* Formulated to deliver all the benefits of Vitamin C as found in nature

When delivered as a supplement with only one form of the nutrient, vitamin C can fail to provide the maximum level of nutrition. That's why our Living Vitamin C supplement is formulated with a comprehensive blend of potent, whole food concentrates to give you the many forms and benefits of vitamin C as it's found in nature.

As an added advantage, our Living Vitamin C supplement is formulated with our proprietary Poten-Zyme process. This process yields Homeostatic Nutrient complexes that contain probiotics, antioxidants and enzymes -- the co-factors needed to turn ordinary vitamins and minerals into living whole foods that can be effectively absorbed and used by our bodies.

Give your body the full spectrum benefits of vitamin C as nature intended with Living Vitamin C.

How does vitamin C benefit my health?
Years of scientific research prove that vitamin C influences almost every body function. For example, our formula:
* Aids in the production of collagen, the foundation of all connective tissue.
* Acts as a strong antioxidant to slow aging and help maintain good health.
* Promotes hormone synthesis which helps regulate stress and energy levels.
* Speeds wound healing.
* Promotes iron absorption, which facilitates cellular nutrition necessary for proper blood cell development.
* Promotes normal cell replication in the gastrointestinal tract.

Why do I need to take a vitamin C supplement?
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient not manufactured in the body, so it must be obtained through diet or supplements. Our hectic lifestyles can make eating healthy amounts of vitamin C-rich foods like fresh fruits and vegetables a challenge. But with a whole food supplement like Living Vitamin C, you're sure to get the level of vitamin C you need.

How do the support nutrients in your Living Vitamin C supplement help me?
Besides being a rich source of vitamin C, our Living Vitamin C supplement contains a myriad of support nutrients that contribute to overall good health.
Probiotics
Probiotics are designed to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, also called good bacteria, in the gastrointestinal tract. Healthy human intestines contain billions of microorganisms--both good and bad. The good bacteria in the intestine are considered an integral part of your immune system. Many people are unaware that daily exposure to the environment and even certain habits considered healthy--like taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water and using antibacterial soap�often kill these good bacteria essential for health.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are organic substances found in fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants deactivate free radicals that, if allowed to persist, can cause cell damage.
Enzymes
Enzymes carry out every chemical reaction in your body, including breaking down nutrients so your body can digest and use them. Without enzymes, even the most balanced natural foods diet would be worthless. Although enzymes are present in all raw foods, they become devitalized in cooked or highly processed foods. Even steaming or microwaving vegetables kills enzymes. When the body receives foods deficient in enzymes, it increases its white blood cells as a defense mechanism, which can weaken the immune system.

What makes your Living Vitamin supplement better than other Vitamin C supplements?
Unlike supplements that deliver vitamin C in only one nutrient form, Living Vitamin C is a whole food blend formulated to deliver all the benefits of vitamin C found in nature. Living Vitamin C contains:
* Certified organic orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime citrus blend that includes the fruit, pulp, peel and seeds.
* Organic cereal grass juices to alkalinize the body and provide important vitamin, mineral and enzyme co-factors.
* Organic trace minerals in their ionic forms to support vitamin C absorption and usage.
* Antioxidant blend of whole raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, prune, and grape fruits, skins and seeds.
Additionally, of the many vitamin C supplements on the market, our Living Vitamin C is the only one that creates Homeostatic Nutrient complexes using a process called Poten-Zyme.
