SCIENTIFIC FACT 

Did you know that 63 million years ago or so, our ancestors lost the ability to create vitamin C within our bodies, so we have to procure it externally? A water soluble vitamin, it works as a powerful antioxidant within the cell and is a crucial co-enzyme for the production of steroids, hormones, pigment molecules, the components of cell and tissue membranes, and the synthesis of collagen - without it, the triple helix cannot be formed. Hence, more wrinkles! 


In addition, vitamin C also helps regulate amino acid metabolism and strengthens capillary walls.  Also, since vitamin C is stored in the adrenal glands in the body, stress can destroy it in a matter of seconds, as can the birth control pill, aspirin and smoking tobacco! Vitamin C is an essential nutrient required by the body for the development, repair, and/or maintenance of scar tissue, blood vessels, and cartilage and is necessary for creating ATP, dopamine, peptide hormones, and tyrosine. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps lessen oxidative stress to the body and is thought to lower cancer risk.

 

Restore your body today with foods high in vitamin C such as peppers, leafy greens, and citrus fruit and replenish your skin topically by using Rhonda Allison's C-PEPTIDE COMPLEX and other antioxidant-based products such as ANTIOXIDANT COMPLEX SERUM!!
