Vitamin C

What does Vitamin C do and which one should I choose?

Vitamin C has many functions in the human body. It is a very effective antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress in the body, neutralizes waste products and thus strengthens the immune system. Vitamin C is also a cofactor and electron donor of many enzymes that ensure the construction of many important biochemical substances in the body.

Another important function of vitamin C is its contribution to the formation of collagen, which is necessary for healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, gums, blood vessels and skin.

Vitamin C has many more functions in the human body:

  • energy-yielding metabolism
  • fatigue
  • nervous system
  • psychological function
  • increase iron absorption
  • strengthening the immune system
  • protection against oxidative stress
  • regeneration of the active form of vitamin E
  • collagen formation in skin and blood vessels
  • collagen formation in bones and cartilage
  • collagen formation in teeth and gums

Which Vitamin C should I choose?

The SuperfoodShop has several choices for Vitamin C. The most important distinction that can be made is between natural and non-natural Vitamin C. Both have advantages in different cases.

The natural form of Vitamin C is always preferred, because of the better absorption and recognizability. To get the daily required Vitamin C for maintenance in good health, the natural Vitamin C can be chosen. The natural Vitamin C are the Camu Camu Powder and Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin C (60 capsules) from Garden of Life .

Natural Vitamin C

Vitamin Code | If you prefer capsules, choose Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin C (60 capsules) from Garden of Life . This contains, in addition to many other nutrients, 500mg per 2 capsules .

Camu Camu powder | Would you like to have powder, then you can choose Camu Camu Powder . The extract of the Camu Camu powder from the SuperfoodShop contains no less than 12% natural vitamin C. A teaspoon with 5 grams of Camu Camu powder contains 600mg per teaspoon .

Non-natural Vitamin C

For the therapeutic use of Vitamin C, higher doses are needed. If you would like to use higher doses for faster recovery, you can use non-natural Vitamin C. Non-natural Vitamin C is cheaper than the natural form. If your budget is less limited, then a natural Vitamin C is still preferable.

Calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid are the non-natural Vitamin C that are available. Calcium ascorbate is a non-acidifying form and therefore gentler on the stomach. Ascorbic acid is acidifying and is needed to "acidify" the infection of a bladder infection, for example. However, only use Quali-C Ascorbic Acid. All other ascorbic acid is extracted from GMO sources.

Calcium Ascorbate Epigenar | non-acidifying form with 1800mg per dose (100 doses)

Ascorbic Acid Quali-C Dr. Best | acidifying form with 1000mg per dose (250 doses)

    Superfoodshop Camu Camu Powder Raw & Organic

    Camu Camu Powder Raw & Organic Camu Camu is a shrub native to the South American Amazon. Camu Camu is best known for its gigantic amounts of vitamin C. Camu Camu contains 50 times more vitamin C than an orange. One dose of Camu Camu Powder contains about the same amount as 10 oranges! It is therefore ideal for boosting your resistance. In addition to Vitamin C, Camu Camu also contains amino acids and large amounts of carotenoids, such as beta-carotene. Why Natural Vitamin C is Better than Synthetic Vitamin C? Vitamin C is the best known and perhaps the most important of all vitamins. It cannot be manufactured by the body. The body can only obtain vitamin C from food. Dr Szent-Gyorgi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1937 for isolating vitamin C and recognizing its important role in human health. In his studies he demonstrated the many benefits of consuming the vitamin. Dr Szent Gyorgi pointed out as early as 1937 the superior benefits of natural vitamin C over synthetic vitamin C. There are many different types of vitamin C supplements available today. The vast majority of these supplements contain synthetic vitamin C. The latest research shows that synthetic vitamin pales in comparison to vitamin C as intended by Mother Nature. In the book “The Truth About Supplements” by Health Expert Brian Clement, Brian explains the differences between the two vitamins in detail. Natural vitamin C is many times more effective and is better absorbed by the body. What do the nutrients in Camu Camu do? Camu Camu contains over 50x more Vitamin C than an orange. Vitamin C is important for gum health, immune system and energy production. Camu camu contains valine. Valine is an essential amino acid. This means that our body cannot produce this amino acid. Camu camu contains Leucine. Camu camu contains serine. Camu camu contains flavonoids. Flavonoids are substances found in plants and also give vegetables and fruits their color. They usually work in the body as antioxidants. Camu camu contains Ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is a powerful antioxidant. How can I use Camu Camu? 1 to 2 teaspoons in a glass of water daily. Beginners: start with a quarter teaspoon and slowly build up to 1 to 2 teaspoons per day. By building it up slowly, the body can slowly adapt to the strong composition of the Camu Camu berry. You may experience symptoms of diarrhea if you take too much vitamin C. That is why building it up is important for your body. When you lower the dosage, diarrhea disappears immediately. Other Suggestions: Add Camu Camu to juice, smoothies, desserts. Drink it with MSM for collagen formation in the skin.

  • Multi-Vitamine RAW | The Vitamin Code for Men

    Garden of Life The Vitamin Code Men (240 capsules)

    If you have chosen to take an extra multivitamin, take multivitamins that the body recognizes as vitamins. Vitamins that come from nature and have not been exposed to high temperatures that destroy them. Multivitamins that are raw and come from whole foods. Why The Vitamin Code Multivitamin? Unprocessed natural products (whole-food) contain many nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. All these nutrients are all deformed and processed in a synergistic form . This synergistic form is formed in nature , because the many different nutrients need and strengthen each other. The synergistic form ensures that the body recognizes the nutrients . In this way, the nutrients are actually absorbed and processed in the body to "fulfill their natural destiny" in the body. This synergistic form is known to exist and is very important. However, science has yet to discover which and how the thousands of components form together. This riddle is also called "The Code" . The manufacturers have not cracked The Code either. The most important thing is that the multivitamin The Vitamin Code contains "The Code" completely. That is why the orthomolecular therapists of SuperfoodShop choose The Vitamin Code : multivitamin with a wide range of nutrients in natural synergistic form unheated and unprocessed multivitamin with live probiotics and enzymes whole-food living nutrients no chemical isolates and "nutrients" no binders no fillers Why Almost All Multivitamins Are Bad? Most multivitamins consist of synthetic vitamins or isolates. Synthetic means that it is chemically manufactured, so not natural. It is absolutely preferable to choose natural vitamins as much as possible. There are four problems with synthetic multivitamins… A synthetic vitamin lacks the Code Factor: The Code factor is a complex of nutrients. The vitamin is better absorbed through the right synergy of these components. These components are missing from almost all synthetic multivitamins. Your body absorbs only a small percentage of synthetic or isolate forms of vitamins and minerals. Synthetic multivitamins often contain large amounts of certain nutrients (usually the cheapest ones) and insufficient amounts of others, no balance. You may experience side effects from synthetic isolates from the additives and the unnatural state of a synthetic supplement. Also a danger in synthetic multivitamin pills are the chemical additives and fillers: Magnesium stearate (E572): Is a so-called flow agent and surface lubricant of animal or vegetable origin. It can reduce the absorption of important nutrients. Titanium dioxide: Gives many multivitamins their typical white color. It can cause lung irritations. Dicalcium phosphate: Consists of calcium and phosphorus and is used as a filler. Many people are sensitive to phosphates. In addition, it is known that this filler can sometimes cause digestive problems. How do I use The Vitamin Code Multivitamins? Use 4 capsules per day. It is best to take 2 capsules 2x per day with water. The multivitamins can be taken before or after meals. It is not necessary to take the multivitamins with meals. Capsules of the multivitamins may be opened. Contents can then be taken with water or fresh home-made juice/smoothie.
