How to Take the World’s Most Popular Vitamin
Announcement posted by Communeco 18 Aug 2015
We all know the world’s most popular vitamin in its synthetic form: a little orange tablet, tangy to the taste. But did you know it’s best to get your daily intake of Vitamin C naturally as possible to ensure effectiveness?
Wholefood nutritionist, naturopath and chef Janella Purcell today announced the launch of Lifestream Natural Vitamin C Powder, a new 100 percent natural wholefood supplement that can be added to cereal, salads, smoothies, juices and other dishes (see Janella’s Immunity Boosting Nut Butter Cups recipe below).
An important antioxidant that boosts immunity, particularly when needed in the colder months and during stress, Vitamin C is also renowned for promoting healthy gums and supporting strong, healthy collagen and connective tissues.
However, not all Vitamin C supplements are equal, with most made from synthetic ingredients. Such formulations are not as bioavailable (readily absorbed by the body) as natural wholefood Vitamin C, which is enhanced by the presence of co-factors, such as bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Choosing a wholefood source promotes maximum bioavailability, as nature intended.
The ABC’s of Vitamin CIt is ideal to take when the immune system is compromised or as additional seasonal support.
“Vitamin C keeps our teeth and gums healthy, helps to heal cuts, improves the mucus membranes (as in when we have a cold or sinus), helps to absorb iron, prevents inflammation, improves circulation, and therefore prevents heart disease, and is wonderful for our liver,” says Janella.“The powdered form of Vitamin C is brilliant for adding to smoothies, raw desserts and other cold to room temperature foods — it has a pleasant, subtle taste that blends seamlessly into your favourite dishes, unlike traditional artificially produced or flavoured Vitamin C.”
As a water soluble vitamin, it is important to take vitamin C each day, preferably as food rather than as a chemical. With Lifestream Natural Vitamin C powder, each dose provides 340mg of bioavailable vitamin C,
Lifestream wholefoods also produce Lifestream Natural Vitamin C in capsule form.
