ARE YOUR
VITAMIN C BATTERIES RUNNING DOWN?
Looking for the Real Vitamin C? It isn't Ascorbic Acid! Ascorbic Acid is only an intermediate form present in many fruits and plants. Suppose you take Ascorbic Acid in the quantity you need to protect yourself against aging, cancer, heart attack, stroke, arthritis, and cataract - that's maybe 4 to 10 grams a day. (Archives, National Academy of Sciences, August 1989) You'll find that it brings your urine down to the acid level of 4 - 4.5 pH, irritates your kidneys and bladder, and causes with it diurectic action, the loss of valuable minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese and zinc, which are quite essential to life.
"As a result of ingesting 10 grams of Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) a day some of these healthy individuals developed heartburn, flatulence, nausea, and especially diarrhea, and were forced to withdraw from the experimental study..." (from Cancer and Vitamin C, by Ewin Cameron and Linus Pauling).
If they had used Mineral Ascorbates, there would have been no such reaction. Mineral Ascorbates have countless advantages over pure Ascorbic Acid or single ascorbates such as Calcium Ascorbate.
99.9% of all animals in the world produce their own Vitamin C in the form of Mineral Ascorbates. Unfortunately, humans suffer from a genetic defect, hypoascorbemia, an inability to produce Vitamin C in our own bodies. Only a few other animals are known to share this problem which humans: guinea pigs, monkeys, apes, and a type of bat.
This may greatly explain why humans don't live so long as they might. A dog matures at 2 years and lives at least 7 times his period of maturity, or 14 years. Humans mature at 20 to 25 years. Seven times 20 equals 140 years, which would appear to be our life potential, if we could produce ascorbate in our own bodies.
Next to the skin, the liver is the major organ of the body. Animals who produce ascorbate react the glucose circulating in their blood with four liver enzymes with produce Ascorbic Acid. But this Ascorbic Acid is never circulated in the body. It immediately reacts with minerals present in the liver to form Mineral Ascorbates of potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other trace elements. These are neutral mineral ascorbate transporters, as well as ascorbate transporters to some 70 trillion body cells.
