inhibiting plaques formation7.

Some studies have demonstrated antibacterial and antiviral properties of bioflavonoids. For example, hesperidin prevents infection and inhibits replication of herpes simplex virus, polio virus, parainfluenzal virus and syncytial virus7.

Directions

Adult: Take 2-3 tablets daily. In times of lowered immunity or illness, you may take up to 10,000mg daily (hourly taken).

Children: 8-12 years: 500mg daily. In times of lowered immunity or illness, a tablet may be taken every 2 hours.

The 21st Century Challenge

Diet that lacks of fruits and vegetables makes it impossible for people to get enough Vitamin C for the body and immune system to rebuild and rejuvenate naturally.

Just imagine how much Vitamin C- rich fruits and vegetables we need to consume a day in order to obtain the amount of Vitamin C required for the body’s metabolism and biochemical processes.

A freshly plucked orange provides approximately 60mg of Vitamin C. To achieve the adult daily minimum requirement of 1000 mg of Vitamin C, you would have to eat approximately 18 freshly plucked oranges!

Vitamin C is the most thermo labile vitamin. As a result, substantial amount of Vitamin C is easily destroyed during cooking and thermal processing of foods. While it is also sensitive to light and is easily leached into water, fresh fruits and vegetables begin to lose its Vitamin C once they are cut.

Human body does not have the ability to synthesize and store Vitamin C. Alcohol and medications such as steroids, anti-depressants, analgesic, anticoagulant and contraceptives may reduce the level of Vitamin C in the body.

Moreover, Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is rapidly lost from our body. Hence, daily supplementation of Vitamin C is important for optimal health maintenance.

Who will benefit from Vitamin C Complex?

  • Ideal for smokers as smoking one cigarette may rob the body approximately 25mg of Vitamin C
  • Ideal for people who have bleeding gums
  • Ideal for people who are susceptible to infections, allergies and common colds
  • Ideal for people with poor immune system
  • Ideal for people who eat a limited variety of foods
  • Ideal for people with high cholesterol levels
  • Ideal for people with high blood pressure
  • Ideal for people who are anemic

Vitamin C deficiency symptoms

Muscular weakness, anemia, appetite loss, skin hemorrhage, swollen jaws, slow healing of wounds & fractures, bleeding gums, excessive bruising, low resistance to infections and fatigue, are some of the symptoms for Vitamin C deficiency.

Can you take too much?

As vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, the body rids itself of excessive vitamin C. It is non-toxic, even when taken in large amount.

However, when excessive amount is taken, it may cause diarrhoea, which some believed is a form of cleansing effect for the body.

A freshly plucked orange from a tree provides you with approximately 60mg of Vitamin C. In order to achieve the adult daily minimum requirement of one gram (1000mg) of Vitamin C, you may require to eat approximately 18 oranges.

Thus, it is imperative to take Vitamin C supplements.
