You know.. but.. Did you act accordingly?

.
Most of the people nowadays are smart people. They are the "I.T." people. Knowledge is on the tip of their fingers. They know that health is important. Learn about vitamins and minerals. Have informations about many type of diseases. Memorize the symptoms. Know that they should do this, avoid that, eat this more or less.
What I can conclude is that they are a "Genius". Mr "know everything".

But do you think that just by knowing "things" you can be healthy? People today active inside their minds but lack of "action". Have you heard the letters NATO?
For me it's "No Action, Talk Only". That is what my friend told me. In different perspective of life, I am thinking that it is the truth about people behind it.

When you know that you should take more vitamin-C because it is the key of having smooth skin (important especially for females) but do you know which are the best ways of obtaining it? I don't think so. That's why at last rich and famous people take short cut of going to do surgery and "botox" themselves. It's because they don't have the right informations. They only have the "money" (which in that case, no use at all).

At our time now, taking oranges is not the best way anymore. There are many ways the oranges you took could cause you more dangers compare when you not consuming it. We need supplement. From trusted source. PH7 vitamin-C is the most suitable supplement for our consumption. If you can find it yourself, then go for it. If I am in the position of helping you to grab it, just let me know. I won't let you down.

Are High Doses of Vitamin C Harmful to Our Health?

Vitamin C, in its various forms, is probably the least toxic substance of all supplementary. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluated all aspects of metabolisme and potential toxicity of ascorbates before adding them to theis list of "Generally Recognised As Safe" (GRAS) approved substances for oral use.

The only possible negative side-effect of regular large doses of Vitamin C is stomach and abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea. These effects are due to acidic nature of Vitamin C.


What is Win Ester-C250?

Elken's Win Ester-C250 is a unique form of Vitamin C specially produced for its far-reaching nutritional properties.


Patented

Win Ester-C250 was first developed in the early 1970s by an Arizona physician who recognised its importance to our health and well-being. It is a patented and guaranteed product that has maintained its position as the No.1 choice in US for decades.

By composition, Win Ester-C250 is a unique non-acidic combination of mineral ascorbates and all-natural Vitamin C metabolites. The Vitamin C components in Win Ester-C250 transforms in the body to produce Vitamin C metabolites, such as threonate. Whether manufactured in the body or ingested along with supplemental  Vitamin C, the metabolites enhance the concentration of Vitamin C in our cells. Thus, Win Ester-C250 with its added Vitamin C metabolites are more easily absorbed and retained by our body for the benefit of our cells and tissues.


Potency of Win Ester-C250

Every Win Ester-C250 tablet is equivalent to 100mg of ordinary Vitamin C. That means that it is 4 times as effective as 250mg of ordinary Vitamin C. Each tablet also contains 100mg bioflavanoids complex that has a protective effect on the Vitamin C component to facilitate greater absorption.


I will keep on sharing. I hope the informations can help someone who are in need of this type of supplements. For more info, please feel free to contact me. Thank you..

Benefits of Vitamin C

Fights viral and bacterial infections

One frequent viral infections is the common cold. This infection is difficult to avoid because the virus can mutate and adapt rapidly to changing environments. At present, there is no known medicine that can destroy the cold virus, which is why recovery takes time. However, evidence from numerous studies suggests that Vitamin C can reduce the severity and length of common colds, if taken at the onset of the symptoms. If taken in large doses, Vitamin C in particular demonstrates antiviral characteristics. These characteristics makes it effective in the fight against a variety of other viral and bacterial illnesses.


Strenghtens the Immune System

Vitamin C is easily absorbed, retained and utilised by our body cells, hence it plays an important role in strenghtening our immune system. Leucocytes, a type of white blood cells which plays an important role in the immune system, contain a very high concentration of ascorbic acid. The ascorbic acid decreases at the onset of infection and returns to normal after recovery. As the Vitamin C is gradually depleted from the leucocytes, the cold symptoms become more severe.


Reduces risk of chronic Diseases

Vitamin C possesses antioxidant properties that make it effective in preventing chronic diseases. Recent studies provide strong evidence that Vitamin C can prevent and even correct age-inflicted  ravages caused by unhealthy lifestyles as well as production of free radicals caused by environmental stress, UV radiation and chemical pollution. Vitamin C acts as a scavenger, working in the watery environtment of the cells to limit the build-up of free radicals. It also helps to regenerate fat-soluble antioxidants such as Vitamin E. It can also eliminate other harmful subtances in the body before they attack the body tissue and cause deadly diseases.


