All Vitamin C Is Not Created Equal
As we discussed in a previous Weekly Wellness Report, humans are unable to make Vitamin C. In fact, we are part of a small group of animals in the world whose bodies cannot make Vitamin C. We need to eat foods that are rich sources of Vitamin C. And, given our toxic, stressful environment, we need to supplement our diet with the right amount of Vitamin C every day.
TriVita promotes neutral pH, Sodium-L-Ascorbate Vitamin C crystals. It's important to understand why!
The journey of Vitamin C
Every nutrient you ingest including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and sugars has a specific transport mechanism that takes it from your digestive tract into your body. Once it enters your system, each nutrient has a transport mechanism that takes it to the cells where it is needed. For example, Vitamin B-1 has a transport mechanism that transports B-1 and nothing else. Iron has a transport mechanism that transports iron and nothing else.
Vitamin C has its own transport mechanisms as well. But, the need for Vitamin C is so great that our bodies let us use other transport mechanisms in addition to the one marked "Vitamin C only." The two that are most important are sodium (salt) and glucose (sugar). We can actually transport Vitamin C in channels for salt and sugar! This is possible because Vitamin C is a great impersonator.
Sodium: Vitamin C looks enough like sodium to be taken from the intestines into the body just like the sodium from your food. Because we need a lot of sodium, the transport channels for sodium are very large and Vitamin C can "ride along" with sodium through this open channel into your bloodstream. That's one reason we attach our Vitamin C to sodium as Sodium-L-Ascorbate: to maximize absorption with minimum effort.
Why sodium?
Now, sodium has a really bad reputation because many of us put too much salt (sodium chloride) on our food. But, the fruits and vegetables we eat are naturally very high in sodium. Our blood is naturally high in sodium. In fact, the sodium content of our blood is about 32 times greater than the potassium level in our blood. It is comparable to the sodium content in sea water.Glucose: The most abundant fuel in our bodies is a sugar called glucose. Glucose is so familiar to each cell that receptor sites on the cell wall – guardians of who gets in and who stays out – readily accept large amounts of glucose to fuel the cell and give it energy. These receptors are very large because large amounts of glucose are needed inside the cell. Glucose is a six-sided crystal and so is our Vitamin C. To take advantage of the glucose transport site, we use Vitamin C with the crystal structure intact. This combination allows the most Vitamin C to get into the cell with the least amount of effort required. So, Vitamin C from your diet is taken in through Vitamin C transport sites and through glucose transport sites as well.
Why neutral pH Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is acidic and we don't need more acid in our body. Our blood is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.2 to 7.4 (pH 7.0 is neutral pH). Highly acidic environments in our cells breed disease and suffocate our cells. Oxygen is transported more efficiently when we have a more neutral balance in our cells. Neutral pH Sodium-L-Ascorbate crystals neutralize some of the acid in our body caused by toxicity, injuries and stress.
How much Vitamin C is enough?
This is a hard question to answer. We are all different so I prefer to let my body tell me how much Vitamin C it needs. If I am feeling tired, I take more Vitamin C. Many people find that extra Vitamin C benefits their blood sugar and dental health, and helps them recover quicker from injuries. Use the Vitamin C flush to help determine the maximum amount of Vitamin C you need at any given time.
In any event, using neutral pH, Sodium-L-Ascorbate crystals makes the most sense when selecting Vitamin C.
