Optimal Liposomal Vitamin C Plus from Seeking Health provides 1000mg of vitamin C along with bioflavonoids and rosehip extract in a liquid liposomal form. Vitamin C is needed by the body to perform the immune system, full and skin, and to recycle glutathione. In the body, as an antioxidant, vitamin C can help a chronic cell against damage caused by free radicals. Environmental exposure to free radicals occurs daily, from cigarette smoke, air and ultraviolet light from the sun. Free radicals are also produced as by-products of normal metabolic processes. In addition, the body needs vitamin C to produce collagen, the proteins needed for healthy skin and the skin required for healing.

  • A high dose antioxidant vitamin C (from Scotland)
  • With wild rose extract and bioflavonoid support
  • It can help maintain a healthy immune system
  • It can help maintain healthy eyes and skin

This formula contains a synergistic blend of rose fruit extract with additional bioflavonoids: quercetin and hesperidin. Bioflavonoids (or simply flavonoids) are a type of compound synthesized by plants that may be responsible for the potentially potential health benefits of a plant-rich diet. Relationships with this family can help maintain a healthy inflammatory response, healthier cellular and cellular signaling / communication. The rose is full of beneficial contents: vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids and falling phenolic. These beneficial compounds found in rose hips and other sources of vitamin C in whole food can support the antioxidant effect of vitamin C.

Optimal liposomal vitamin C Plus uses a unique method of delivering liposomes to support optimal absorption of our high yield vitamin C. Liposome into small phospholipid vesicles that mimics the action of a cell cell. Liposomes may be better absorbed through cell membranes in a way that is not intended for ordinary water-soluble or fat-soluble nutrients. Our liposomes are made of non-hydrogenated phospholipids derived from GMO-free sunflower oil. This is a soy free product.

Integratori Vitamina C

Integratori Vitamina C

L'organismo dell'uomo, insieme a quello di pochi altri animali, necessita di vitamina C per svolgere correttamente alcune delle sue funzioni più importanti. Non essendo infatti in grado di sintetizzarla, siamo infatti costretti ad assumerla attraverso l'alimentazione.

La vitamina C è infatti uno dei migliori alleati della nostra salute: conosciuta anche come acido ascorbico, è un composto idrosolubile, simile al glucosio, ed è di norma la meno stabile delle vitamine, molto sensibile alla luce, al calore e all'aria, perché stimolano la produzione di enzimi ossidativi.

La vitamina C è anche probabilmente una delle vitamine più conosciute ed utilizzata in forma di integratore: ma sappiamo davvero cosa fa per il nostro corpo?

I benefici della vitamina C

Vediamo in breve i benefici ufficialmente riconosciuti dall'EFSA, l'autorità Europea per la sicurezza alimentare. Questa vitamina contribuisce:

  • al normale funzionamento del sistema immunitario, anche durante e dopo l'esercizio fisico intenso;
  • alla normale sintesi del collagene per un corretto funzionamento delle ossa, dei denti, della cartilagine, delle gengive e della pelle;
  • al normale metabolismo energetico;
  • al normale funzionamento del sistema nervoso;
  • a proteggere le cellule dallo stress ossidativo;
  • a ridurre stanchezza e fatica;
  • a favorire l'assorbimento del ferro.

Assumere vitamina C: alimentazione e integratori

Gli alimenti che contengono la maggior quantità di vitamina C sono frutta e verdura: tutti gli agrumi (arance e pompelmi), ma anche frutti di bosco, melone, kiwi, anguria; tra i vegetali in segnaliamo peperoni, asparagi, spinaci, broccoli, cime di rapa, cavoli e cavolfiori, patate e pomodori.

Quando l'alimentazione non è sufficiente, si può ricorrere all'assunzione di integratori ricchi di vitamina C, ottimi alleati per rinforzare le difese immunitarie durante l'inverno e prevenire i cosiddetti malanni di stagione.

