Alkaline Vitamin C Ascorbate
PHP Pro C Ascorbate is one of the only truly alkaline
forms of Vitmain C available today. Having a PH of
close to 7, helps this product get assimilated into
the body better. Furthermore, some studies suggest
that alkaline environments are generally more suited
to viral suppression than acidic ones.

Acton of Vitamin C
on the body:
In 1928, Szent-Gyorgy, while doing work with the adrenal
glands of oxen, isolated a sugar-like substance which was
crystalline in nature and similar to the properties of anti-scorbutic
factors in citrus fruits. However, it was not until 1932
that the substance was identified as ascorbic acid and the
molecular formula and synthesis were worked out. For their
work, Dr. Szent-Gyorgy and Sir Walter Haworth received Nobel
Prizes in 1938. Now that the world had a ready supply of
the elusive "miracle drug", research started all
over the world to ascertain its properties in the biological
systems and its modes of action.
Apparently, vitamin C acts as a reducing agent, aiding
in the prevention of aging cells and tissues. The vitamin
prevents improper oxidation in the cells’ aqueous
portions, and promotes healing by acting as an intermediary
in the synthesis of collagen, (the tissue protein that holds
the body together). It was learned that vitamin C is essential
to proper adrenal function and that the adrenal gland becomes
depleted very quickly when an organism is subjected to long
periods of stress. This depletion can play havoc with the
body's ability to control those processes governed by the
adrenal gland: miner |
