More Information About This Product
Background
Vitasorb® C
is a micellised preparation incorporating the unique Vitasorb® process for
maximising absorption efficiency.
Micellised vitamins are absorbed far more
efficiently than other forms of nutrients, and are therefore required in
much lower doses.
Vitasorb vitamins can be taken sublingually
(under the tongue) or added to water, fruit juice or milk. The Vitasorb
range is free from additives and is suitable for allergic individuals.

Vitamins
Vitamins are vital for human life because they play integral roles in hundreds of
life-sustaining biochemical reactions. Vitamins are the catalysts for all reactions
using proteins, fats and carbohydrates for energy, growth and cell maintenance.
Certain nutrients are required in excess of the typical amounts supplied in the
diet depending on specific nutritional needs. Consuming dietary vitamin and mineral
supplements may help play an important role in maintaining good health. For the
most part, vitamins cannot be produced in the body and must be supplied through
the diet or vitamin and mineral supplements.
Vitamin C / Bioflavonoids
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and is a water-soluble, antioxidant vitamin
that plays a role in more than 300 bodily functions. It is essential to help support
health and wellness and requires daily replenishment.
Unfortunately, human beings - unlike most other animals - cannot manufacture vitamin
C. Nor can they store vitamin C to any appreciable amount. Instead, the kidneys,
acting as regulators, excrete vitamin C causing the need for regular replenishment.
In addition, vitamin C is destroyed during food preparation.
Vitamin C's primary function is to help maintain collagen, a protein necessary for
forming skin, ligaments, bones and teeth and for helping to maintain the strength
of blood vessel walls. High levels of vitamin C are also essential for the metabolism
of white blood cells, which are critical components of the immune system. In addition,
vitamin C plays an important role in the absorption of iron, which is necessary
for the formation of red blood cells and in the utilization of folic acid, one of
the B-complex vitamins.
Bioflavonoids work together with vitamin C to build strong capillaries and serve
as antioxidants and as anti-inflammatory agents.
Vitamin C
High intake can cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps and flatulence.
Avoid supplementing over 1 gram of vitamin C daily if using the contraceptive pill.
Vitamin C as ascorbic acid may aggravate stomach ulcers if used in high levels.
Long-term use of ascorbic acid at high intake levels may deplete calcium, magnesium
and potassium.
High intakes of vitamin C may interfere with some cytotoxic drugs used in cancer
therapy.
Medical advice should be taken if individuals are on drug therapy before taking
large doses of vitamin C and before blood tests.