Quando scegliamo un integratore vitamina C, in particolare ad alto dosaggio, è opportuno scegliere formulazioni a lento rilascio, che rilasciano gradualmente la vitamina C nell'organismo aumentandone di conseguenza l'assorbimento.

Essendo la vitamina C una vitamina idrosolubile, il nostro organismo non riesce ad immagazzinarla: quindi un rilascio graduato nel tempo, o una somministrazione ripetuta nell'arco della giornata, favoriscono un miglior assorbimento.

Inoltre l'esposizione prolungata può danneggiare gravemente i denti, erodendo lo smalto, quindi, a discapito delle formulazioni in tavolette masticabili, sono da preferire le compresse inghiottire o le formulazioni granulari solubili senza zucchero.

Una cosa molto importante, che ci teniamo sempre a sottolineare, è che gli integratori alimentari non vanno intesi come sostituto di una dieta (per questo si chiamano integratori) e vanno utilizzati seguendo uno stile di vita sano ed equilibrato.

Sul nostro shop puoi trovare alcuni tra i migliori integratori di vitamina C presenti in commercio. Oggi te ne segnaliamo tre:

Jamieson Vitamina C 1000: integratore di vitamina C a lento rilascio, permette il rilascio graduale in piccole quantità di vitamina C. Prova di glutine, arachidi e noccioline, lattosio, crostacei e lievito, una compressa intera fornisce la dose consigliata di 1000 mg.

Attiva C Forte: integratore alimentare a base di vitamina C a lento rilascio e riboflavina.
Prodotto compatibile con la filosofia vegana; assumere 1 compressa al giorno con un bicchiere d'acqua.

Apropos Fluprotect Effervescente C: integratore alimentare a base di vitamina C e zinco con estratti di propoli, echinacea e salice. Modalità d'uso: sciogliere una compressa in un bicchiere d'acqua (circa 200 ml) e bere ad effervescenza ultimata, anche a stomaco vuoto; assumere due compresse nell'arco della giornata.

How Much Vitamin C Is In An Airborne Tablet

Hepatitis is a condition that causes inflammation of your liver. Currently, there are an estimated 6 million people living with hepatitis in the United States, and more than 50,000 people are diagnosed with this disease every year. There are three primary types of hepatitis, and while their symptoms can be similar, they vary largely in the ways they're transmitted. Learning more about each type of hepatitis can help you better understand the condition as a whole.

Hepatitis A is the most easily transmitted of the three viruses. It affects approximately 2,500 people every year in the United States. It typically spreads through feces-contaminated food or water and is found in the feces of people who have the virus. Hepatitis A causes a short-term, acute sickness that most people heal from without treatment. However, it can cause serious illness in some people. This virus is more common in places with underdeveloped sanitation systems.

While doctors can't treat hepatitis A with medication, people who get this virus can manage its symptoms with fluids, rest and good nutrition. There's also a safe and effective vaccine available to protect you against hepatitis A.

What Is Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B can occur both acutely (meaning it develops quickly and lasts a short time) and chronically (meaning it develops slowly over time and worsens over months or years). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 2 million people in the United States are chronically affected with hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can be transmitted through sexual activity and exposure to infected blood. It can also be passed from a parent to their newborn child during birth.

Hepatitis B usually causes short-term discomfort that many people recover from completely after about four to eight weeks. However, it can turn into a chronic condition that lasts for years; this is more likely in older adults. Doctors can treat severe chronic hepatitis B with antiviral medications. However, in most cases, treatments focus on proper hydration and nutrition. There's a safe vaccine available to protect you against hepatitis B, too.

What Is Hepatitis C?

Approximately 4 million people in the United States are affected with hepatitis C. This form of hepatitis causes a chronic illness in over 50% of people who get this type of the virus. It's the least transmissible of the three viruses and can spread through contact with infected blood.

