Vitamins
Vitamins are vital for human life because they play integral roles in hundreds
of life-sustaining biochemical reactions. Vitamins are the catalysts for all
reactions using proteins, fats and carbohydrates for energy, growth and cell
maintenance. Certain nutrients are required in excess of the typical amounts
supplied in the diet depending on specific nutritional needs. Consuming dietary
vitamin and mineral supplements may help play an important role in maintaining
good health. For the most part, vitamins cannot be produced in the body and must
be supplied through the diet or vitamin and mineral supplements.
Vitamin C / Bioflavonoids
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and is a water-soluble, antioxidant
vitamin that plays a role in more than 300 bodily functions. It is essential to
help support health and wellness and requires daily replenishment.
Unfortunately, human beings - unlike most other animals - cannot manufacture
vitamin C. Nor can they store vitamin C to any appreciable amount. Instead, the
kidneys, acting as regulators, excrete vitamin C causing the need for regular
replenishment. In addition, vitamin C is destroyed during food preparation.
Vitamin C's primary function is to help maintain collagen, a protein necessary
for forming skin, ligaments, bones and teeth and for helping to maintain the
strength of blood vessel walls. High levels of vitamin C are also essential for
the metabolism of white blood cells, which are critical components of the immune
system. In addition, vitamin C plays an important role in the absorption of
iron, which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and in the
utilization of folic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins.
Bioflavonoids work together with vitamin C to build strong capillaries and serve
as antioxidants and as anti-inflammatory agents.
Vitamin C
High intake can cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps and flatulence.
Avoid supplementing over 1 gram of vitamin C daily if using the contraceptive
pill.
Vitamin C as ascorbic acid may aggravate stomach ulcers if used in high levels.
Long-term use of ascorbic acid at high intake levels may deplete calcium,
magnesium and potassium.
High intakes of vitamin C may interfere with some cytotoxic drugs used in cancer
therapy.
Medical advice should be taken if individuals are on drug therapy before taking
large doses of vitamin C and before blood tests.
