Just what can Vitamin C do for your cold?
2009-12-15 21:17:00 Many of us take Vitamin C supplements, but getting this nutrient in food sources like oranges is always best.I've been knocked out for more than a week with a cold. And as those who know me will tell you, I'm not a good patient. I'm used to being busy and keeping an active schedule, but sometimes our bodies have other plans. And despite social obligations and ongoing work pressures, there comes a time when the body just shuts down - forcing you to stay in and get much-needed rest. Because I believe so much in the use of natural products and vitamins when it comes to healing ourselves, of course I turned to good old-fashioned Vitamin C to help fight...
Review: The Body Shop Vitamin C Peel
2009-05-04 09:02:00 I love trying out things like peel's, masks and micro dermabrasion kits. I am such a sucker for promises of bright beautiful skin etc!I bought the vitamin e peel from the body shop a while ago and i have used it a few times. Its a gel that you put on your face and then you wait about 10 min and when its dry you peel it off. Its supposed to leave your skin radiant. Here's what i think.What i like about it:It comes with a little spatula that makes application quite easyYour face feels clean and soft after you have used itIt doesnt burn or irritate my skinThe tub looks small but you dont use a lot at a time because its a gel and it goes a long way.What i dont like:The smell is awful. It smells like tequila to me.It didnt give me what it promised (a radiant skin) but maybe after i have used the whole jar my opinion will change.I do like this product but i will have to try a few different brands and see their results before i re purchase.Rating - 4/5What do you use as a skin peeling p...

Vitamin C Injections Shown to Inhibit Cancer in Mice
2008-08-05 17:24:00 Thirty years ago, a novel idea for cancer treatment was presented: vitamin C. But, it turned out, it was impossible to consume enough vitamin C to raise ascorbate concentrations to pharmacologically-active levels. Now a new study funded by the U.S. Government shows that injecting high concentrations of vitamin C stops the spread of cancer and slows growth of tumors by 50 percent—in mice, at least. The results were positive over a wide variety of cancers, but more research will be needed before human trials can begin.

Vitamin C Overdose
2008-04-29 15:20:00 Using Vitamin C products beyond recommended the limits may cause stomachaches and diarrhea. Even though the body would only use as much as it needs of the vitamin, Vitamin C Overdose can hinder metabolic activities in the body.The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C in nonsmoking adults is 75 mg per day for women and 90 mg per day for men. For smokers, the RDAs are 110 mg per day for women and 125 mg per day for men. A dose of 200 milligrams daily is almost enough to maximize plasma and lymphocyte levels.Higher levels of Vitamin C are needed when under environmental stress such as trauma, fever or infection. Full saturation is reached with daily intakes of 200-500 mg per day (in 2-3 divided doses). This is a water-soluble protein, and anything in excess is excreted by the body. Vitamin C Overdose can cause diarrhea, gas, or stomach upset. Other side effects could be stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea, and an increased risk of developing kidney stones. Large amounts o...

Nutra Luxe MD Vitamin C Plus Anti-Aging Skincare
2008-04-10 07:11:00 The Grades Are In I must admit my usually method of getting Vitamin C is through a tall glass of OJ no ice. I just love the taste and it’s supposed to be good for me, so they say but we all know what’s behind all those calories! I’ll just lose all that extra sugar and use Nutra Luxe MD’s Vitamin C Plus moisturizer. The creator, Dr. Hawrych, is a plastic surgeon, and uses a micro-encapsulation process to stabilize and protect the active ingredient, L-ascorbic acid. Unlike some other brands that shall remain nameless at this time, this product boasts a 2 year shelf-life! It’s Anti-Aging Skincare at it’s finest. If you think all Vitamin C is created equal, I need to call your attention to the differences. Take note that the “Vitamin C offered in other skin care products is either Vitamin C esther or L-ascorbic PALMITATE, which are fatty acids the body does NOT recognize and therefore does NOT ABSORB.” So be sure to spend your mone...

Vitamin C, Antioxidant or Pro-oxidant
2008-02-22 09:44:00 Of course thousands of people supplement vitamin C for its antioxidant properties. In fact, many consume several grams per day in an effort to reduce the damage that free radical compounds can cause. But is consuming such high doses beneficial In addition to the inefficiency of absorption as the vitamin C dose is increased, evidence also exists that large acute doses can result in opposing effects to what is intended. How can this be Because of the nature of redox reactions, a substance such as vitamin C could reduce certain cellular components (an antioxidant effect) while oxidizing others. The ability of vitamin C to do this has been reported repeatedly and may be related to dose. Podmore and colleagues (1998) showed that administration of 500 mg/ day to healthy humans for 6 weeks induced proÂoxidant effects on particular segments of nuclear material in lymphocytes. This suggests that higher doses actually act in a manner that is opposite to their intendÂed purpose for many peo...

Vitamin C: How Much Do You Really Need?
2008-01-28 18:11:00 Vitamin C: How Much Do You Really Need?Some would have you believe that vitamin C can prevent cancer, stop heart attacks, do the dishes, and wash the car. Now government scientists are putting C in its place.June 19, 2000 -- Feel free to call Rusty Hoge a vitamin C zealot. He swallows a whopping 14,000 milligrams a day -- 150 times the government-set Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) -- and has quadrupled the dose when he felt illness coming on.Since adopting this regimen 10 years ago, the 46-year-old telecommunications technician from suburban Atlanta claims to have been sick only once -- and then because he slacked off his normal routine. "I like to say that taking high doses of vitamin C has one side effect -- good health," he says.Like many other devotees, Hoge believes that enormous doses of vitamin C can fend off cancer and heart disease, slow the aging process, prevent colds, and extend our lives by up to 35 years. Such claims were popularized by the late Nobel-prize winnin...

Vitamin C May
2008-01-14 05:07:00 People should eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent stroke and other health problems. Having higher levels of vitamin C in your blood may reduce your risk of stroke, new research suggests. People with the highest concentrations of vitamin C in their blood had a 42 percent lower risk of stroke than people with the lowest levels, according to the study, which is in the January issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, HealthDay reported. But, that doesn't mean that popping mega-doses of vitamin C supplement can ward off a brain attack, health experts cautioned. "In the study itself, the authors made a strong point that they couldn't conclude that vitamin C directly lowers stroke risk," said Dr. Keith Siller, medical director of New York University Medical Center's Comprehensive Stroke Care Center. "It's not necessarily the vitamin C itself. Vitamin C may be a marker of a general healthy lifestyle, and high levels of plasma vitamin C probably mean that you're more...
Vitamin C May Slow Skin Wrinkles...
2007-12-25 21:08:00 Researchers now report that people who eat plenty of vitamin C-rich foods have fewer wrinkles than people whose diets contained little of the vitamin.Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it can combat the effects of free radicals in your body and on your skin. Free radicals are the unstable molecules in the environment that can cause aging of the skin.
