BioActive Vitamin C 1000 mg Capsules – high-dose and easy on the stomach

BioActive Vitamin C provides bioactive mineral ascorbates and ascorbyl palmitate plus acerola and rosehip fruit powders in a complete formula. 

The vitamin C contained in the capsules is considerably superior to common ascorbic acid. It is easy on the stomach, does not cause digestive problems and is better absorbed by the body cells. 

It is also interesting to note that with buffered vitamin C, urinary excretion is much lower than with conventional ascorbic acid. 

The advantage of ascorbyl palmitate - the fat-soluble form of vitamin C - contained in the capsules is that it can be stored in the body until needed, thus complementing the water-soluble mineral ascorbates with its long-term effect. 

The contained natural acerola cherry and rosehip fruit powders provide additional bioflavonoids (active plant ingredients), which optimize the effect of vitamin C.

Vitamin C – the anti-aging vitamin 

According to scientists, vitamin C is the most powerful anti-aging vitamin. A sufficient supply of vitamin C should therefore be ensured daily if you want to stay young, healthy and attractive. Vitamin C is involved in numerous vital tasks in the body and is thus crucial for maintaining vitality and health as long as possible. 

What can vitamin C do for your health? 

The positive effect of vitamin C on the immune system is known to most people. It is therefore commonly taken in case of colds. However, the vitamin has many other functions: 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal functioning of the immune system 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal functioning of the immune system during and after intense physical activity 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal bone function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal gum function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal teeth function 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal energy metabolism 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system 

• Vitamin C contributes to normal mental function 

• Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress 

• Vitamin C helps reduce fatigue and tiredness 

• Vitamin C contributes to regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E 

• Vitamin C increases iron absorption 

Are you supplying your body with sufficient vitamin C? 

Kiwis, lemons, strawberries and oranges are considered to be particularly rich sources of vitamin C. But did you know that raw vegetables such as peppers, cabbage or broccoli contain twice as much vitamin C? 

Incidentally, cereals - whether whole-grain or not - and any products made from them, from bread to rice and pasta to pastries, do not contain vitamin C. 

It is therefore very unlikely for people who primarily consume bread and other cereal products to be consuming enough vitamin C. 

Consuming sufficient quantities of vitamin would require five servings of (raw) fruits and vegetables a day. To all those who find it difficult to adhere to such a dietary recommendation, vitamin researchers advise supplementation by taking vitamin C capsules. 

How much vitamin C is required? 

In general, the following can be assumed: The poorer one's diet and the higher the exposure to environmental influences, stress, alcohol, coffee or nicotine, the higher the body's need for vitamin C. Nowadays, many nutritionists therefore recommend a minimum daily intake of 200 to 400 mg vitamin C.  

When is vitamin C particularly important? 

• if you are under stress 

• if you smoke 

• if you experience bleeding from your gums 

• if you drink alcohol often 

• if you are pregnant 

• if you are elderly 

• if your diet is poor, i.e. not balanced and varied 

• if you take oral contraceptives 

• if you are exposed to pollutants 

• if you are overweight 

• if you are on a diet 

For these at-risk groups, vitamin C requirements may increase to 1000 mg per day or more. 

Smokers require more vitamin C 

With each cigarette you smoke, the body consumes additional 30 mg of valuable vitamin C. This is because in this way, the body tries to protect itself from the pollutants in cigarettes. 

This vitamin C is then missing where it is naturally needed. Externally visible signs of a vitamin C deficiency in smokers therefore include crow's feet and wrinkles, as not enough vitamin C remains for normal collagen formation to maintain firm skin. 

In addition, just a few puffs of a cigarette constrict blood vessels by up to 40%. It is therefore not surprising that compared to non-smokers, impotence is much more common among smokers. 

Vitamin C and the heart 

In his book “How to Live Longer and Feel Better”, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling wrote:  

"Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. I am convinced that the number of deaths caused by these diseases at all ages could be substantially reduced by proper use of vitamin C and other nutrients. 

Fortunately, vitamin C is an orthomolecular vital substance that is normally present in the human body and has extremely low toxicity.  

Those who want to take vitamin C to improve their health in the best possible way and protect themselves from heart disease do not require a prescription or the approval of the medical establishment to do so. 

In this regard, the layperson's knowledge and judgment may be superior to those of physicians." 

How much vitamin C is too much? 

Dr. Linus Pauling spent many years of his life working with vitamin C. The two-time Nobel Prize winner was considered the most important vitamin C expert and took a very high vitamin C dose of 18,000 mg daily until his death at the ripe old age of 93.  

Pauling considered vitamin C safe even in megadoses. He was convinced that vitamin C could significantly improve the quality of life and even extend life by several years. 

A dose exceeding 1000 mg of vitamin C per day may cause soft stools or diarrhea in some people. However, these symptoms are considered harmless and should disappear as soon as the dose is reduced again.
