Vitamin C, a Secret Weapon to Fighting Diseases

The Stronger your immunity, the higher your chances in fighting diseases, says an Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Doctor - Doctor Mike Vergara


As we live in incredibly perilous days, we need to value our health even more, especially amid these uncertain times.


But one particular vitamin can provide the added protection that you need—Vitamin C, which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is an essential, the safest, and one of the most efficient medicines needed in maintaining your health. 

 

Vitamin C is considered an essential medicine because it helps wounds heal faster and decreases the chances of chronic diseases like cancer. It is involved in repairing tissues and the enzymic production of certain neurotransmitters.  


Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Doctor Mike Vergara said that strengthening our immunity must be the focus amid the new normal, and Vitamin C can be a primary weapon in making it stronger and fighting diseases better. 


"Vitamin C helps our immune system fight diseases, whether it is a bacterial or viral infection like cold or COVID-19. The best way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by focusing on your immune system. If it is strong, then you are far away from getting infected. Of course, there are many factors in strengthening your immunity, but intaking Vitamin C daily must be the core practice, even when you get vaccinated," Vergara said. 


A Healthy Dose of Vitamin C 

Suppose we want to experience the benefits of Vitamin C at its best. In that case, the recommended daily nutrient intake of vitamin C for adults is 70mg for males and 60mg for females, according to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI). However, Vergara said 3000mg of Vitamin C per day for an adult is the best, according to Nobel Award Winner Dr. Linus Pauling.  


Vergara added that intaking at least 700mg per day already decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 25 percent. A study from Pauling famously claimed that large doses of the vitamin help prevent cold. Scientific Journals from Biomolecules also showed that Vitamin C has the power to kill cancer cells or change how cancer stem cells behave.  


Daily Vitamin C intake helps cleanse the body of harmful toxins, which is why diarrhea is a common side effect for taking too much of it, but the pros still outweigh the cons.  


Vitamin C also has other perks: managing high blood pressure, reducing uric acid levels, preventing gout attacks, improving memory and thinking, and preventing iron deficiency. It also helps prevent scurvy, which is a result of vitamin C deficiency. 


It can help make skin healthier since it stands as a precursor for collagen production. Vergara said that aging is all about inflammation and oxidation. That is why it is the perfect anti-aging nutrient because of its antioxidant effect.  


"When finding where you can take a good dose of Vitamin C, you have to include it in your diet. Your body does not produce it on its own. Yes, the body can produce many important chemicals, hormones, and vitamins by itself but not vitamin C. We need to take it from outside sources like your diet or supplements," Vergara said. 


The Richness of Vitamin C 

For Vergara, it does not take much to have a healthy heart and immune system. "Practicing healthy habits like eating properly, exercising, taking away stress, and taking vitamin C daily. You don't have to take expensive medicine when you can take the nutrients from natural products like food and supplements with Vitamin C, which is very affordable and carry less to no side effects." 


"The answer to solving all these diseases is in the food we take. God gave us the right to food, yet we are complicating our lives by trying to make and buy expensive medicines. We are creating our problems. Stick to proper nutrition and involve vitamin C and all green foods in our diet. That's our staple –our natural diet, the greens," Vergara said. 


When looking for the perfect Vitamin C source, Vergara highly recommends the Daily-C of Santé, a premier natural and organic health and wellness product and services provider. Daily-C is is sodium ascorbate for easy and comfortable digestion, especially for sensitive individuals. 


Daily-C now comes in 750mg variant in vegetable capsules, appealing to younger people living the vegetarian lifestyle. It also has a pH range of 7.00 to 8.00, making it safe for daily consumption. It gives an extra level of protection since it contains 843.64mg of Sodium Ascorbate, helping prevent and treat scurvy and vitamin C deficiency. 


"We at Santé firmly believe that prevention is always better than cure. Daily-C is our way of helping everyone have a natural source for their vitamins and live a healthy lifestyle. We encourage everyone to take action now and manage your health and diet so nothing bad happens," said Santé CEO Joey Marcelo. 


Daily-C is just one of the many other natural health and wellness products offered by Santé. Known for its flagship, Santé Barley™, the company has developed a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are made with organic barley grass, as certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency.
