THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN E AND VITAMIN C THIS WINTER
« on: October 07, 2013, 12:44:58 PM »
Remember being a kid and hearing your parents say “don’t forget to take your vitamins.” It may have been annoying to hear at the time but, especially with age, there is an increased risk of developing illnesses, diseases, circulatory problems, joint flexibility loss and other health-related issues that may be postponed or even avoided by simply taking the right vitamins. In fact, with Winter and the cold blast of harsh weather roaring in, the chance of catching either a cold or flu may seem an almost imminent fact for most people. Yet, vitamins like Vitamin E and Vitamin C, known as powerful antioxidants, boost the immune system by neutralizing free radicals that are harmful to the body and dramatically improve the chances of remaining healthy throughout the winter season and throughout the entire year.

Vitamin E and Vitamin C individually are both extremely effective when it comes to staying healthy. However, a vitamin formulation, like Vitamin E-Gems with C, combines Vitamin E with Vitamin C, creating a powerful antioxidant blend that work together synergistically to improve the effectiveness of each as a whole. Vitamin C recycles used vitamin E in the body and restores its back into an active antioxidant. This means the body’s Vitamin E resources will not expire as quickly when combined with Vitamin C and that more antioxidants are available to fend off illness and disease for longer periods of time than either Vitamin E or Vitamin C would produce alone.

So along with the thick hat, wrapped scarf, wool gloves and bundled clothing you wear to protect yourself from the cold this Winter season, don’t forget to take your vitamins, in particular, Vitamin E formulations with Vitamin C.


Who Needs Vitamin C?
Everyone who lacks a regular vitamin C intake risks catching illnesses; however, there are groups of people who are even more likely to get sick. These people,who aremost susceptible to contracting disease from lack of vitamin C, fit intothree categories.

Specifically, smokers are at high risk of a vitamin C deficiency. When the National Research Council set the RDA for vitamin C, they did not consider that the body metabolizes vitamin C at a faster rate in smokers and second hand smokers. The set RDA for vitamin C is 60mg, and one cigarette depletes the body of a whopping 25mg.

Moreover, alcohol consumers are also in danger of a low level of vitamin C. A large intake of alcohol can dilute the ascorbic acid in the blood, and increases urinary excretion of vitamin C. Therefore, those who drink alcohol, on a more than regular basis, can have a poor diet. When the alcohol is factored in, the body is lacking an adequate level of vitamin C. One study suggests that doses of vitamin C at 500 to 1,000 mg per day can aid in the treatment of alcoholism

Those, who have stress filled lives, especially need a higher level of vitamin C intake. When a person is under stress, the adrenal glands are depleted of vitamin C. At this occurrence, the blood reaches a high oxidation level which makes the adrenal glands unable to fight off toxins; therefore, to protect the body, one must consume a higher level of vitamin C. Studies have shows that when animals (who are able to produce their own vitamin C) are in stressful conditions their bodies produce a higher level of vitamin C to cope with stress. Humans cannot produce their own vitamin C; however, they can consume it in a variety of ways.
