Ascorbate is a buffered, low acidity from of vitamin C which is more gentle on
the stomach than the acidic form of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C and magnesium are
required for healthy immune function.
Magnesium
ascorbate provides flavonoids as a potent source of vitamin C and magnesium,
together with billberry extract (Vaccimium Myrtillus) which
provides flavonoids as a potent source of antioxidants.
Also contains
Amylase and cellulose, which are enzymes that assist with the digestion of
starches and cellulose.
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.
Potassium ascorbate is contra-indicated in kidney disease and hyperkalemia.
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.
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.
