Vitamin C Powders

Most animals manufacture Vitamin C, BUT HUMANS CANNOT. Only the guinea pig, fruit bat, one species of salmon and a few other isolated species of animals share this inability to manufacture Vitamin C. To manufacture Vitamin C within the animal body requires four different enzymes to react with glucose. This Vitamin C then becomes tagged with several different minerals in the body. When under stress the animal body can produce up to 100g per day of Vitamin C. Due to an enzyme defi ciency, man and the other primates cannot manufacture Vitamin C. Therefore it must be consumed as an essential nutrient. Nature suggests that we require quite high levels of Vitamin C for routine and stress biochemical reactions.

There are many different brands of ascorbates in the market place. They are derived from a few sources including corn starch and sugarbeet to which some people are allergic. All Vitamin C used by Biological Therapies is derived from sago palm. It is extremely rare for people to develop an allergy to sago palm. Biological Therapies powdered Vitamin C has no artificial colorings, flavourings, fillers, lubricants or preservatives. They are 100% pure and what is on the label is what is in the product.

All Biological Therapies Ascorbate powders contain measures to deliver a small but accurate dose of Vitamin C. Depending upon the powder, this dose is somewhere between 1g and 1.4g of Vitamin C which should produce no bowel discomfort. This makes these powders a viable and purer alternative to Vitamin C tablets.

Our Vitamin C powders include the very popular C-Salts, an effervescent Vitamin C and mineral supplement.
