Vitamin C Benefits

The Best Vitamin For a Healthy Life

Vitamin C was first synthesized by Albert Sznet-Gyorgyi (1893-1986), for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1937.[1,2] Later on, this vitamin was found to be a cure for scurvy, a disease that killed tens of thousands of British sailors during the 18th century.

Further research also found that this vitamin could work wonders when used in therapeutic doses, way beyond the small amount that the so-called healthy diet provides to prevent scurvy.

Found in fresh fruit and vegetables, vitamin C also supports the formation of collagen. This is needed for muscles, tendons, bone and blood vessel repair, healthy teeth, and skin.

Did you know that all other mammals and animals make their own Vitamin C from glucose. Humans have somehow lost the genetically anchored ability to make vitamin C in their bodies from foods in general and that is why we have to rely on what we are able to get from our diet.

Vitamin C Uses

• It protects against serious radiation damage.
• Can help in treating one of the worst of all cancers, that of the pancreas.
• Reduces blood pressure drastically and keeps it at a proper level.
• Some forms of chemotherapy become more effective when vitamin C is provided simultaneously.
• It acts as an effective antihistamine in allergy.
• In some cases of early Alzheimer’s disease, vitamin C can slow down its development.
• Providing high-dose vitamin C can reduce and stop the progression of both osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis.
• In the 1950s, intravenous vitamin C was used by Dr. Klenner to treat polio and none of these victims developed paralysis, but nobody really knew why.
• Another example would be when vitamin C is provided to pre-diabetics it can stop the development of Type 2 diabetes, and even reverse it when it has started.
• It is so effective in preventing and treating septic shock that emergency medicine practitioners are advised to use it in each case at once.
• Most astonishing is the fact that, since 2015, we have known that Vitamin C kills colorectal cancer cells selectively, honing in on them specifically and sparing all other cells; there are no synthetic drugs that can do that.

High Dose Vitamin C

Documented evidence shows that Vitamin C is very well-tolerated even in high-dose intravenous therapy, but establishing optimal dosages is still in its exploratory phase. None of this is questionable, and now we are even beginning to understand it.

High dose Vitamin C can be done intravenous or by mouth ideally taking a clean, non GMO and filler free powder form. This second option is best to go with bowel tolerance and that means loose stool not diarrhea. Most importantly it is best to start slow and increase dosage every day.

Vitamin C at bowel tolerance doses can cleanse the body & gut, balance hormones, neutralize toxins, and eliminate oxidative stress.

“Vitamin C is the primal panacea.” -Dr. Thomas Levy

Liposomal Vitamin C

A Vitamin C molecule can’t just walk from the digestive system to the bloodstream. It depends on a special type of proteins called active transporters to carry it there, but these proteins are in very short supply. So, the Vitamin C molecule is likely to get left behind in the digestive system where enzymes show up and digest it.

Since Vitamin C is water soluble, your body can’t store it, in conclusion all the Vitamin C that doesn’t get absorbed is excreted.

Vitamin C encapsulated in fatty acids ( liposomes) doesn’t rely on the active transporters. Liposomes are made with the same material that makes up your cell membranes, phospholipids. These can easily pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream where they make their way to the cells and assimilate through the cell membrane.

The end result is more Vitamin C absorbs into your cells !
