| Vitamin C Ascorbates is an optimal
nutritional supplement that combines ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) with
Calcium Carbonate. By combining these two dietary ingredients, we have
created a buffered source of Vitamin C that will not contribute to
gastric irritation in sensitive persons. Pure Vitamin C in the calcium
ascorbic form with added bioflavonoids aids in increased absorption and
anti-oxidant activity. In a superior capsule form, Aequus Vitamin C
Ascorbates can be attributed for easy digestion. |

What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is the most widely used supplement. There are several
types of Vitamin C. Ascorbic Acid is the basic form. To buffer
the natural acidity of vitamin C, manufacturers can bind it to
other molecules. Two examples are calcium ascorbate (found in
Aequus Vitamin C Ascorbates with Bioflavonoids) and ascorbyl
palmitate. It also makes vitamin C easier for the body to absorb
and decreases the loss of the vitamin through the urine. This
increases the cost of the supplement but it is beneficial to
those taking high doses of vitamin C and those who cannot
tolerate acidic substances.
Why do I need Vitamin C?
Humans cannot manufacture their own vitamin C,
therefore it must be taken in through the diet. Vitamin
C is a water-soluble antioxidant that is used all over the
body. It speeds tissue growth and repairs tissue, supports
hormone production, increases immune system functioning,
protects the body from toxins and prevents cancer. It also
regulates cholesterol, blood pressure and blood clotting.
Vitamin C is often combined with bioflavonoids like hesperidin
and rutin. These substances work synergistically with vitamin C.
Rosehips are a good substitute for straight vitamin C because
they are the richest natural source of vitamin C. Rosehips are
also a good source of bioflavonoids. Vitamin C is lost in the
urine only a few hours after it is taken so frequent dosing is
important.
What are Bioflavonoids?
Bioflavonoids exist in all plants. They occur in high
concentrations in citrus plants, alongside vitamin C.
Bioflavonoids are essential for the absorption of vitamin C. The
body cannot produce them, rather they must be taken in through
the diet. They are called Vitamin P because they regulate
permeability of vessels and increase vessel strength.
Why do I need Bioflavonoids?
Bioflavonoids are used to treat injuries because they repair
damaged capillaries, which allows the body to restore proper
blood flow to the area. Therefore pain is relieved and bruising
is minimized. They work with vitamin C to kill bacteria,
increase circulation, stimulate bile flow, lower cholesterol,
prevent cataracts and prevent herpes outbreaks.
What are Hesperidin and Rutin?
Hesperidin and Rutin are bioflavonoid complexes. Rutin and
hesperidin are bioflavonoids that are well studied for their
effect on the vascular system. They can be used for minimizing
bruising or treating conditions such as hemorrhoids or varicose
veins because all of these conditions occur due to compromised
veins and capillaries. |
