One of New Zealand’s Favourite
Supplements Gets a Recipe-Ready Makeover

We all know the world’s most popular vitamin in its synthetic form: a little orange tablet, tangy to the taste. But did you know it’s best to get your daily intake of Vitamin C naturally as possible to ensure effectiveness?

Lifestream today announced the launch of Lifestream Natural Vitamin C Powder, a new 100 percent natural wholefood supplement that can be added to cereal, salads, smoothies, juices and other dishes.

An important antioxidant that boosts immunity, particularly when needed in the colder months and during stress, Vitamin C is also renowned for promoting healthy gums and supporting strong, healthy collagen and connective tissues.

However, not all Vitamin C supplements are equal, with most made from synthetic ingredients. Such formulations are not as bioavailable (readily absorbed by the body) as natural wholefood Vitamin C, which is enhanced by the presence of co-factors, such as bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Choosing a wholefood source promotes maximum bioavailability, as nature intended.

THE ABC’S OF VITAMIN C

• We must get Vitamin C from our diet
•
• Vitamin C is water-soluble and destroyed by heat
•
• Most “high dose” intake is passed through the body within four hours
•
• 75 percent is passed through within 24 hours of consumption
•
• Bigger doses are not necessarily more effective
•
• Smaller doses, throughout the day, are better
•
Lifestream Natural Vitamin C Powder is formulated from Vitamin C-rich certified organic acerola berries. Importantly, the formula is very gentle on the stomach, without the acidity of some supplements. It is ideal to take when the immune system is compromisedor as additional seasonal support.

“Vitamin C keeps teeth and gums healthy, supports wound healing and mucous membrane health, helps iron absorption, supports healthy circulation and cardiovascular health. It’s also fantastic for our liver,” says naturopath Erica Lahmert. “The powdered form of Vitamin C is excellent for adding to smoothies, raw desserts and other cold to room temperature foods — it has a pleasant, subtle taste that blends seamlessly into your favourite dishes, unlike traditional artificially produced or flavoured Vitamin C.”

As a water soluble vitamin, it is important to take vitamin C each day, preferably as food rather than as a chemical. With Lifestream Natural Vitamin C powder, each dose provides 340mg of bioavailable vitamin C.

Lifestream also produce Natural Vitamin C in capsule form.
