We can’t live without Vitamin C
There are two important reasons why we need to get Vitamin C – and get it every day.
First of all, Vitamin C is critical for many different and normal processes of the body, being used by every cell. Studies show Vitamin C helps our bodies with everything from promoting heart health, strengthening the immune system and helping with repair of injuries to maintaining healthy joints, supporting vision, making collagen, and more.
And second, in today’s society, our bodies are under greater strain and pressure than ever. For example, there are more daily stressors of the mental, emotional and physical kind. Plus there are more toxins, in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the foods we eat. All of this means our bodies have to work harder, just to stay even. As a result, high levels of Vitamin C are often necessary to help shore up the body’s defense systems and help normalize harmful toxins, which can lead to illness.
For all these reasons, Dr. Alfred Libby and two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling considered Vitamin C absolutely vital to good health. So much so that Dr. Pauling wrote extensively about its extraordinary importance in his book on living longer.
Vitamin C – Daily Use is Crucial for Your Good Health
For Support of Your Immune System
Did you know that the bodies of primates (humans, apes, monkeys, etc.) can not make their own Vitamin C – but that the bodies of dogs, cats and other mammals can?
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling thought this was one of the most unfortunate things for humans. And from his extensive research, Dr. Pauling also emphasized that Vitamin C was crucial to the maintenance of a healthy immune system. In 1970, he proposed that regular doses of Vitamin C, in amounts much higher than the RDA’s amount, could help prevent and shorten the duration of the common cold.
Recent medical research confirms Dr. Pauling’s contention. A high Vitamin C intake not only markedly helps to reduce a cold’s severity, it also effectively protects against infections in your body. (Source -- Vitamin C: Your Ultimate Health Insurance, by Hans R. Larsen, MSc ChE.)
For Support of Your Heart Health
In the early 1990s, several large population studies showed a reduction in cardiovascular disease in those who consumed vitamin C. The most significant report came from UCLA in 1992, where it was announced that men who took 800 mg a day of vitamin C lived six years longer than those who consumed the FDA's recommended daily allowance of 60 mg a day. The study, which evaluated 11,348 participants over a ten year period of time, showed that high vitamin C intake extended average life span and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease by 42%. This study was published in the journal Epidemiology (1992; 3:3, pp 194-202).
Separately, Thomas Levy, MD, JD, Cardiologist has said this, “The lower your vitamin C blood and tissue levels go, the greater your chances of developing significant heart disease." |
We need to get Vitamin C, daily -- from outside sources
Although Vitamin C is so essential, the body cannot manufacture it. Nor can the body store it. In fact, excess Vitamin C is flushed out by the body as a normal process. This means two things: The human body must get this vitamin from outside sources, and it must get a new supply every day.
We can even benefit from taking Vitamin C more than once a day. The reason why is that by evening, our bodies’ supplies of it are often running low. This can potentially contribute to serious health problems. According to research, many heart attacks happen during the night when Vitamin C levels are at their lowest.
One way to get Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is through diet, from fresh fruits and vegetables. But the problem here is that most of us cannot achieve the optimum levels of Vitamin C needed for good health by diet alone. Instead, to achieve our optimum level of wellness, most of us need to take Vitamin C in the form of supplements every day.
Only the best Vitamin C will do
For maximum results, we need the best Vitamin C, a superior supplement that gives us… maximum absorption for quicker results… greater potency for stronger health support… and a body-friendly gentleness that will not upset the stomach or its pH balance.
For all these reasons, we need the right Vitamin C -- one with the superior quality of Dr. Libby’s Vital C. It helps to:
- Build your body’s defenses by supporting the immune system, neutralizing free radicals, mobilizing white blood cells and protecting vitamins and other nutrients from oxidation
- Detoxify your body of harmful toxins such as alcohol, smoke and other chemical pollutants
- Strengthen your body’s cardiovascular health by assisting with the building of collagen, increasing elasticity in the heart and arteries, and normalizing blood pressure and cholesterol
- Boost your body’s energy production by strengthening cellular integrity
- Promote healthy aging, speed wound recovery, facilitate body repair, reduce inflammation and minimize nerve pain.
As you can see, Vitamin C is absolutely vital to our good health. And because of this, you need a supplement of superior quality.
The six-sided crystalline cell – it’s better!
The crystalline cells in Dr. Libby’s Vital C are one of the primary advantages compared to other Vitamin C supplements, which typically use finely-ground granules instead. That’s because the six-sided, crystalline cell structure provides much more surface area than finely-ground granulated cells. This in turn allows for more thorough and complete nutrient absorption by the body, before the supplement is eliminated.
