500 Milligram Vitamin C With Synergistic Herbs & Bioflavonoids

Vitamin C is essential for healthy teeth, gums and bones. It helps heal wounds and scar tissue, fractures; prevents scurvy; builds resistance to infection; aids in the prevention treatment of the common cold; gives strength to blood vessels; aids in the absorption of iron. It is required for the synthesis of collagen, the intercellular cement which holds tissues together. It is also one of the major antioxidant nutrients. It prevents the conversion of nitrates (from tobacco smoke, smog, bacon, lunchmeats, some vegetables) into cancer-causing substances.

Why use Vitamin C Plus Formula?

Vitamins are classified as “essential” or “nonessential” based upon whether or not your body sufficiently manufactures it. Vitamin C is considered to be an essential vitamin. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and promotes a healthy cardiovascular system. In addition, it provides nutritional support to your immune system, helps you maintain healthy eyes, liver, and adrenal gland function, while serving as a key building block in collagen. Vitamin C also enhances the body’s ability to cope with occasional stress and frustration. Life Plus uses only high-quality raw materials in manufacturing its nutritional supplements. Vitamin C Formula is time-released, unlike many on the market, so it provides your body with vitamin C slowly, allowing the body to more fully utilize it.

Vitamin C Formula is of the highest, purest quality

Only the highest quality, most pure Vitamin C is used. In addition, the Life Plus brand incorporates numerous co-factors that occur with Vitamin C in nature, especially lemon bioflavonoids (common in citrus fruits), hesperidin and rutin. A better way to describe Vitamin C Formula may be to call it "vitamin C complex." It also contains concentrates of two natural sources of vitamin C, Acerola berries and Cayenne herb. These ingredients are very synergistic with vitamin C and give the quality formula an extra edge over other vitamin C products on the market.

DIRECTIONS: There is no generally accepted amount of Vitamin C to take as everyone has different needs. The RDA of only 60 mg is considered too low and is only the amount necessary to prevent scurvy. However, larger amounts are needed in times of stress. Many experts believe that teenagers should probably take at least 2,000 mg per day, and most adults may do best on a minimum of 4,000 mg per day or more.
