Happy National Vitamin C Day

National Vitamin C Day on April 4th each year shares all the ways vitamin C nurtures and benefits our health, inside and out! I thought this was the perfect time to share a few of my favorite vitamin c products that I use daily.

Isotonix® Vitamin C

I have been taking Vitamin C vitamins since I was very little. My mom used to give me these really big pills that were not only hard to swallow, but they always gave me an upset stomach. I’m thankful that she looked out for my health, but now I found Isotonix Vitamin C. I drink it every day and no upset tummies for me!!

Here are just some of the benefits of Vitamin C when taken orally:

• Promotes optimal immune functions
• Provides antioxidant protection
• Promotes normal regulation of heart functions
• Promotes cognitive health
• Promotes skeleton, muscle and skin health
• Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels

The two most important factors when searching for the best quality nutritional supplements are absorption and potency. Isotonix supplements, when mixed with water, have the same pH and osmotic pressure as the bodys fluids, such as tears, plasma and blood. In order for meaningful absorption of nutritional content to take place, all food must be converted into an isotonic state. This process could take up to three hours. This time consuming process limits the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body. However, Isotonix Vitamin C sets itself apart from other products on the market providing you with the maximum absorption of the nutrients within the product in the shortest amount of time.

All in all, Isotonix Vitamin C provides superior delivery of the nutrients your body needs in the most cost effective way. According to researchers at the University of Leeds, Guys Hospital in London, Baylor University and the Mayo Clinic, among others, have shown that not only do isotonic solutions leave the stomach faster, but also that the osmotic pressure of the stomach contents is one of the controlling mechanisms for the rate at which the stomach empties leading to more efficient assimilation by all of the bodys systems.

The liquid composition of Isotonix Vitamin C Formula places the vitamins and minerals in an optimal position for absorption and superior delivery to the bodys systems. Isotonix Vitamin C is an exemplary product that leaves you with peace of mind, knowing that you are doing the most and the best for your health.*

Does Isotonix Vitamin C provides the recommended daily allowance?
Yes, Isotonix Vitamin C contains 500 mg of vitamin C per serving, which is an optimal amount for immune system maintenance. In times of illness or distress, it may be helpful to supplement with a higher serving size of vitamin C.*

Will Isotonix Vitamin C enhance my immune system?
Yes, in several ways actually. Vitamin C has been heralded for quite possibly being the best immune system supporter and antioxidant available today. People who take daily doses of vitamin C can support their immune system. Vitamin C supports the immune system by protecting the body from free radical damage. As a water-soluble vitamin, ascorbic acid performs its antioxidant functions within the aqueous compartments of the blood and inside cells and can help restore the antioxidant potential of vitamin E (a fat-soluble antioxidant). Support of immune cell function is also a key role performed by vitamin C.*

Is Isotonix Vitamin C safe for children and their delicate systems?
Children should take DNA Miracles Isotonix Multivitamin which has a lower serving of vitamin C in the formulation. Vitamin C supplementation is especially beneficial for children.*

VitaShield Vitamin C & E Liposome Intensive Moisturizer

This is the most silky moisturizers I have ever used and it makes my skin so soft.

VitaShield Vitamin C & E Liposome Intensive Moisturizer drenches the skin with ingredients that help keep it looking smooth and firm. Using a cutting-edge liposome delivery system, VitaShield Vitamin C & E Liposome Intensive Moisturizer penetrates the skin and distributes powerful antioxidants to the lower layers. These antioxidants, vitamins C and E, help minimize the appearance of the effects of stress and environmental damage for a silky, smooth feel.

VitaShield Vitamin C & E Liposome Intensive Moisturizer contains several other key ingredients that work together to provide you with superior skin health. Sodium Hyaluronate is a natural component of skin that attracts and retains hundreds of times its own weight in water, providing your skin with long term moisturization. Combined with isopropyl palmitate, it helps hydrate and soften the skin. Working in unison, these potent ingredients help smooth, hydrate, and firm the skin for a more youthful appearance.

What benefits will I receive from the other ingredients? 
VitaShield Vitamin C & E Intensive Moisturizer is fortified with green tea, gingko biloba, ginseng, horsetail and heather extracts. These ingredients support skin tone, help maintain skin’s resistance to fatigue and stress, promote healthy collagen synthesis and skin firmness, protect the skin, and provide free radical protection.

Why does my complexion look dull and how can I achieve a healthy glow? 
As we age, free radicals negatively impact the skin and regeneration slows, resulting in fewer new cells on the skin’s surface. VitaShield Vitamin C & E Intensive Moisturizer helps protect from free radicals to promote normal skin cell regeneration to brighten your complexion for a healthy-looking glow.

What causes loss of elasticity, wrinkles, lines and furrows? 
Collagen is a group of naturally-occurring proteins that bind our skin cells together. When collagen production is slowed, our skin becomes less toned and firm. Vitamin C helps keep skin firm, lessening the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while Vitamin E helps to moisturize skin for a smoother appearance.

What can I do to help slow the signs of aging? 
All biological systems depend on antioxidants, such as vitamin C, A and E, beta-carotene and selenium for protection against free radicals, which has been shown to be one of the major causes of visible signs of aging. Vitamin C is a particularly important nutrient for the skin, as it helps promote and maintain collagen. With the best ingredients possible, all VitaShield products are meticulously formulated to keep the integrity of those ingredients – so you reap all of the benefits.
