Here is where you will learn about the Vitamin C used in both Life Glow Plus and Super Life Glow.
The least expensive form of Vitamin C is called Ascorbic Acid. There is nothing wrong with it although there are much fancier forms of Vitamin C that have various characteristics that make them preferable in many situations.
Vibrant Life is working on a project to bring more information about Vitamin C to you than any other source on the web, and even more interesting, to offer you lower prices for a large variety of types of Vitamin C than any other place on the web.
The amino acid, cysteine, is the most important ingredient in an oral chelation formula. There needs to be a minimum of 300 milligrams of it per day to get the "oral chelation" effect. Life Glow Plus contains 300 milligrams in the recommended daily dosage, plus another 300 mg of the stronger form of cysteine -- N Acetyl Cysteine.
Cysteine is a substance that needs to be balanced in ANY formula with Vitamin C in a quantity of about 4 or 5 times as much as there is cysteine.
Thus, if you have 300 milligrams of cysteine in a formula, you need to have between 2,000 and 3,000 milligrams of Vitamin C.
So, Life Glow Plus has 3,000 milligrams of Vitamin C.
Most people have not taken such a large dose of Vitamin C. Many people think they are doing very well when they take 500 milligrams, or even 1,000 milligrams of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is so cheap and so beneficial that just about everyone ought to be taking much larger doses.
Critics claim that such large doses are wasted -- as proven by the fact that your urine turns yellow. They say that the yellow urine is the excess Vitamin C.
Well, that may well be true. But another truth is that the human body cannot manufacture Vitamin C. We need to get it from food and supplements.
Another thing about Vitamin C is that it is a "water soluble" vitamin which means that it "washes out" of the body every day. Yesterday's excess Vitamin C is gone today!
Finally, and related to the "wash out" comment, Vitamin C does not get stored in the body.
So, you DO need Vitamin C every day.
Now, how much do you need?
Well, you can have a sudden demand placed on the body where several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C might be "used up" in just a few hours. Or, you may go through several very calm days, no stress, and not need more than a small amount of Vitamin C each of those days.
This is surely one of the cheapest forms of health insurance ever invented.
You take 3,000 milligrams of Vitamin C because that is necessary to balance the 300 milligrams of Cysteine.
But, more than that, you then have all that yellow urine to tell you that, on that day, your insurance policy of Vitamin C was not used. Good for you!
What you should worry about is when and if your urine is NOT yellow. That might mean that ALL the vitamin C you are taking got used up and that, perhaps, you should even take MORE!
If you want to supplement Life Glow Plus, or Super Life Glow, with additional vitamins, or additional quantities of any of the ingredients, you can certainly do that.
There are very effective tests for Vitamin C -- where you deliberately take larger and larger doses, each day, until you get diarrhea. THEN, you reduce your dosage so that you don't have diarrhea. It's called the "bowel tolerance test," and usually would be done under the supervision of a doctor. It would not be unusual for a very sick person (that's when you would normally do this test) to discover that they can use 50,000 milligrams of Vitamin C without getting diarrhea, and without their urine turning yellow. When you are THAT sick, THAT quantity of Vitamin C could be very beneficial to you.
We decided NOT to use the cheaper form of Vitamin C in our Life Glow Plus and Super Life Glow, but instead used "calcium ascorbate." This is simply a form of Ascorbic Acid which has been "buffered" with calcium so that there would be less chance of an upset to the stomach.
Incidentally, the calcium which "comes along" with Calcium Ascorbate is, in fact, calcium carbonate. That is NOT intended to be a high quality source of calcium. On our label we show that calcium separate from the Vitamin C, so sometimes people think that we have deliberately added a cheap form of calcium to our formula. No. We simply added a slightly more expensive form of Vitamin C, and showed the calcium portion of that Calcium Ascorbate separately on the label.
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition 51 (Suppl 1) (Supplement 1): S28-S33. (1997)
Vitamin C comprises two major forms: both present in biological tissues and food, namely, L-ascorbic acid and L-dehyroascorbic acid. These two forms are interconvertible, by redox chemistry,via an intermediate free radical from called either ascorbate free radical (AFR), or semi- or mono-dehydroascorbate. This form has a short half-life (although longer than that of many other reactive free radicals: hence its functional significance as a free radical chain terminator). The term 'vitamin C' is usually used to include all the forms with its biological activity, whereas strictly speaking the individual chemical names should be used for the individual vitamers. Frequently, however, the terms 'vitamin C' and 'ascorbic acid' have been used synonymously.
Vitamin C Physiology Vitamin C is not synthesized in the body. It must be provided by diet Body stores are limited by control mechanisms which allow amaximum of 1200mg to be absorbed daily.
[Karl Note: The quantity shown, 1,200 mg, is not valid. The actual amount of Vitamin C that will be used in the body depends on the health or sickness of the body. The body, in some cases, can absorb as much as 50,000 mg.]
The half life of Vitamin C is 10-20
days, so aftert three weeks Vitamin C is gone in the absence of furtheringestion.
Vitamin C is a major anti-oxidant in the body and is important in mcollagen
synthesis.
