    JIGSAW PUREWAY-C + LYSINE CONTAINS: No GMOs No Soy No Gluten Vegan Ingredients WHY IS JIGSAW PUREWAY-C + LYSINE A SUPERIOR FORM OF VITAMIN C?* Pureway-C is clinically proven to outperform other leading forms of Vitamin C by offering better immune protection, better free radical scavenging, and better antioxidant support.* Research studies in vitro and in humans show that Pureway-C is more rapidly absorbed and more highly retained in the human cells resulting in faster, more beneficial effects than other ascorbate brands.* TOP REASONS JIGSAW PUREWAY-C + LYSINE MAKES A DIFFERENCE* More rapidly taken-up and absorbed by cells than other forms of Vitamin C.* More highly retained by the human body than other traditional forms of Vitamin C.* PureWay-C is directly associated with greater reduction of plasma levels of C-reactive protein and Oxidized LDL in human clinical study.* Potent antioxidant and significant free radical scavenging capabilities.* Faster and greater beneficial effects than other forms of Vitamin C.* More rapidly stimulates healthy neurons.* More rapidly promotes wound healing.* More rapidly protects immune system.* WHY IS LYSINE INCLUDED? Lysine, or L-Lysine, is an essential amino acid, which means that it is necessary for human health but cannot be made by the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Lysine is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine; a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen.* Lysine supports a healthy immune system response. Taking lysine supplements can support recovery time and reduce the chance of recurrent health challenges. Lysine also plays a role in supporting arterial health. Lysine is one component of a protocol proposed by Linus Pauling to promote optimal heart and immune health.* THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT WORDS FOR ENHANCED IMMUNE RESPONSE: VITAMIN C* Enhance immune system response* Antioxidant support* Premium Vitamin C & L-Lysine WHY DO WE NEED VITAMIN C? Unlike most mammals who produce their own Vitamin C in very high amounts (and even more under stress), humans do not have the ability to manufacture their own Vitamin C. Interestingly, we have 3 out of the 4 enzymes needed to make Vitamin C, but the 4th enzyme is turned off — the gene that made the 4th enzyme mutated and is no longer expressed in humans. Therefore, we must obtain Vitamin C through our diet and/or a Vitamin C supplement in order to support proper health. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BODY IS RUNNING LOW ON VITAMIN C? According to the National Institutes of Health, too little Vitamin C can lead to serious health challenges. Low Vitamin C levels can affect several body parts and systems, including: Hair health and texture* Gum and dental health* Dermal (skin) health and texture* Wound-healing process* Bruise recovery* Joint health* Red blood cell health* Immune system response* Metabolic rate* CAN YOU REPLENISH A DEFICIENCY TAKING ONLY THE RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE (RDA)? No. The RDA is the minimum required to avoid scurvy, not the maximum needed for good health. As in all cases, "deficiency" is not something thats digital – meaning you either have it or you dont – its a matter of degrees. Researchers are proving the many ways in which "sub-clinical scurv   Servings Per Container: 60 As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules per day with food.

Vitamin C Products

Vita Living provides vitamin C supplements to help increase immune system efficiency, defend against the ravages of antioxidants and support the body in the repair and growth of all damaged tissue. Natural, healthful vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, which is a protein that makes up one of the basic building blocks of blood vessels, ligaments, tendons and skin. Additionally, Vitamin C helps build and maintain strong teeth, bones and cartilage. Natural vitamin C is preferable to synthetic vitamin C and can be found in many fresh fruits and vegetables as well as high quality, all-natural supplements.

Because vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system, it is helpful in preventing illnesses from the common cold to cancer. The human body cannot manufacture or store vitamin C, so it is important to get a good supply of C every day. The minimum daily requirement is quite low at about 90 milligrams a day; however, health experts recommend far more daily C than this modest amount. While many very good multivitamins only include about 200 milligrams of C, the fact is, between a thousand and two thousand milligrams daily is not excessive. It is important to remember that you should not take your C all at once. Instead, it is recommended that you get your C from a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the day in addition to supplementation to avoid upset stomach. The best thing to do is take an all natural supplement at least once a day with a meal. Be sure to eat plenty of citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, berries and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Getting ample vitamin C in the diet and through supplementation will help you enjoy vibrant good health.
