Mega
C Plus
Study after study has shown that antioxidants are necessary for
good health, and Vitamin C is the body's chief water-soluble antioxidant.
But this vitamin does more that fight free-radical damage. Among
its other critical functions, it helps the body recycle the building
matrix for our connective tissues, cartilage, tendons and blood
vessels; it is necessary for the efficient production and activation
of immune cells and respiratory function; and it aids in the neutralization
of histamine, the main biochemical culprit in allergy attacks.
It's extremely difficult to get sufficient amount of Vitamin C
from our diet alone. And, because Vitamin C is water-soluble,
it's level in our bodies must be replenished daily. Supplementation
is a simple and more accurate way to meet your daily Vitamin C
requirement. MEGA C PLUS contains Bioperine, a form of
black pepper that has been shown to improve the absorption of
Vitamin C by as much as 39%. In other words, you get up to 39%
more Vitamin C with BIOGREEN'S MEGA C PLUS.
What it
does
Vitamin C is active throughout the body. It helps strengthen the
capillaries (the tiniest blood vessels) and cell walls and is
crucial for the formation of collagen ( a protein found in connective
tissue). In these ways, Vitamin C prevents bruising, promotes
healing and keeps ligaments (which connect muscle to bone), tendons
(which connect bone to bone), and gums strong and healthy. It
also aids in producing hemoglobin in red blood cells and assists
the body in absorbing iron from foods.
Latest
findings
Vitamin C may help prevent reblockage (restenosis) of arteries
after angioplasty (an alternative to bypass surgery). A study
of 119 angioplasty patients found that restenosis occurred in
just 24% of those who took 500 mg of Vitamin C per day for four
months, compared with 43% of those who did not take the vitamin.
MEGA C
PLUS has been specifically formulated with 4 forms of Vitamin
C to provide an advanced highly absorbable supplement. This unique
formula is buffered to be gentle to your stomach. In addition
MEGA C PLUS utilizes 3 different bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids
increase your body's ability to absorb and utilize Vitamin C and
are powerful antioxidants themselves.
