What Vitamin Supplement do we need?

To reverse ageing we need to take antioxidants, since these destroy free radicals which are major cause of premature ageing. The two most effective vitamin antioxidants are vitamins C and E. Vitamin C is also the vitamin we are most deficient in, due to depleted soils and the fact that our bodies use up a lot of vitamin C in fighting pollution.

The only other supplements we need are kelp as a concentrated mineral source, garlic and rejuvenation herbal product. These are discussed below:

Vitamin C
Benefits:

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, it gives some protection against cancer, accelerates wound healing, promotes immunity against disease, promotes regeneration of spinal discs, helps prevent heart disease, stimulates the adrenal gland (which are very important for rejuvenation), increase sex-hormone production and is a potent antitoxin.

Vitamin C also reduces facial wrinkles and promotes a smooth, healthy complexion. Scientists have shown that ageing, including facial wrinkles, is caused largely by destruction of collagen, the 'cement' which binds the body's cells together. Its destruction is mainly caused by lack of vitamin C and the sun's radiation.

You can see how important vitamin C is, and yet in one survey 90 percent of people tested for vitamin C were found tobe deficient in it.

Natural Sources
Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables, especiallycitrus fruits, apples, kiwifruit, strawberries, potatoesm cabbage, brocolli and tomatoes.

Dosage
You should take 1000 mg, split into two tablets, each taken after meal. The best form in which to take Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Tablets or pills are better than powder supplements, since nutrients are tightly bound together in this form and therefore protected against oxidation and going rancid.
