Humans are one of the few creatures that do not produce their own vitamin C and must obtain it entirely from their diet. In addition, more Vitamin C is needed when the body is under stress. Vitamin C stimulates the adrenal glands to manufacture cortisone, which is involved combating stress. Vitamin C also plays a key role in the formation of collagen, found in bones, teeth, skin, tendons, arteries, joints, and the eye. This promotes the healing of wounds, fractures and hemorrhages.

Gematria's Vitamin C Complex contains a special blend of ingredients that are rich in vitamin C and support vitamin C absorption in the body. The bioavailability of Vitamin C Complex is further enhanced by Gematria's patented laser enhancement technology known as "photo-acoustic resonance".

The following list briefly discusses some of the health conditions that may be supported by vitamin C supplementation:

· Aging Research on aging has focused on free radicals and other agents that cause oxidative damage to the body and gradual failure of the immune system. Many experts now believe that these are major factors in the aging process. Vitamin C is effective at scavenging free radicals, preventing damaging oxidation reactions in the body, and stimulating the immune system, thus slowing the aging process.

· Allergies Vitamin C is a powerful natural antihistamine. Studies have shown that people who took vitamin C regularly had fewer allergy problems, respiratory infections, and asthma attacks.

· Atherosclerosis Vitamin C helps to normalize blood-fat levels. High-dose treatments have shown to be effective in reversing moderately severe atherosclerosis.

· Bronchitis Vitamin C helps the immune system to regain balance, enabling it to fight the infection. In studies, hospital patients with bronchitis recovered faster when they took vitamin C supplements.

· Cancer Studies show that people who regularly eat foods high in vitamin C have a lower than average risk of developing various malignancies, especially cancer of the stomach and esophagus.

· Allergies Vitamin C is a powerful natural antihistamine. Studies have shown that people who took vitamin C regularly had fewer allergy problems, respiratory infections, and asthma attacks.

· Colds and flu Taking 2,000 to 4,000 milligrams of vitamin C has been found to ease symptoms of colds and flu and to shorten the duration of the infection.

· Glaucoma Glaucoma involves an increase in intraocular pressure (fluid pressure in the eyeball) that develops when the drainage mechanism for this fluid becomes impaired. Many studies show that vitamin C lowers intraocular pressure.

· Herpes The acids in vitamin C and Acerola Berry break down the mucus in which the herpes virus multiplies. The high concentration of vitamin C provided by the herb interacts with the micronutrient copper to eliminate as many as 99.994 percent of the viruses that would be shed by infected cells. Clinical studies of herpes treatment have found that vitamin C reduces pain and swelling, and speeds the healing of scabs by several days.

· Infertility For treatment of infertility caused by sperm abnormalities in men, vitamin C supplementation has been shown to be as effective as several fertility-enhancing medications.

Take a look at the ingredients in Vitamin C Complex:

Ascorbyl Palmitate & Ascorbic Acid
Water-soluble Ascorbic Acid is contained in the watery parts of fruits and vegetables and represents one of the least chemically stable molecules in the vitamin family, as it is easily destroyed by mild alkali solutions such as baking soda. Once ingested, Ascorbic Acid is readily absorbed by the intestines and continues its journey through the watery components tissues that make up the human body, helping to build collagen protein while doubling as an antioxidant along the way. Ascorbyl Palmitate is an amphipathic molecule, meaning one end is water-soluble and the other end is fat-soluble. It is formed from Ascorbic Acid and Palmitic Acid, thus creating a fat-soluble form of Vitamin C. This dual solubility allows it to be incorporated into cell membranes, protecting them from harmful oxidants.

Acerola Berry
The acerola is a bushy tree that grows to a height of ten to fifteen feet tall. It is native to the West Indies and southern Texas southward to northern South America. Acerola berries are the fleshy red fruits that are about the size of a cherry and can be eaten fresh or used to make jams and jellies. Acerola berries have one of the highest content of natural vitamin C per gram, about 350 times more vitamin C than oranges, so we made it one of the main ingredients in Vitamin C Complex. In addition, Acerola has a carotene content comparable to that of carrots and also supplies magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and B vitamins. As an exceptionally rich source of vitamin C, Acerola Berry helps support against addiction to nitroglycerin medication. For people who must take nitroglycerin, the vitamin C in Acerola Berry also supports against orthostatic hypotension, a condition that causes a tendency to faint when moving from a seated position to a standing position.

Bioflavonoids: Quercetin & Rutin
Bioflavonoids were first discovered by Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgy in the 1930's. Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments thought to enhance the absorption of Vitamin C, and possibly to prolong the effectiveness of it as well. Bioflavonoids and vitamin C work together to help maintain the thin walls of the capillaries, therefore promoting circulation and preventing bleeding or bruising. They have been linked to having an antibacterial effect, stimulating bile production and even assisting with fighting allergies and asthma. They are also effectively used in the treatment of sport injuries as they are pain relieving. Bioflavonoids may also support the body against oral herpes. Quercitin, a cousin of Rutin, is a particularly unique bioflavonoid that has been extensively studied by researchers around the world because of its unique synergistic relationship with Vitamin C.

