The vitamin c has to the best-known vitamin these days. It is not surprising, because the body needs for vitamin c more than 300 functions. In fact, the vitamin c is proven to help protect against cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other serious diseases. Without the vitamin c the body would be unable to heal itself. This is because the c-vitamin is essential for the formation of collagen. When a person makes a cut or an injury is the collagen that helps to repair the damage and without adequate vitamin c, this would almost impossible. Collagen is a multitude of functions in the body, including the keeping of the organs in place, and it would not be able to do so without adequate vitamin c .

The vitamin c is also an antioxidant to the body and helps other vitamins and minerals to be better absorbed. Folic acid and iron, for example, the vitamin c to maximize their usefulness. The more vitamin c that the body has, the better his defense against colds and other diseases and vitamin c can not prevent a person catching a virus, but it helps accelerate the recovery process.

There is vitamin c in almost all fruit and vegetables, but some have much higher levels of vitamin c than others. Cranberries and melons have a high vitamin c content. In fact, tropical fruits have the highest amounts of vitamin c all fruit. S Hot peppers are among the richest sources of vitamin c when it comes to vegetables. The hotter the pepper, the higher the vitamin c content. Unfortunately, the c-vitamin is water soluble so many vegetables lose their effectiveness as ac vitamin if they cooked for a long time. Steamed or quick stir frying vegetables ensures that more of their vitamin c content is preserved. The recommended daily allowance of vitamin c is easily obtained from eating five servings of fruits and vegetables per day as they are consumed raw or cooked quickly .

vitamin C supplements are extremely useful to ensure that people get enough vitamin c. However, with a balanced diet, the amount of vitamin c receive the body, is probably enough. But if someone starts tiredness or lethargy than ac vitamin supplement will help overcome. There is no danger that too much vitamin c as the body simply excretes the excess.

Hi,

I read an answer given by someone here on yahoo that, its good to take glutathione pills with vitamin C to maximize its effect of skin whitening.

I like to avoid taking pills as much as i can.. pls help..

thanks..

Answer :

Glutathione sold on the store shelves is mostly excreted out of your body and ends up not giving your body the intended effects. The molecule itself is too big to enter the cell. I have found a product call MaxGXL. The first ingredient is vitamin C

For proper body functioning & staying healthy, Max GXL is a must. Max GXL helps your body naturally produce an adequate supply of Glutathione which protects you from harmful affects of stress & over exertion, and is critical to optimal brain function. So if you are tired, overworked, aging or having other related problems, you need MAX GXL. It’s basically a Glutathione accelerator which will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and improve your immune system.

Max GXL is formulated to strengthen your immune system, and provide optimal health, greater energy, and enhanced athletic performance. It provides proper nutrients that develops & absorbs glutathione. Max GXL will detoxify your liver & thus help the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.

For more information send me an email or call me and I will send you the ingredient list.

Should people EAT or NOT eat oranges, vitamin c, chicken, chicken soup & spicy stuff when they’re sick?

I keep getting different stories.

Answer :

It’s best to eat light: broth(not soup), crackers, dry toast, plain white rice, diluted juice.

I find a cold goes away quicker if I fast for a day, and just have water or a little diluted juice.

“Feed a cold, starve a fever” is actually a misquote. It’s actually “If you feed a cold, you’ll have to starve a fever.”

Does anyone know anything about bone cancer? How about vitamin c injections to treat cancer?

Answer :

Bone cancer (its actual medical name is bone tumor, there is no such thing as bone cancer, but that is totally irrelevant) is a serious matter but luckily it does not cause a high death rate. If the cancer can be caught early it can be treated with chemo but we many of us know that chemo is not always 100%. Chemo therapy is different with each type of bone cancer, Ewing’s Sarcoma shows to be terminated easily by chemo but others like chondrosarcoma are not as great. If the cancer is caught late then amputation will have to be a last resort. amputation will stop the cancer in its tracks but amputation is extremely hard to deal with. As for the vitamin C, i honestly do not see that woeking whatsoever. Linus Pauling, the only person to win two nobel prizes, strongy believed in high doses of vitamin C and that they will help him live longer and stronger but research on his brain and bones proved that he was no more immune to any disease or cancer than if he didn’t take the vitamin
C. Personally I feel that high doses of Calcium will be good as well as Cod liver oil might help. U should also consider stem cell…. If it falls within your beliefs.

If calcium inhibits the absorbtion of Vitamin C, what is the best way to take it?

