Vitality C (with GMS-Ribose) 200 Grams

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that isn’t stored in your body. Since it’s water-soluble, you need to consume it every day to avoid a deficiency. The most common sources of this vitamin are citrus fruits such as oranges, but you may not know that tomatoes and broccoli are also rich in vitamin C. However, you may not be getting enough from food sources on a daily basis; in that case, a supplement may be the answer.

As an antioxidant, it blocks the damage to your DNA done by free radicals. Studies have shown that free radicals contribute to the aging process, making you look and feel older than your years. In addition, they also contribute to heart disease, arthritis, and certain types of cancer.

Your body also needs vitamin C because it helps the tissues in your body grow and repair themselves. Collagen is a protein that creates skin, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and cartilage; this particular vitamin promotes collagen production. It also helps maintain bones and teeth, while assisting in the natural wound healing process.

How can you tell if you’re not getting enough vitamin C? First of all, smokers tend to have lower levels of it. Specific signs of vitamin D deficiency include gingivitis, dry and splitting hair, scaly skin, nosebleeds, a weakened immune system, and bruising easily. In the past, scurvy was a common condition resulting from a severe lack of vitamin D; fortunately, scurvy is now rare in developed countries. In the long term, a lack of vitamin C can contribute to serious conditions like gallbladder disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis (built up plaque in the blood vessels).

VITALITY C includes sodium molecules (unrelated to table salt) to make vitamin C far easier for your cells to absorb through multiple pathways. American Nutriceuticals has created VITALITY C to have 50% metabolites (as compared to 1% in other products) with its unique GMS-Riboperine Metabolites. A positive side effect of these crystals is that they reduce intestinal upset.

All you have to do is stir one to four delicious teaspoons of neutral pH, non-acidic VITALITY C in your drink every day. Children can also consume reduced quantities.