Hepatitis C occurs more commonly in people who engage in intravenous drug use. If you received a blood transfusion before 1992, you should also get tested for hepatitis C if you haven't previously. Hepatitis C can spread through unprotected sexual intercourse, but this is a less common way to transmit it. While there's no vaccine for chronic hepatitis C, treatments that are available today offer a 95% cure rate.

Chronic hepatitis C can significantly affect how your liver works. It can cause cirrhosis, which means that your normal liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue. It can also cause liver cancer. However, there are medications that can help keep this disease in check. Making lifestyle changes, such as reducing or eliminating alcohol from your diet, can also decrease your chances of experiencing complications. In severe cases, hepatitis C may require a liver transplant.

The varying forms of viral hepatitis affect millions of people in the United States. Chronic hepatitis often has few symptoms in its early stages, so recognizing the associated dangers and getting tested if you've been exposed may save your life. Although there are five types of viral hepatitis, only A, B and C are the forms commonly found in the United States.

A Guide to Vitamin C Serums

leonori/Shutterstock

For 70 years Vitamin C has been one of the biggest weapons in the skin care industry. It's used to make cleansers, moisturizers, lotions, masks, and serums. So what is this powerful vitamin? How can it benefit you? Why should you use serums that contain Vitamin C? We're here to answer all of those burning questions in this complete guide and reveal the many benefits Vitamin C serums offer for your skin.

What Are Vitamin C Serums?

There are many variations of Vitamin C, but the most popular is ascorbic acid, a common ingredient in skincare products. However, all the variations of Vitamin C have anti-inflammatory benefits.

Vitamin C Serums are products that contain a high level of Vitamin C. They're used to treat wrinkles, sagging skin, lighten dark or red spots, prevent breakouts and even your skin tone. Basically, they battle all of those annoying skin issues. There are loads of products out there that claim they'll save your skin, but some can cause damage. Vitamin C is one of the most revered ingredients and conclusive research has shown how effective it can be.

How Are Vitamin C Serums Made?

Well so far we've talked about how incredible Vitamin C is and it sounds like a dream come true doesn't it? It's not all good. In fact, the mighty vitamin is unstable when it's exposed to air and light. Other ingredients need to be used to stabilize it and allow it to deliver amazing results. The serums are combined with ferulic acid and Vitamin E. According to researchers the perfect mixture is 15% Vitamin C with 1% Vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid. This makes Vitamin C perform to the best of its abilities, without damaging your skin.

What Does Vitamin C Serum Do for Your Face?

Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen keeps your skin firm and prevents sagging. Environmental factors such as lifestyle choices and pollution can increase the elasticity of your skin, so it's important you try to increase your collagen production.

Hydrates Your Skin: Dry skin is a common issue, but Vitamin C can help to give your skin that much-needed moisture boost. Remember, it doesn't work immediately so you need to keep applying the serum to see results.

Brightens Your Complexion: Dark spots on your skin are caused by the overproduction of melanin. Vitamin C decreases the production and lightens the dark spots to even out your complexion.

Reduces Redness and Inflammation: Conditions such as Rosacea leave many people searching for a magic cure. Vitamin C helps facial redness and inflammation by reducing the appearance of broken capillaries.

Why Should You Be Using Vitamin C Serum?

Don't think Vitamin C serums are just beneficial for your face. They can also shield you from sun damage and reduce stretch marks.

Saves You From The Sun: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause long-term damage to your skin. Luckily, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that reduces red sports and prevents sunburn from spreading.

Fades Acne Scars: Acne plagues most of us at some point and we look forward to being free. Most of us get stuck with some scars but Vitamin C helps to fade scars and even out any discoloration.

Reduces Stretch Marks: Yes, Vitamin C serum can even help prevent those unsightly stretch marks by tightening your skin.

Are you ready to change your skin? Add a Vitamin C serum to your beauty regimen and enjoy a glowing complexion.

The recommended daily intake for vitamin C is 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men (1).

