Amla is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C in the world. For example, it can provide 10 to 30 times the vitamin C content of a typical orange!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amla fruit contains a vast array of vitamins and minerals as well as naturally occurring phytonutrients such as tannins, flavonoids, and various polyphenolic compounds. The vitamin C content of amla is inherently bound to its bioflavonoid constituents, which help protect it from premature degradation, thereby preserving its antioxidant and immune-supporting properties.\u003cem\u003e Science suggests phytocompounds such as emblicanins (hydrolysable tannins) may promote the recycling of naturally occurring L-ascorbic acid and offer potent antioxidant properties.\u003c\/em\u003e Because of this natural phytonutrient symphony, which includes bioflavonids and other powerful synergists, co-factors and transporters, clinical evidence suggests that amla is far more effective, milligram for milligram, than the synthetic form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN C?\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eDo you eat the recommended five to nine servings of fruits and veggies every day? Probably not... and even if you did, you may not be getting enough vitamin C in your diet. Even if you eat vitamin C-rich foods, the vitamin C content is subject to degradation due to exposure to heat, air, light, handling, and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA landmark study (Journal of American College Nutrition, 2004) studied nutritional data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (from 1950 and 1999) for 43 different fruits and vegetables. They found that vitamin C content had declined significantly, as had levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B2. This means that the fruits and veggies we are eating today contain about 30% less vitamin C than just a generation ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C?\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eVitamin C is an important, water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It acts as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant in addition to other important health benefits. Vitamin C also supports the healthy biosynthesis of collagen and carnitine as well as neurotransmitter formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUYER BEWARE: AVOID SYNTHETIC VITAMIN C\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eMany consumers may not realize that many vitamin C products on the market today contain synthetically made ascorbic acid, or variations such as calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, or potassium ascorbate. Despite marketing claims, these laboratory-produced powders are not natural vitamin C – and far from it. They are chemically synthesized molecules manufactured in a test tube and may be derived from genetically modified corn sugar. These synthetic molecules, at best, mimic only one component of the multitude of life-supporting nutrient complexes found in genuine, natural vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL VS. SYNTHETIC VITAMIN C\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eUnlike humans, many animals can produce vitamin C in their own bodies and do not need to obtain it directly from food. However, humans cannot produce vitamin C and must obtain it from their diet. Although ascorbic acid is the chemical name for vitamin C, it exists primarily in two forms: L-ascorbic acid and D-ascorbic acid. The L form can come from either a natural source (fruits, vegetables, herbs) or from synthetic forms (made in a test-tube). The D form does not occur naturally and is not typically used in supplements because it lacks the vitamin C content of the L form. The “preferred” vitamin C form\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003efor the body is in the L form that has been derived from whole nutrient sources. One newer version, the liposomal form of vitamin C, is encased by a fat to increase uptake, but it may be formulated with synthetic ascorbic acid, and thus is not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGET YOUR VITAMIN C FROM WHOLE NUTRIENT SOURCES\u003cbr\u003e Premier Vitamin C combines timeless nutritional wisdom with the power of live-source nutrients to provide the pinnacle of natural vitamin C benefits. We do not add any fillers, corn, gluten or synthetic ascorbic acid to artificially misrepresent the total natural vitamin C content on the product label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNATURAL VITAMIN C: THE ONLY WAY TO GO!\u003cbr\u003e The well-researched health benefits associated with vitamin C are actually created by the entire, intricate, complex symphony of phytonutrients and supportive co-factors naturally found only in whole nutrient sources, not in isolated, synthesized molecules. In short, test-tube vitamin C simply cannot re-create the magnificence of a full-spectrum, whole-nutrient vitamin C complex. To see how Premier Vitamin C is so exquisitely different from other vitamin C products, just open a capsule to view the beautiful natural colors. You are viewing a live-source, vibrant blend of natural ingredients right out of nature – from only natural sources of vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuite a contrast to the stark white powder of chemically made, isolated vitamin C that has been synthesized in a laboratory. Because Premier Vitamin C delivers 100% natural sources of vitamin C, it also provides naturally occurring, immune-associated supporting phytonutrients in their complete matrix that accompany natural, live-source nutrients. Premier Vitamin C offers a complete botanical vitamin C formula that provides a preferred source of natural vitamin C.
