Nature’s C is not processed to separate any of the whole food constituents. Very low temperatures are also used in the dehydration of the fruits in order to optimize nutrient and enzyme content. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, to assist in collagen formation, to boost the immune system, and is necessary in the synthesis of stress hormones. Nature’s C contains the highest quality of unprocessed fruits and fruit juices. It is a high potency amount of Vitamin C from whole food sources.

Contrary to what most pharmaceutical companies or health companies want you to believe, ascorbic acid is not vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is only a fraction of the factors that make up a ” Whole Food” vitamin C. Without the other factors or components such as Bioflavonoid, Rutin, J & K factors, Vitamin C is incomplete and thus forces the body to seek out from its own reserves of these nutrients to complete the vitamin C complex. This actually depletes vitamin C from the body and can cause fatal effects. These companies that sell you ascorbic acid as vitamin C make this up synthetically in a laboratory instead of extracting them from the whole food. It is very easy and inexpensive to mix together basically two ingredients, corn syrup and hydrochloric acid, and call it Vitamin C. Yes! It is true. Imagine what happens inside of your arteries and capillaries when day after day they are loaded with corn syrup. If you go shopping for a vitamin C at your local health food store or grocery store, you will see as you begin to pick up the different bottles that almost 100% of the vitamins sold to the consumer are vitamins that come from a synthetic source. That means that the label will read “Vitamin C” as “Ascorbic Acid” as the main ingredient.

In 2000, an article was published in the Los Angeles times on March 3rd by Terrence Monmaney. The article cited a university study that had recently been finished by the lead University of Southern California researcher, epidemiologist James Dwyer, of the Keck School of Medicine. In the study a group of 573 men and women were studied. Those who had consumed the most vitamin C from pills over a year and a half had more evidence of possible future atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, compared to those who did not take vitamin C pills. To gauge the vitamin C effects, researchers performed ultra sound measurements of the subject’s carotid arteries, which are in the neck. The method is an accepted substitute for probing coronary arteries directly. Using just half of the recommended RDA amount of 1000 mg. per day, the study was performed by using just 500 mg per day of Vitamin C “as ascorbic acid” for six months.

Ultra sounds were then performed a second time and the results showed that after consuming only 500 mg a day, the inner artery wall layer was 2.5 times thicker than that of those that did not take any of the synthetic vitamin C. Among smoking supplement takers, the inner artery walls were 5 times thicker. Such thickening precedes atherosclerosis physicians say. What the article failed to point out however is that true “Whole Food” Vitamin C is very beneficial as an antioxidant, assists in collagen formation, boost the immune system and is necessary in the synthesis of stress. Millions of Americans like those in the study are consumers of ascorbic acid and corn syrup type “Vitamin C,” thus being recipients of the harmful and negative side effects. Why is it then that if by taking these partial and incomplete vitamins, which are known to have side effects, do these companies continue to sell them to public? The answer is “Profits.” Health companies and pharmaceutical companies can make larger profits by selling cheap imitations of Vitamin C and other supplements.

Fortunately you will not find these same synthetic ingredients in Divine Nature’s Whole Food Vitamin C Chewable supplements.