Lowers Cholesterol levels

Cholesterol is an essential sterol (fat-like substance) in the cell membrane. It is present in the blood and most tissues, especially in our nerve tissues, and is important for the production of many steroid hormonesand bile salts. It is essential to our well-being but excessive cholesterol may increase the risk of deposits in our blood vessels and block the flow of blood. Therefore, consumption of Vitamin C enables the conversion of excessive cholesterol into bile acids, which are subsequently excreted from the body.

Note on RDA

For practical reasons, the RDA for any nutrient is defined as "the level of intake necessary to meet the needs of all healthy people". For example, the RDA for Vitamin C only indicates the amount required by a person to prevent scurvy. It does not reflect the body's total need of the vitamin because it omits the numerous metabolic functions that require Vitamin C. It also fails to take into account the optimal amount required for it to serve as an effective anti-oxidant.

Unlike certain animals that can synthesise Vitamin C in their own bodies, the human body does not have such ability. Therefore, the RDA may not be effective to fulfill all the bodily requirements. Moreover, a person's need for Vitamin C dramatically increase given today's heavily polluted environment or when the person is a smoker, under stress or ill. For example, sick people require 20 - 40 times more Vitamin C. In addition, other factors such as age, body size, health status and biochemical factors in the body also affect the amount of Vitamin C required.

Dr Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize Winner has, after years of research and experiences, advocated a daily intake of 1 - 3g (1000 - 3000mg) of Vitamin C for the prevention of an illness, while 8 - 10g (8000 - 10000mg) would be required to cure an existing illness. Recent mounting evidence has lent support to his claim.

Why should we take Vitamin C everyday?

Our bodies cannot manyfacture vitamin C which, being water-soluble, cannot be stored. Unused or excess Vitamin C is easily excreted from the body. In addition, it is vulnerable to heat, ultraviolet rays, certain food additives, agricultural chemicals and is oxidised if exposed to air. In fact, it is so easily destroyed that most of the Vitamin C content in our food is already lost before it reaches our table. Therefore, it is important that we replenish our supply daily to obtain optimal benefits from this wonder vitamin. Smokers, people under great stress and convalescents should also increase their Vitamin C intake.


How much Vitamin C is recommended daily?


The table below is indicative of the US Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) for Vitamin C:

Facts About Vitamin C

Vitamin C is water-soluble and is found in abundance in many fresh fruits and vegetables. It is essential for the growth of healthy teeth, bones, subcutaneous tissues and cartilage.

A deficiency in Vitamin C could result in defective and weak  collagen as well as wounds that are difficult to heal. A prolonged deficiency can cause scurvy - a disease marked by debility, anaemia and edema. In severe cases of scurvy, the muscle cells sometimes fragment, resulting in mouth infections. The person starts to vomit blood and cerebral haemorrhage may result, leading to high fever, which often precedes death.


Why is Vitamin C Essential to our Health?


Vitamin C is essential for:

** The formation of healthy teeth, bones, subcutaneous tissues and cartilage.
** The maintenance of strong immune system.
** Deactivating harmful free radicals.
** Acting as an effective antioxidant.
** Preventing other chronic diseases.

Vitamin C is important for the healthy metabolism of many bodily functions and plays a more complex role in our health than was previously given credit for.

The Vital Role of Vitamin C

Of all the vitamins and minerals consumed by millions of people around the world, vitamin C has attracted more attention than any other for more than 30 years. It has been proven to play an important role in almost every aspect of our health and it is therefore not surprising that it has been a subject of great interest and research for decades.

The benefits of Vitamin C are not confined to the prevention of scurvy, a debilitating disease caused by its deficiency. Scientific studies have also discovered that it is potentially important in the prevention of major chronic diseases and some allergic disorders. It has also been known to prevent and relieve viral infections including the common cold and influenza or flu. It is also vital for maintaining a healthy immune system.

In recent years, scientists have continued to study this wonder vitamin. Among others, they have found the answers to questions such as: "How much vitamin C is sufficient?" ; "What type of vitamin C is best?" ; and "Is there any adverse effect if vitamin C is consumed in excess?"

For the following few posts I will discuss with you about this wonder vitamin. So keep up with this blog to add information in your knowledge box. :)
