High-Potency Source

Optivida Health’s vitamin C is a 140 mg per capsule, or 233% of the daily value for viatmin C.

Acerola cherries are the only ingredient found in this vitamin C nutrient supply. We use the entire cherry, not just the juice. These cherries are naturally high in vitamin C and the co-factors and enzymes that give vitamin C its power.

Ascorbic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin C created from genetically modified (GMO) corn syrup and hydrochloric acid. A synthetic ingredient like this tends to be about 1/10th of the cost of a natural ingredient like acerola cherries.

GENOTOXINS

Optivida does not use synthetic Vitamin C. Several studies give details about the dangers associated with the synthetic form of vitamin C. The first study of synthetic vitamin C found chemical agents associated with cell mutations (genotoxins).

The research study (in Science Jun 15, 2001) reported that: “Synthetic vitamin C may contribute to the formation of genotoxins that can lead to cancer.”

ARTERY DAMAGE

A study presented to the American Heart Association showed: “A link between consumption of only 500mg of synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) per day and a great propensity toward thickening of arteries.”

MUSCLE DAMAGE

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that, “The administration of (synthetic) vitamin C significantly hampered endurance capacity.”
