Vitamin C powder is an essential requirement of the body and hundreds of bodily process taking place including the manufacture of collagen. Collagen is found in all areas of the body such as tissue, cartilage and tendons and it supports the blood vessels. Collagen is a major protein in the body.

Vitamin C is water soluble and only really small amounts are stored in our bodies after it is absorbed by our systems. Vitamin C deficiencies can quickly be remedied by the use of vitamin C powder. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and scavenges the free radicals.

Why is vitamin C powder a good idea? Well firstly vitamin C is one of over 40 nutrients that the body requires. As we do not naturally produce vitamin C our only source of intake must be through the food we eat or our supplement intake.

Smoking, alcohol, stress, diabetes, and even things like the contraceptive pill affect the balance of vitamin C in our bodies and we need to top-up out input. Most people do not realize that we would need to each over 60 oranges to get one teaspoon of vitamin C.

Hence the need for vitamin C powder.

But there are different forms of vitamin C powder:

Crystalline 100% Ascorbic Acid Powder is actually available for almost anyone wanting a simple top up of vitamin C.

Non Acidic Calcium Ascorbate Crystalline Powder not only is a wonderful source of calcium, but it can also be taken on a stomach without having to worry about acid problems.

Non Acidic Sodium Ascorbate Crystalline Powder is very soluble and very kind to the stomach, but if you are on a low sodium diet it should not be taken.

Vitamin C plus Bioflavonoids and Orange is a mixture of 3 well balanced forms of vitamin C; Calcium Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid. It is enhanced with bioflavonoids Hesperidin and Rutin. Bioflavonoids also called Vitamin P are not strictly speaking a vitamin, but for easy classification, we are listing it as a vitamin. The term bioflavonoids refers to many different ingredients and include hesperin, hesperidin, eriodictyol, quercetin, quercetin, rutin etc. This nutrient can not be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet. Bioflavonoids enhance the action of Vitamin C and for this reason they should be taken together. Bioflavonoids are effectively used in the treatment of sport injuries as they are pain relieving. They may also be used in relieving pain in the legs, across the back and can lessen the symptoms of prolonged bleeding, a low serum calcium as well as oral herpes.

Bioflavonoids may also be active in preserving the structures of capillaries, have an antibacterial effect and promote circulation. They may be indicated in the production of bile, lowering blood cholesterol levels and in the prevention and treatment of cataracts.

Bioflavonoids are thought to enhance the absorption of Vitamin C, and possibly to prolong the effectiveness of it as well. These are super active substances, and can add a great deal to your nutritional needs in health and disease.

This nutrient acts together with Vitamin C to help maintain the thin walls of the capillaries, therefore preventing bleeding or bruising. Bioflavonoids have been linked to having an antibacterial effect, stimulating bile production, promoting circulation and even assisting with fighting allergies, asthma etc.