Best liquid Vitamin C for guinea pigs?

I have 3 male piggies. Two of them chew the Oxbow Vit C tablets with no problems. The other one will only take it once in a great while. I know he should take it daily but he doesn’t. They are very picky and don’t eat all the fruit and vegtables that most pigs do. I tried a small slice of orange and I thought they were going to chew the bars off the cage trying to get away from it! My question is, what is the best liquid vitamin C product out there for guinea pigs? A lot of those vitamins you buy in the pet stores have so many other ingredients in them that I wonder if they need all that extra stuff!? I don’t care how much it costs. I just want the best! I feed them Oxbow pellets with romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, bananas, apples, and lots of Oxbow hay. I do offer lots of other things, but they are usually rejected. Can they get too much vitamin C? I was told that any extra will get “eliminated.”

Thanks for the help!

Answer :

Well, you certainly did your homework! I can tell you really love the little guys.

Guinea pigs know what (and how much) to eat to keep themselves healthy. They will instinctively eat what they need.

If you buy good quality GP food, you don’t need to supplement it, it’s already in there.

Don’t worry about it, they are fine. You are feeding them exactly what they need.

I just Brought Mega B Complex Vitamins, but i’m not sure about the Directions for use, can u help me out ?

Its Says Take one Tablet daily with food,

Does it means i take 1 tablet while i’m Eating my lunch or dinner ?

Answer :

That means you can take the tablet after eating your food. You can not take this on empty stomach. Food need not be lunch or dinner, it may even be some snacks. Only thing you have to remember is that most of the medicines should not be taken on empty stomach. I am using the Vitamins myself. But it is preferable that you take them regularly at a fixed time. This rule applies for any medicine.

Is B-complex vitamins for anti-anxiety?

do B-complex vitamins work for people with social anxiety? how long do I have to take the vitamins to see any big improvements? If you are suffering from social anxiety and taking this, describe what it does, or do u recommend another vitamin that’s only for social anxiety?

Answer :

Its a nutrient your brain and nerves need ! If a person’s foods don’t supply enough for that person’s bodily needs, then symptoms of vitamin deficiency will develop, and anxiety does tend to develop then. I guess it was nature’s means to get a creature to start worrying to start getting better nutrition, and energy to survive too. Today’s foods are often poor for nutrients because of accelerated mass production, processing and preservatives that can work against full nutrition, and some products have extra vitamins replenished “vitamin enriched” because it lost so much of the original vitamins in them. Some people really need or can benefit from more vitamins (but still must be below toxic levels), other people may not need supplements. The B-vitamins work together and should be balanced, and must be taken with starchy foods like bread or rice. With adequate amounts of b-complex vitamins, a person can handle the social and other stresses better, i
t does help to cope and thrive despite stress.

You might also want to check GABA . Its a normal substance the body produces within, and some people either produce a bit less or don’t use it efficiently, so supplements might help. Contact a health food / nutrition store or a naturopath about that. Its cool.

What’s up with all the ignorant thumbs-downs ??????????

What is vitamin B complex? cod liver oil?how should i take them?

Answer :

Vitamin B complex is a bunch of B vitamins that your body needs, but doesn’t produce naturally. (you need to eat them) Cod liver oil is fish oil, which contains a lot of Omega 3 fatty acids that we typically don’t get enough of in our regular diet.

I take one multivitamin per day, which contains B vitamins and I also take a couple Fish Oil capsules. I just take them with a meal and it’s really easy, unless you aren’t into the whole pill thing. You can get liquids of both, but pill-form is probably easier and cheaper. If you don’t take them with a meal, they could upset your stomach (the Bs/multivitamin) and/or not be as effective. (the cod oil)

If i take a vitamin b complex capsule everyday is there any problem?

Answer :

Not at all ? The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, immune and digestive functioning and will help your body deal with the everyday dramas and stresses that we are confronted with better ?

Ensure that you are taking a good quality multi B complex that includes all the B’s as they work best synergistically ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5,B6 and B12 and folic acid. If you are having trouble digesting your tablets go get yourself some organic apple cider vinegar and put 2 tablespoons full into a glass, mix up and drink up…….. the apple cider vinegar will increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy and aid in digestion. Ensure you buy organic as the commercial varieties have had way too much of thegoodness taken out of them to be used therapeutically. …….. also ensure that you shake well before using to disperse the mother (active ingredient)throughout and that you drink it through a straw to protect the enamel on your teeth ?

