International Antiaging Systems VITAMIN C
by Robert Mason Ph.D.Vitamin C is one of the most important supplements that must to be taken every day to ensure optimum health. In fact, we have to take vitamin C every day because the body cannot store it.
Linus Pauling, (a Nobel Laureate) considered vitamin C to be the most important substance for the human condition. He even suggested that we should ingest it whenever we can, and even to replace the salt container on the table for vitamin C!
There are two versions of vitamin C, they are L-ascorbic acid and D-ascorbic acid. Most research shows that D-ascorbic acid is of little benefit because it is discarded by the body and that people only benefit from L-ascorbic acid.
Furthermore, there is a purity question over many of the available supplements on the market. However, the vitamin C offered by IAS (manufactured by DEDI) is pharmaceutical quality (99.9% pure) L-ascorbic acid.
Vitamin C offered in pills contains a large amount of fillers (usually around 25%). At some vitamin C doses (sometimes as high as 10-30 grams daily), this could mean ingesting as much as 7 grams of fillers daily!
So IAS offers a high-purity L-ascorbic acid in a powder form free from fillers or preservatives of any kind.
Lastly, it can be surmised that because of the high-purity and the 100% content of L-ascorbic acid in our vitamin C, that this product may be up to 10 times more potent than “other” forms of vitamin C pills.
Thus doses of this vitamin C can be as low as 100mg to 500mg daily (equivalent to 1g to 5g) for normal anti-aging uses. A measuring spoon equal to 100mg each level is provided with the bottle.