While it's commonly advised to get your vitamin C intake from foods, many people turn to supplements to meet their needs.

Here are 7 scientifically proven benefits of taking a vitamin C supplement.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body's natural defenses (2).

Antioxidants are molecules that boost the immune system. They do so by protecting cells from harmful molecules called free radicals.

When free radicals accumulate, they can promote a state known as oxidative stress, which has been linked to many chronic diseases (3).

Studies show that consuming more vitamin C can increase your blood antioxidant levels by up to 30%. This helps the body's natural defenses fight inflammation (4, 5).

SUMMARY

Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that can boost your blood antioxidant levels. This may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.

Approximately one-third of American adults have high blood pressure (6).

High blood pressure puts you at risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death globally (7).

Studies have shown that vitamin C may help lower blood pressure in both those with and without high blood pressure.

An animal study found that taking a vitamin C supplement helped relax the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart, which helped reduce blood pressure levels (8).

Moreover, an analysis of 29 human studies found that taking a vitamin C supplement reduced systolic blood pressure (the upper value) by 3.8 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (the lower value) by 1.5 mmHg, on average, in healthy adults.

In adults with high blood pressure, vitamin C supplements reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.9 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 1.7 mmHg, on average (9).

While these results are promising, it's not clear whether the effects on blood pressure are long term. Moreover, people with high blood pressure should not rely on vitamin C alone for treatment.

SUMMARY

Vitamin C supplements have been found to lower blood pressure in both healthy adults and those with high blood pressure.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide (7).

Many factors increase the risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, high triglyceride or LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.

Vitamin C may help reduce these risk factors, which may reduce heart disease risk.

For example, an analysis of 9 studies with a combined 293,172 participants found that after 10 years, people who took at least 700 mg of vitamin C daily had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who did not take a vitamin C supplement (10).

Interestingly, another analysis of 15 studies found that consuming vitamin C from foods — not supplements — was linked to a lower risk of heart disease.

However, scientists were unsure whether people who consumed vitamin-C-rich foods also followed a healthier lifestyle than people who took a supplement. Thus, it remains unclear whether the differences were due to vitamin C or other aspects of their diet (11).

Another analysis of 13 studies looked at the effects of taking at least 500 mg of vitamin C daily on risk factors for heart disease, such as blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

The analysis found that taking a vitamin C supplement significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol by approximately 7.9 mg/dL and blood triglycerides by 20.1 mg/dL (12).

In short, it seems that taking or consuming at least 500 mg of vitamin C daily may reduce the risk of heart disease. However, if you already consume a vitamin-C-rich diet, then supplements may not provide additional heart health benefits.

SUMMARY

Vitamin C supplements have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. These supplements may lower heart disease risk factors, including high blood levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.

Gout is a type of arthritis that affects approximately 4% of American adults (13).

It's incredibly painful and involves inflammation of the joints, especially those of the big toes. People with gout experience swelling and sudden, severe attacks of pain (14).

Gout symptoms appear when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body. At high levels, it may crystallize and deposit in the joints.

Interestingly, several studies have shown that vitamin C may help reduce uric acid in the blood and, as a result, protect against gout attacks.

For example, a study including 1,387 men found that those who consumed the most vitamin C had significantly lower blood levels of uric acid than those who consumed the least (15).

Another study followed 46,994 healthy men over 20 years to determine whether vitamin C intake was linked to developing gout. It found that people who took a vitamin C supplement had a 44% lower gout risk (16).

Additionally, an analysis of 13 studies found that taking a vitamin C supplement over 30 days significantly reduced blood uric acid, compared with a placebo (17).

While there appears to be a strong link between vitamin C intake and uric acid levels, more studies on the effects of vitamin C on gout are needed.

SUMMARY

Vitamin-C-rich foods and supplements have been linked to reduced blood uric acid levels and lower risk of gout.