Should I take Vitamin B complex?

In addition to taking multivitamins, should I also take Vitamin B complex?

I have moderate acne and thinning hair on top of my head due to stress (school-related). And I heard that taking Vit B complex will help with the skin (make the pores smaller), increase energy, and also for hair growth. The thing is I don’t have hairy arms or legs so I’m worried if I take ‘em, I’ll be hairy on those areas as well lol

Lately I’ve been low in energy (i’m always tired), my diet isn’t the best since i don’t have time to cook (i eat tv-dinners, etc),I very rarely exercise and i am underweight. This is all temporary cuz I’m in school full time and i work part-time (hopefully after i graduate i can do everything to take care of my health properly–ex. go to the gym regularly, cook healthy food, see a doctor regularly, etc)

Anyway, should i take Vit B complex? Serious replies only!!!

Thanks!

Answer :

You could take them, it wouldn’t hurt, and they won’t cause excess hair to grow where it shouldn’t. BUT I think what you are lacking is some serious protein and complex carbs for energy and even some fats (the good kind). Your body needs those to properly function.

Maybe you should supplement with nutritional drinks instead. They contain vitamins and minerals in addition to a balance of protein, carbs, and fats.

Being malnourished in addition to vitamin deficient will make your immune system fragile and you could be susceptible to all types of illnesses. That is exactly what you don’t need with all that stuff you got going on. How do you expect to graduate and work if you’re not healthy?

Vitamin B Complex Injection!!!!?

I would like to take a vitamin b complex injection, i have the vial and the needles, but how do i know how much is enough so i don’t take too much?????

Answer :

First, the natural question is why you would be considering injections instead of daily oral supplementation in the form of tablets or tincture. If you have been diagnosed with a deficiency (ie B12) and told that you cannot produce the intrinsic factor necessary to absorb it, then that would be a reason to use injectables. Otherwise, use a high quality supplement daily and make sure you include quality whole grains, nuts, legumes and eggs or dairy (if you’re not vegan). Many people hop on the bandwagon without completely understanding the implications of over-supplementation. Do your research. Start with good nutrition, then consider supplements if you feel you just can’t manage to get what your body requires.

I just started taking Vitamin B complex, Dry Vitamin D,Multi V Just for Men, and Omega from vitamin shoppe.?

I’m also taking cymbalta for my depression. Is this good for me?

Answer

Too much fat soluble vitamins like Vit A, D, E and K are bad for humans. These vitamins tend to be stored in fat and then slowly released. That is OVERKILL because it causes more side effects especially when you’re taking prescription medication.

Vitamin B5 is also known as pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 is the richest of all the vitamins and is found in all kinds of foods. In fact, it is impossible for one person to consume less vitamin B5, as they need. This means that there is no possibility that a little person can have a deficiency of vitamin B5. For this reason there are not recommended daily amount that health professionals as each state receives more than enough of their normal food consumption. But although there is no need to calculate a recommended daily allowance it does not mean that vitamin B5 is not vital for a healthy body and mind. In fact, the vitamin B5 is essential for turning food into energy among other functions. Vitamin B5 is responsible for the inclusion of fats and carbohydrates into energy.

Some vitamin B5 can be found in almost every food whether it is animal or vegetable. Of course, there are a number of sources of vitamin B5 that are better than others, but a balanced diet, will be more than enough. The foods with the highest content of vitamin B5 his organ meats, salmon, eggs, beans, milk, and whole grains. It is noteworthy that the vitamin B5 is lost when grains are ground into flour and the tendency not to beaded back in. Therefore, grain processed foods such as bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereals, baked goods and are not good sources of Vitamin B5.

The vitamin B5, it is most effective when combined with other B-vitamins B1 or especially thiamin, riboflavin or B2, niacin or B3, pyridoxine or B6 and biotin. Along with these other B-vitamins, vitamin B5 is an integral part in a number of processes. Chief among these is the production of energy from food that is consumed and this is known as the Kreb s cycle. The vitamin B5 is also required for the release of energy from fat.

Interestingly, the vitamin B5 will also prove helpful in reducing the stress. This is mainly due to the fact that in times of stress, the body produces more of certain hormones, such as adrenaline and require vitamin B5. There are many theories about the benefits of vitamin B5, but there is no need for the majority of people who are actively for the food, high in B5, because they are likely to consume far more than is necessary. There are no negative impacts to consume too much vitamin B5.