Kiwi
Kiwi fruit is another excellent source of vitamin C, as well as vitamin E. In the world of phytonutrient research, kiwifruit has fascinated researchers for its ability to protect DNA in the nucleus of human cells from oxygen-related damage. Researchers are not yet certain which compounds in kiwi give it this protective antioxidant capacity, but they are sure that this healing property is not limited to those nutrients most commonly associated with kiwifruit, including its vitamin C or beta-carotene content. Since kiwi contains a variety of flavonoids and carotenoids that have demonstrated antioxidant activity, these phytonutrients in kiwi may be responsible for this DNA protection. The protective properties of kiwi have been demonstrated in a study with 6- and 7-year-old children in northern and central Italy. The more kiwi or citrus fruit these children consumed, the less likely they were to have respiratory-related health problems including wheezing, shortness of breath, or night coughing. These same antioxidant protective properties may have been involved in providing protection for these children.

Grapefruit You may eat oranges and other citrus fruits and drink their juice because of their vitamin C, but they also contain other important nutrients. Citrus fruits contain carotenoids and fiber - notably pectin, which helps lower cholesterol. Besides beta-carotene, pink and red grapefruit provide lycopene, another carotenoid, which may help prevent prostate cancer. They are also rich in polyphenols, which include a wide range of flavonoids and related compounds, many with beneficial effects and nearly all with tongue-twisting names. In addition, scientists have been discovering an array of interesting and potent phytochemicals in citrus fruit. There has been a lot of research to support the benefits of citrus fruits. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that consuming just one extra daily serving of certain fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits or juices, reduces the risk of stroke by about 20%. Earlier research had also suggested that flavonoids such as those in citrus could lower the risk of stroke.

A Dutch study found that citrus fruit, probably because of its supply of the B vitamin folic acid, lowers blood levels of homo-cysteine, a substance that may increase the risk of heart disease. Citrus skin contains D-limonene and coumarins, which leach into the juice. D-limonene may help detoxify potentially cancer-causing compounds while reducing the activity of proteins that trigger abnormal cell growth, according to laboratory studies. Coumarins help reduce blood clotting and may also have anti-cancer capacity. Certain compounds that give citrus fruit their bitter or tart taste are also believed to have antioxidant and anti-cancer effects.

Guava
Guava is widely grown in the tropics and is rich in tannins, phenols, triterpenes, flavonoids, essential oils, saponins, carotenoids, lectins, vitamins, fiber and fatty acids. Guava fruit is higher in vitamin C than citrus and contains appreciable amounts of vitamin A as well. Guava fruits are also a good source of pectin - a dietary fiber. The leaves of guava are rich in flavonoids, in particular, quercetin. Much of guava's therapeutic activity is attributed to these flavonoids. The flavonoids have demonstrated antibacterial activity. Quercetin is thought to contribute to the anti-diarrhea effect of guava; it is able to relax intestinal smooth muscle and inhibit bowel contractions. In addition, other flavonoids and triterpenes in guava leaves show antispasmodic activity. Guava also has antioxidant properties which is attributed to the polyphenols found in the leaves.

Mango
Mangos are full packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants. They also contain an enzyme with stomach soothing properties similar to papain found in papayas, as well as a lot of tryptophan, the precursor of the "happiness-hormone" serotonin.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit Seed Extract is loaded with healthy polyphenolic compounds like quercitin and rutinoside and is helpful in alkalizing the blood. It is commonly reported to have powerful antimicrobial activity and is widely used both as a preservative and to fight many types of infections. It also naturally detoxifies, enhances and supports the immune system. This is probably because Grapefruit Seed Extract contains high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E and bioflavonoids.

Suggested Usage:
For optimal vitamin C supplementation, it is best to take small quantities at intervals throughout the day, rather than a higher quantity all at once. For general use, we suggest taking two capsules per serving, up to three times throughout the day. For extra immune support during cold & allergy season or times of wound-healing, you may wish to take one capsule per serving at two hour intervals throughout the day, up to eight capsules a day. "Body tolerance" is the largest amount of vitamin C a person can take without experiencing gas, loose stools, or diarrhea*. People who feel well most often discover a body-tolerance quantity of 2,000 to 12,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, while people who do not feel well find their tolerance increased to 10,000 to 30,000 (or more) milligrams daily. Usually, as health improves, the amount of vitamin C the body can tolerate gradually decreases. You can find your body tolerance by starting with a relatively low amount, perhaps 500 to 1,000 milligrams with each meal, and gradually increasing the dose every day until you notice any of symptoms mentioned above. Then decrease the amount slightly to the largest amount you can tolerate, with continued adjustment as needed. * Please note that the Quercitin and Guava in Vitamin C Complex may help to naturally balance out the potential diarrheic effects of vitamin C supplementation.

Precautions:
If you have a family history of kidney stones, screening for ascorbate-induced hyperoxaluria is recommended.
