Vitamin C has a lot of health benefits, including:
Most vitamin C supplements on the market are made of synthetic vitamin C at a dosage of 500-1000mg, which is around five to ten times the recommended daily intake. The truth is, not only are these vitamin C acidic, making it hard to tolerate for some people, they are not as bioavailable as food-based vitamin C, as they lack all of the natural and essential co-factors needed for the body to fully absorb and utilize them. Moreoever, excessive intake of vitamin C does not enhance immunity or provide additional benefits, as they cannot be stored in the body and will be excreted in the urine. Long-term excessive intake of vitamin C may also increase the risk of kidney stone formation by increasing the oxalic acid component in the urine.
The best sources of vitamin C are in fact, natural fruits and vegetables, as they can be fully absorbed and utilized by the body. However, as food quality declines, and daily intake of fruits and vegetables may be inadequate, supplementation of a food-based vitamin C is the next best option.
Marie Reynolds London Vegan C is a unique food-based source of vitamin C, derived from some of nature’s richest sources of essential vitamins and antioxidants, including Acerola Cherry, Parsley, Blackcurrant, Rosehip, and Elderberry. Besides providing vitamin C in its most natural food state, it is abundant in a wide variety of natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, pectins, lycopene, carotenoids, plant sterols, catechins, polyphenolics and other phyto-nutrients.
As Vegan C is made up of pure natural food ingredients, it is gentle and easily recognised by the body for maximum digestion, absorption and utilisation, and is not rapidly excreted from the body. It is also non-acidic, making it suitable for everyone without aggravating certain conditions.