Iron is an important nutrient that has a variety of functions in the body. It's essential for making red blood cells and transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Vitamin C supplements can help improve the absorption of iron from the diet. Vitamin C assists in converting iron that is poorly absorbed, such as plant-based sources of iron, into a form that is easier to absorb (18).

This is especially useful for people on a meat-free diet, as meat is a major source of iron.

In fact, simply consuming 100 mg of vitamin C may improve iron absorption by 67% (19).

As a result, vitamin C may help reduce the risk of anemia among people prone to iron deficiency.

In one study, 65 children with mild iron deficiency anemia were given a vitamin C supplement. Researchers found that the supplement alone helped control their anemia (20).

If you have low iron levels, consuming more vitamin-C-rich foods or taking a vitamin C supplement may help improve your blood iron levels.

SUMMARY

Vitamin C can improve the absorption of iron that is poorly absorbed, such as iron from meat-free sources. It may also reduce the risk of iron deficiency.

One of the main reasons people take vitamin C supplements is to boost their immunity, as vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system.

First, vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection (21).

Second, vitamin C helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful molecules, such as free radicals.

Third, vitamin C is an essential part of the skin's defense system. It's actively transported to the skin, where it can act as an antioxidant and help strengthen the skin's barriers (22).

Studies have also shown that taking vitamin C may shorten wound healing time (23, 24).

What's more, low vitamin C levels have been linked to poor health outcomes.

For example, people who have pneumonia tend to have lower vitamin C levels, and vitamin C supplements have been shown to shorten the recovery time (25, 26).

SUMMARY

Vitamin C may boost immunity by helping white blood cells function more effectively, strengthening your skin's defense system, and helping wounds heal faster.

Dementia is a broad term used to describe symptoms of poor thinking and memory.

It affects over 35 million people worldwide and typically occurs among older adults (27).

Studies suggest that oxidative stress and inflammation near the brain, spine, and nerves (altogether known as the central nervous system) can increase the risk of dementia (28).

Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant. Low levels of this vitamin have been linked to an impaired ability to think and remember (29, 30).

Moreover, several studies have shown that people with dementia may have lower blood levels of vitamin C (31, 32).

Furthermore, high vitamin C intake from food or supplements has been shown to have a protective effect on thinking and memory as you age (33, 34, 35).

Vitamin C supplements may aid against conditions like dementia if you don't get enough vitamin C from your diet. However, additional human studies are needed to understand the effects of vitamin C supplements on nervous system health (36).

SUMMARY

Low vitamin C levels have been linked to an increased risk of memory and thinking disorders like dementia, while a high intake of vitamin C from foods and supplements has been shown to have a protective effect.

While vitamin C has many scientifically proven benefits, it also has many unfounded claims supported by either weak evidence or no evidence at all.

Here are some unproven claims about vitamin C:

  • Prevents the common cold. While vitamin C appears to reduce the severity of colds and recovery time by 8% in adults and 14% in children, it does not prevent them (37).
  • Reduces cancer risk. A handful of studies have linked vitamin C intake to a lower risk of several cancers. However, most studies have found that vitamin C does not affect the risk of developing cancer (38).
  • Protects against eye disease. Vitamin C has been linked to reduced risks of eye diseases like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. However, vitamin C supplements have no effect or may even cause harm (39, 40, 41).
  • May treat lead toxicity. Although people with lead toxicity appear to have low vitamin C levels, there is no strong evidence from human studies that show vitamin C can treat lead toxicity (42).
SUMMARY

Although vitamin C has many proven benefits, it has not been shown to prevent the common cold, reduce cancer risk, protect against eye diseases, or treat lead toxicity.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained from the diet or supplements.

It has been linked to many impressive health benefits, such as boosting antioxidant levels, lowering blood pressure, protecting against gout attacks, improving iron absorption, boosting immunity, and reducing heart disease and dementia risk.

Overall, vitamin C supplements are a great and simple way to boost your vitamin C intake if you struggle to get enough from your diet.
