Supreme C

A tasty blend of stable Vitamin C sources in whole food form providing a wide range of health benefits. These health benefits include collagen synthesis, a protein that the body uses to grow skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. This means Vitamin C has the ability to impact one’s physical appearance by potentially reducing the signs of aging. The problem is that vitamin C biosynthesis cannot be performed in the body, so it must be added into our diet on a daily basis. While fruits and vegetables contain this molecule, it would be a tall task to receive the adequate amount for its benefits to be noticeable.

Vitamin C is critical to immune health as it is known to ward off the common cold, flu, and other viral diseases. Due to its assistance in the formation and preservation of glutathione in the liver, the master antioxidant, vitamin C helps combat oxidative stress. This alone makes supplementation a necessity as we grow older and accumulate toxins in the body. A very important fact that is worth mentioning is the relationship vitamin C has with iron absorption.

Many people today deal with low iron levels, which is needed for the building of blood. Without sufficient iron, hemoglobin production is diminished. Hemoglobin acts as the transporter of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and with low hemoglobin levels comes low oxygen. A decline in blood oxygen saturation can trigger a cascade of adverse effects, ranging from diminished cognitive function and fatigue to more severe complications such as organ damage. Supreme C contains herbs with not only vitamin C, but iron as well making this a great choice. Some of the featured herbs are Noni, Camu Camu, Lemon peel, Baobab and a lesser known, but powerful source of vitamin C, Pine needles!
