Extended Information:
Q What is Ester-C" and how does it help my immunity"
A Nutra-Life Ester-C® is a high strength vitamin C formula for protection agaisnt a weakened immunity, together with the powerful benefits of bioflavonoids, which are essential for the processing of vitamin C within the body and the maintenance of capillary walls.
Nutra-Life Ester-C® is a special form of vitamin C, enabling the body to use it more effectively, and because it is non-acidic, it limits gastrointestinal irritation unlike the acidic form of vitamin C.
Q What are vitamin C metabolites?
A When vitamin C is metabolised (processed) in the body, it is broken down into secondary compounds (metabolites). Scientific studies show that these natural vitamin C metabolites found in Ester-C" cause vitamin C to be absorbed into the bloodstream twice as fast compared to ordinary vitamin C (ascorbic acid). It is these natural metabolites that make Ester-C" different to other vitamin C supplements and offer the unique benefits to health and wellbeing.
Q What is Calcium Threonate®
A Ester-C" calcium ascorbate contains significant levels of threonic acid, a natural metabolite of vitamin C. Threonic acid is standardised in Ester-C" as calcium threonate and is responsible for Ester-C"s high bioavailability, rapid and efficient entry into the cell, and its improved activity in more than 300 functions in the body. Ester-C" provides full 24 hour immune support compared to normal vitamin C, which is usually excreted after 2 hours.
Q What is vitamin C and its role in the body?
A Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin and one of lifes most important nutrients. Unlike other mammals, humans are unable to make their own vitamin C. The body does not store vitamin C for long periods of time, so it needs to be supplied in the diet each day.
One of vitamin Cs major roles in the body is in the synthesis and maintenance of collagen, an important structural protein needed for the formation of connective tissue. Connective tissue provides structure and support to many organs in the body and is found in skin, blood vessels, bone, teeth, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. This is especially evident following burns (including sunburn), injury or surgery, where vitamin Cs powerful wound healing activity is vital for repair and recovery.
Vitamin Cs antioxidant power helps protect heart health and is used by the body to support healthy capillaries and arterial walls. It also enhances the absorption of Iron, and assists the role of Iron in forming red blood cells (RBCs), making it useful in helping to prevent iron deficiency anaemia.
Large concentrations of vitamin C are found in the adrenal glands, which are important for managing the bodys stress response. In fact, during stress, vitamin C reserves are used up more rapidly than normal and supplementation is often recommended to individuals who suffer from chronic stress.
Q What role does vitamin C play in immunity?
Q What are some common signs of Vitamin C deficiency?
A The classic deficiency state is "scurvy". Other common deficiency signs include brittle hair and nails, bleeding gums, broken capillaries, easy bruising, lowered resistance to infection and slow wound healing.
