Cell Toxicity
If an individual could choose only one vitamin supplementation to consume, it should be vitamin C. While most animals can manufacture this vitamin, the human body does not have this luxury. Throughout history humans have suffered from various vitamin deficiencies, but none as great or frequent as scurvy. The primary function of vitamin C is the manufacture of collagen, the primary protein substance of the human body. Specifically, vitamin C aids the joining of a portion of a molecule of the amino acid proline to form hydroxyproline. In addition to its role in collagen metabolism, vitamin C is also critical to immune function, the manufacture of certain nerve transmitting substances and hormones, carnitine synthesis, and the absorption and utilization of other nutritional factors. Vitamin C is also one of the most important nutritional antioxidants. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this vitamin is in its excellent poising capacity of the blood. It serves as the perfect blood redox buffer. Americans live in a world contaminated with a wide range of toxins. These toxins, whether in the air, water, or food, all destroy vitamin C. Since most individuals ingest large quantities of sugar and processed food, it is no wonder that over 60% of Americans receive less than the RDA of this vital nutrient. It has been estimated that 98% of all US citizens are subclinically vitamin C deficient.
Vitamin C Complex is specifically designed not only to accomplish all of the unique needs that exist for vitamin C, but to provide this nutrient in an easily assimilated buffered form. Although this vitamin is available in numerous forms, research continues to document that ascorbic acid remains the easiest to absorb. This keeps digestive disturbances down to a minimum while providing the body with an excellent source of alkaline minerals.
POSSIBLE INDICATIONS FOR VITAMIN C COMPLEX INCLUDE:
History of kidney stones or failure Note: Certain Individuals may experience mild stomach discomfort or even diarrhea. If you experience these symptoms, please add TPPTM Gastro to your regimen.
Formula Rationale:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): This water-soluble plays a vital role as an antioxidant, antiviral, antihistamine and the glue that forms collagen. It also serves as a detoxifier of the liver and is involved in the formation of liver bile.
Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol acid succinate): A powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes as well as other fat-soluble body parts. Vitamin C recharges and reactivates oxidized Vitamin E.
Lipoic acid: Is both water and fat-soluble and is more effective than Vitamin E or Vitamin C alone. Mimics the effects of Vitamin C when this vitamin is in insufficient concentrations.
Hesperidin complex: This organic source of Vitamin C is a strong bioflavonoid. It works synergistically with Vitamin C and has been shown to reduce hot flashes, bruising and bleeding gums.
Non-citrus Bioflavonoids: These bioflavonoids contain all of the benefits found in hesperidin complex.
Selenium (as Selenium citrate): This mineral protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals. The citrate form of selenium is more readily absorbed and leaves an alkaline ash residue.
Zinc (as Zinc citrate): A mineral that serves as an enzyme activation cofactor and free radical scavenger. It also stimulates the immune response. The citrate form of zinc is more readily absorbed and leaves an alkaline ash residue.
Potassium (as Potassium citrate): This alkaline mineral is responsible for balancing acid/alkaline integrity. Its actions aid in carbohydrate and protein metabolism. The citrate form of this mineral leaves an alkaline ash residue.
Molybdenum Citrate: Aids the body in detoxification, especially sulfites. Works synergistically with Vitamin C. The citrate form leaves an alkaline ash residue.
Vanadium Aspartate: Helps maintain glucose regulation, thereby limiting any negative effects a large quantity of Vitamin C may have on blood sugar balance.
Chromium Polynicotinate: An essential trace mineral that also aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels needed to counteract any alterations that a large dose of Vitamin C may create.
Calcium Citrate: This alkaline mineral is needed to maintain cellular pH balance. It is the most abundant mineral in the body. The citrate form of calcium is more readily absorbed and leaves an alkaline ash residue.
Magnesium Ascorbate: Magnesium ascorbate is a source of Vitamin C and is essential to maintaining cellular pH balance. It reenergizes Vitamin E and is the first line of antioxidant defense.
TzymeTM Protease Blend: A proprietary blend of protease that aids in the lysis, targeting and absorption of all plant based substances. These enzymes blend with free-floating proteins that limit their destructive tendencies. This process allows for maximum absorption of all nutrients.
TzymeTM Polysaccharolytic Blend: TThis proprietary blend of enzymes facilitates the digestion of all carbohydrates and ensures the absorption of minerals by preventing the chelating effects of phytates, pectinates and oxalates.
The many powerful and synergistic ingredients in this unique Vitamin C formulation will provide the necessary nutrients to not only support the immune system, but to aid in the manufacture of vital hormones and collagen metabolism. The addition of enzyme blends significantly strengthens this product's absorption capabilities. Perhaps the most vital formulation in the BTN line of professional products, Vitamin C Complex is certain to offer the support that the body needs to remain vital, healthy and balanced.