In other words, the crystalline form of Vitamin C releases more of the full potency of the nutrient into your body compared to other forms, even the finely-ground granulated form.
Both of TriVita’s Vital C supplements use the crystalline cell form of Vitamin C. In our Crystals product, the crystalline cells come in a loose, powdered form. While in our Time-Release Tablets, the crystalline cells come in a compressed tablet form.
For superior Vitamin C potency, your body is better served with crystalline cells (in either the loose or tablet form) versus the finely-ground, granular form. |
Boost your immune system with a Vitamin C flush
Over time, your body collects toxins, or poisons, that can damage your health. They collect in your lymphatic system and this can affect your body’s ability to repair itself.
The lymphatic or “lymph” system is an important part of the immune system. It’s made up of vessels, organs, nodes and ducts that help maintain fluid balance in your body. Plus, the lymph system makes, stores and carries white blood cells throughout your body.
Toxins can pile up in your lymph nodes. Two-thirds of your immune system resides in these lymph nodes. If they are full of toxins, your body will not respond correctly to new stresses. Also, allergies and autoimmune diseases can start with these nodes when they are full of waste. A process called a “Vitamin C flush” can help your body get rid of this waste.
The Vitamin C flush can help stimulate your lymphatic system and help you calculate the maximum amount of Vitamin C that your body can use every day.
Because Vitamin C is water soluble, it must be taken every day. It is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells against damage caused by free radicals (unstable atoms or molecules). It also supports the body’s immune system and plays a role in healthy gums, skin, vision and connective tissue. Here’s how the flush works:
- Start your flush in the morning on an empty stomach; set aside at least 4 hours. It will not take that long but you want to have that time to comfortably recover from the flush.
- Take 1 teaspoon of TriVita Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals in 4 or more ounces of water every 15 minutes until the lymph system "flushes."
Important note: Some people report loose stools or even diarrhea with large amounts of Vitamin C. The lymph flush is not to be confused with diarrhea. Lymph fluid is plasma – mostly water. You will know your lymph system has flushed when you release large amounts of fluid through your bowels. This is the point where your body can no longer absorb Vitamin C.
- Multiply the number of teaspoons of Vitamin C it took to flush by 0.75. This is the maximum number of teaspoons you can use in a day.
Example: 8 teaspoons to flush x 0.75 = 6
Take no more than 6 teaspoons of Vitamin C per day
- Divide the number of daily teaspoons by 3; this will be your serving in the morning, midday and evening.
Example: Maximum of 6 teaspoons
6 ÷ 3 = 2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons in the morning
2 teaspoons at midday
2 teaspoons in the evening
- Finish the bottle of Vitamin C at this reduced serving. You may continue taking this amount daily for several months if desired.
The average person can flush 1-4 times per year. In time, and after several flushes, you may see that your daily Vitamin C needs go down to what may be considered a more normal serving – one or two teaspoons, twice a day.
*Please check with your healthcare provider before starting the Vitamin C Flush.

"...this is the fourth year that I have not gotten sick."
I've been taking TriVita’s Vitamin C Crystals and I haven’t gotten sick for a long time. If you had known me before, you'd know how quickly I'd get sick with Bronchitis, which would leave me with a bad cough for up to six weeks. Since I added the Vitamin C crystals, I’m feeling even better. I like them because they release slowly in your system. I take them year round, and need just ¼ teaspoon a day. I add a bit more if I feel I'm getting a sore throat, but then it goes away! I am a homecare nurse. I am around a lot of germs and sickness, yet I am not getting sick!
-- Ann H. Crawfordsville, IN
"Colds are a thing of the past for our family."
"We love the Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals. Those crystals get right to work. My children take a little more of it at the first sign of a cold and away it goes. Colds are a thing of the past for our family."
-- Jackie M. St. Charles, MO
"...this is one of the best products that I have ever found."
"I have been taking TriVita's Vitamin C Crystals for a very long time. I truly believe that this is one of the best products that I have ever found. When my son was little he constantly had severe ear, nose, and throat problems. He would run very high temperatures, up to 106. I was constantly taking him to the doctor. They would put him on antibiotics every time. After I met Dr. Libby and he explained to me how Vitamin C works, I immediately began giving my son the Vitamin C. Since then my son has not had one ear, nose, or throat problem. Nor has his temperature ever been that high since. I could tell you a zillion stories as to how this product has changed our family’s lives. Thank God for Dr. Libby, who was an angel living here on earth."
-- Teresa W. Hendersonville, TN
