Bio-C™
High Potency Vitamin C In A Highly Absorbable Form
Bio-C provides the body with four select forms
of vitamin C. The human body does not produce vitamin C, so all of this
important nutrient's requirements must be obtained through our diets, which
are frequently deficient in vitamins. Lifestyle factors such as smoking,
environmental pollutants and food-processing techniques can impact the level
of vitamin C in your body. In addition, vitamin C is not stored in the body,
so it must be replaced daily.
Vitamin C benefits many systems in our
bodies, particularly the cardiovascular system. It is integral to the
production of collagen molecules that provide the stability necessary for
proper cardiovascular function. Bio-C provides a balance of high-potency
vitamin C formulated with four select forms of this important antioxidant
nutrient plus bioflavonoids to promote absorption.
Formulated to assure disintegration and
dissolution to meet and exceed all standards, Bio-C does not contain sugar,
starch, salt or preservatives.
Vitamin C is widely touted for benefiting
the immune system, but it also offers significant benefits for cardiovascular
function.
First, it aids in the
production of collagen and elastin, which are the reinforcement rods of the
body. Current clinical evidence suggests that the lack of adequate amounts of
vitamin C over a period of years results in a breakdown of the collagen and
elastin structure of the blood vessel walls. This breakdown leads to tiny,
microscopic cracks or fissures in the walls. Cholesterol globules, surrounded
by sticky lipoprotein (a) molecules, lodge in these cracks forming a sort of
natural "plaster cast" to prevent blood leakage. This natural repair system
eventually overshoots and the buildup of atherosclerotic deposits results.
These fat deposits in the arteries of the heart can cause heart attacks and
strokes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
There are so many different types of
vitamin C. Which one is the most easily assimilated and absorbed by the body?
A.
A composition of different forms of vitamin C helps optimize your body's usage
of this nutrient. Ascorbic acid and ascorbic salts are very important along
with ascorbyl palmitate, a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that remains active
in the body for about 24 hours and is very well absorbed. Bio-C contains all
of these, along with citrus bioflavonoids, which work with vitamin C to
increase its biological efficacy in your body.
Q.
My multivitamin contains vitamin C. Why do I need to take Bio-C in addition to
a multivitamin?
A.
Most multivitamins offer a number of beneficial nutrients. To provide the
variety and quantity of vitamin C offered in Bio-C, a multivitamin would be
too large to swallow easily. Multivitamins are beneficial, but you can enhance
your nutritional program by also including Bio-C.
Q. If
I take Bio-C and a multivitamin, will I be consuming too much vitamin C?
A.
No. This important nutrient is water-soluble, so your body can naturally
eliminate excess supplies. Because of its water-soluble nature, vitamin C must
be replaced in your body daily.
Q.
In addition to increasing my vitamin C intake through supplements, what are
some food sources from which I can obtain beneficial amounts of this nutrient?
A.
Many fruits - including oranges, cantaloupe, kiwi, blueberries, strawberries
and honeydew melon - are good sources of vitamin C. Red and green bell
peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and tomatoes also contain vitamin C.
