The Science of Optimal Health with Premium Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a cofactor in multiple enzymatic reactions including collagen synthesis. Humans are unable to produce vitamin C because a gene for this ability has mutated and no longer works properly.

Our premium Vitamin C supplement comes with FREE alkaline powder that neutralizes the ascorbic acid, making it harmless in your body when ingested. We are the only company in South Africa to have this available to the public.

The Science Behind Our Approach

"I think we can get almost complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes by the proper use of (vitamin C and lysine) … even cure it."
- Linus Pauling

Dr Linus Pauling was the leading chemist of the last century and, arguably, the greatest ever American scientist. He is also a 2 time Nobel prize laureate.

He coined the term orthomolecular (meaning “right molecules in the right concentration”) which characterized an approach to the prevention and treatment of disease and attainment of optimum health that was based on the physiological and enzymatic actions of specific nutrients.

Dr Pauling is well known for his work on megadosing with Vitamin C, which he believed and proved with thousands of cases to be the one nutrient to support total healing in the body.

Revolutionary Heart Health Protocol

Dr Linus Pauling and his associate Dr Matthias Rath, published a definitive thesis on the root cause, treatment, and actual cure for all forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including congestive heart failure, heart disease, and stroke.

The Pauling and Rath heart protocols in lower dosage levels will prevent cardiovascular disease and in higher dosages will actually reverse arterial plaque build up and reverse heart disease!

Heart patients moving to the Pauling Therapy commonly avoid open-heart surgery and angioplasty. Almost without exception patients experience rapid recovery.

Key Benefits:

  • Avoiding Surgery
  • Heart Health
  • High Blood Pressure Support

Combat Stress with Vitamin C

People who have high levels of vitamin C do not show the expected mental & physical signs of stress. What’s more, they bounce back from stressful situations faster than people with low levels of vitamin C.

In one study researchers subjected 120 people to a stress test. Half of those studied were given 1,000 mg of vitamin C. It was noted that higher levels of cortisol and high blood pressure were significantly greater in those who did not get the vitamin supplement.

The Stress-Vitamin C Connection

The highest concentration of vitamin C in the body is stored in the adrenal glands. When you are faced with a stressful situation, your vitamin C is rapidly used up in the production of cortisol.

In adrenal fatigue, your adrenal glands “panic” when they don’t have enough vitamin C available, and they release MORE cortisol. This not only increases your immediate anxiety, but as this state of high cortisol is prolonged, it wreaks havoc on your blood sugar, blood pressure, and contributes to the dreaded accumulation of belly fat.

What Makes Our Vitamin C So Special?

Our Vitamin C comes with FREE alkaline powder that is specific to alkalise/neutralise the ascorbic acid so that the acid in the Vitamin C is harmless in your body when ingested.

Most, if not all Vitamin C available on the market today are not neutralised. You are doing more harm than good to your body. We are the only company in South Africa to have this available to the public.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant which prevents or reduces damage caused by free radicals. It has the ability to reverse damage to skin caused by free radicals and supports overall health and wellness.

Vitamin C and Blood Sugar Management

A 2007 study looked at 84 patients with type 2 diabetes who randomly received 500 or 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily for six weeks. The researchers discovered that the group supplementing with 1,000 mg experienced a decrease in fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, (LDL) and insulin levels. The dosage group with 500 mg did not produce any changes.

The Vitamin C-Glucose Connection

Vitamin C and glucose have a similar chemical structure. When both are high they compete with one another to enter the cells. If there’s more glucose around, less vitamin C will be allowed into the cells, creating a deficiency.

Not only is it important to keep your C levels up, it’s just as crucial to keep your blood sugar levels stable with a low-glycemic diet.

No Collagen Without Vitamin C

The synthesis of collagen, for which vitamin C is essential, proceeds in the body as one of its major manufacturing enterprises.

Collagen is a protein found in the skin, bones, teeth, blood vessels, eye, heart, and, in fact, essentially all parts of the body. Collagen as strong white fibers, stronger than steel wire of the same weight, and as yellow elastic networks (called elastin), usually together with macropolysaccharides, constitutes the connective tissue that holds our bodies together.

Vitamin C is essential to the manufacture of collagen. It appears that vitamin C is involved at every step in the synthesis of collagen in the body. A deficiency of vitamin C means a deficiency of collagen, which can lead to joint and bone pain, (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis), blood vessels becoming weak, gums bleeding, teeth falling out, and the immune system deteriorating.
