Vitamin C Safety
Vitamin C has been studied closely since its discovery in the early 20th century. There are many researches and studies that have shown its benefits as well as the lack of side effects when it is administered even in large doses. Find out some misconceptions here.
Magnesium and Aging
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in human beings. It is required for sodium, potassium, and calcium homeostasis, as well as for the formation, transfer, storage, and utilization of ATP (the energy currency in our body) at the cellular level. You cannot live without magnesium. The lower the cellular level of magnesium, the faster disease states develop and the faster aging progresses. It's that simple.
Vitamin C – Upper limits
The Antioxidant Panel of the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences (NAS), announced in 2000 the new recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for Vitamin C and E. For Vitamin E, the new RDA for both men and women has been raised to 15 mg, up from 8 mg for men and 6.4 mg for women. The newly established upper level, assuming the source is from supplementation, is as high as 1,000 mg of Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol per day). This is equivalent to roughly 1,500 IU of "d-alpha-tocopherol." For Vitamin C, the new RDA is 90 mg for men and 75 mg for women, up from 65 mg. The newly established upper limit for Vitamin C is 2,000 mg per day.

Millions of people worldwide are taking blood thinners for hypercoagulation. Millions of others are prescribed aspirin (a blood thinner) to prevent arteriosclerosis, despite side effects such as gastric irritation and bleeding.
Cancer and Anti-oxidants
With or without the knowledge of their doctor, research shows that 23 percent of cancer patients take antioxidants. The use of antioxidants as an adjunct to conventional or as an integral part of alternative cancer therapy is an area of intense research. Many questions are unanswered, although we know today much more than we ever have in the past.
Magnesium and Osteoporosis
Magnesium, although constituting only a small fraction of bone matter, plays a disproportionately important role in maintain the optimum level of calcium in the body. This relationship becomes critical when one deals with osteoporosis.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
There is an increase of awareness in the role of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish and fish oils and aid in the prevention and management of heart diseases. This can help reduce your risk of developing an abnormal heartbeat; which can lead to heart problems and even sudden death.
Vitamin C Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease
The past 30 years saw more and more people opting for the use of mega-dose Vitamin C therapy together with lysine, proline, and carnitine to prevent and treat heart diseases. Although this therapy is still not within mainstream medicine, many well-conducted studies have proven the effectiveness of these natural compounds.We will be dwelling on this subject in greater detail below. Meanwhile, let us first have a basic understanding of the functions of the endothelial and how atherosclerosis, the foundation of cardiovascular disease comes about.
