Nutritionists believe that a scorbic acid by itself is notVitamin
C, it is only ascorbic acid. It is only one component of an
entire vitamin C complex. As a result, vitamin C is a
very misunderstood vitamin. Unfortunately, back in the
1930s when RDAs were established, government scientists
decided that you rate vitamin C according to the amount
of ascorbic acid it contains. So, ascorbic acid became
the marker, ignoring all the other nutritional bonds ascorbic
acid is attached to. In nature, ascorbic acid is an antioxidant
that preserves and protects the vitamin C complex, along
with the whole plant. To synthesize out the preservative,
without the other components, in our opinion, was a mistake.
The
vitamin C complex found in nature consists of enzymes,
bioflavonoids and scores of other components that are
collectively referred to as the P factor. These P factors
serve the body in numerous other ways besides antioxidant
activity. The P factors strengthen the vascular system.
They make the vessels tougher and more durable. They improve
the integrity of the capillaries. The bioflavonoids are
anti-inflammatory, helping to improve wound healing and
particularly effective in reducing the inflammation of
ulcers.
Vitamin
K is another part of the C complex. It promotes prothrombin,
which means it helps in coagulation (blood clotting).
Other components of the C complex increase the oxygen
carrying capacity of the blood. This is extremely significant
since oxygen is probably the one essential nutrient we
absolutely can not live without, and the oxygen levels
of our environment continue to decline. Additionally,
if you have a cold or flu, you want to get oxygen to your
tissues where it oxidizes the toxins and carries them
off as carbon dioxide and water.
As
previously mentioned, the natural C complex contains enzymes,
the most significant being tyrosinase, which is organic
copper. Copper is a cofactor in several enzyme systems
in the body. It is a catalyst in the creation of hemoglobin
in red blood cells. It synergistically assists vitamin
C in collagen and elastin formation which improves the
integrity of connective tissue.
A
complete vitamin C complex has much more nutritional value
and therapeutic potential than synthesized ascorbic acid
which is common in most other dietary supplements. Harmonic
Innerprize’s Camu-Camu All Natural Vitamin C Complex
is the way nature intended vitamin C to be delivered into
the body. It is complimented in a base by two other highly
concentrated vitamin C fruits; Amla fruit from India and
Goji Berries from Tibet. Monatrace™ minerals energetically
harmonize the formula.
