FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does taking vitamin C help you to avoid
getting colds?
Some nutritionists have called vitamin C the cure for the common cold.
Although it does not cure a cold, numerous studies have shown that vitamin C
is effective in reducing the severity and the duration of a cold. One study
showed vitamin C reduced the duration of the cold by 21%, and another found
vitamin C reduced the severity and length of respiratory infections in a
group of marathon runners. My
ophthalmologist suggested I take an additional dose of vitamin C for
optimum eye protection and health. What is the reason for that?
Vitamin C is highly concentrated in the eye, and protects against free
radicals. Free radical damage to the lens is one cause of cataracts and
macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of impaired vision and
blindness. An ongoing nurses health study found that women using vitamin C
supplementation long tern had a 77% lower risk of age-related cataracts
compared to women who did not take the supplement.
I've heard about the topical uses of aloe
vera, but what about taking aloe vera orally?
Aloe vera has many functions. It is great both topically and orally, and
is used in many applications such as skin care, dietary supplements and
herbal beverages. Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Benefits of aloe vera taken orally:
Why do athletes take large doses of
vitamin C ?
Three studies evaluated the effects of vitamin C supplementation on
muscle damage following exercise. It appears that higher doses of vitamin
C (800mg/day to three grams/day) may have some benefit in reducing muscle
soreness and damage following exercise. However lower doses (200mg/day)
have little benefit. What are the
benefits of combining vitamin C and aloe vera ?
A recent study conducted by Dr. Joe Vinson at Scranton University,
Scranton, Pa. concluded that consuming vitamin E or vitamin C with aloe
vera increased the half-life of the vitamin in the plasma. This research
suggests that you can increase the bioavailability of vitamin C when it is
combined with aloe vera. My friend
recommended this product to prevent and heal my cold sores. Does that
work?
We have many customers who have reported that their cold sores healed
quickly with the use of Aloe C Defense. Others say that when Aloe C
Defense is used as a gargle and then swallowed, it helps to prevent
outbreaks. |
