Vitamin C has been a health product staple for years. Here are a few things Vitamin C has been used for: Vitamin C plays a primary roll in the formation of collagen, which is important for the growth and repair of body tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth. Vitamin C helps the body absorb natural iron which helps increase oxygen levels in the blood. Vitamin C helps prevent many types of viral and bacterial infections. May help lower incidence of blood clots in veins. Helps shorten duration of colds. Reduces effects of allergens on the body. Vitamin C also helps reduce free radical damage to cells. Cells affected by free radicals are often related to many severe illnesses. Vitamin C comes in many forms, but let me take this time to introduce you to one of the newest C products recently introduced to the natural health industry and to introduce you to some new information you might not know about C.
We are pleased and very excited about a new combination of nutrients which have given vitamin C absorption and utilization a tremendous boost! Even while being more potent the formulators have provided a way to buffer the acidity of the C so it is tremendously well tolerated as a supplement. Super 3 C is a combination of Threonic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid and C with bioflavonoids. Let me explain to you what these components do for increasing the bioavailability and improving the health benefits of Vitamin C for you.
In a double blind, placebo-controlled study published in the 2007 Medical Science Monitor had this to say about Threonic Acid. First, it was shown to increase the amount of Vitamin C that is taken up by the immune stystem’s T cells. Secondly, Threonic acid was shown to increase all the known benefits of Vitamin C within the cells.
Another discovery in the ongoing research was that vitamin C could be transported via active glucose transport pathways. This was huge! If you could combine a buffered non acidic C with metabolites (Threonic acid and Alpha lipoic acid) that could stimulate vitamin C transport, enhance absorption into the bloodstream and significantly increase utilization by the immune system for overall immune defense the effects and benefits of vitamin C could reach new heights.
Read on to learn more about Alpha lipoic Acid from Dr Lester Packer. Dr Packer discovered that unlike other antioxidants, Alpha Lipoic acid can act as a “free agent” that can pinch hit for other antioxidants when they are in short supply. In other words, if you are low in any of the antioxidants A,C,E,CoQ10, Selenium to name a few, Alpha Lipoic Acid will temporarily take over their jobs. Another use for Alpha Lipoic acid was found over 2 decades ago by Dr Burton Berkson, MD at the National Institutes of Health, discovered that ALA could cure a fatal liver disease caused by the ingeston of the very poisonous Amanita mushroom. 60 to 90% of people who eat this dangerous mushroom die; yet, scientists found that ALA cured these patients and promoted healing to their livers.
What about normalization of blood sugars with ALA. Type II diabetes and insulin resistance have reached epidemic proportions in America. Insulin is the hormone that helps break down sugar or glucose so it can be utilized by the body’s cells. If you are resistant to insulin, you will have higher than normal levels of blood sugar, and over time these high levels can result in serious health problems such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), nerve damage (neuropathy),and blindness. ALA has been used quite successfully in Europe for several decades to prevent complications from insulin resistance and other forms of diabetes. ALA taken with C increases the benefits of Bilberry, taken for vision, as well.
