People with kidney stones (especially calcium-oxalate type) should consult their healthcare practitioner before high-dose vitamin C. People with hemochromatosis should be cautious — vitamin C enhances iron absorption. People with allergies to any of the fruit sources should check the label. If you want a single-ingredient vitamin C for combining with other specific supplements, a simpler product gives you more dosing control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamart's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgressive Vitamin C Complex is a multi-source vitamin C supplement for immune and antioxidant support. Instead of plain ascorbic acid, it combines whole-food vitamin C sources, fruit extracts, and naturally occurring bioflavonoids — a useful feature if you prefer a whole-food approach to vitamin C. It’s also designed to be gentler on the stomach. It’s made in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Progressive Vitamin C Complex Compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProgressive vs Basic Ascorbic Acid (NOW C-1000)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW C-1000 is plain ascorbic acid with citrus bioflavonoids — simple, effective daily vitamin C at the lowest cost per gram in Canada. Progressive combines multiple vitamin C sources with eight fruit extracts and support nutrients — the whole-food premium approach at higher cost. For most adults wanting daily immune support, NOW C-1000 is the sensible workhorse. Progressive is the upgrade for whole-food enthusiasts, sensitive stomachs, or people wanting broader nutritional context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProgressive vs AOR C + Bioflavonoids\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAOR C + Bioflavonoids pairs ascorbic acid with a wider spectrum of citrus bioflavonoids (narirutin, didymin, hesperidin, hesperetin) at a premium price. Progressive adds whole fruit extracts and support nutrients on top of multiple vitamin C sources. AOR is the bioflavonoid-focused premium; Progressive is the comprehensive whole-food premium. Both are quality choices at higher price points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProgressive vs Liposomal Vitamin C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiposomal vitamin C uses fat-based delivery technology for higher absorption — useful at high doses (2,000mg+) where standard vitamin C absorption plateaus. Progressive uses the whole-food approach for broader nutritional benefit but doesn't have the liposomal absorption advantage. Different priorities; choose liposomal for high-dose absorption, Progressive for whole-food nutritional context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProgressive vs Camu Camu or Acerola Powder Alone\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure camu camu or acerola cherry powder gives you concentrated whole-food vitamin C from a single source — typically more affordable per mg of vitamin C but with less daily-supplement convenience. Progressive includes multiple whole-food sources in one capsule with added support nutrients. Powders work well if you're already adding to smoothies; capsules are simpler for daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Vitamin C Complex (Not Just Ascorbic Acid)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C in nature is never alone.\u003c\/strong\u003e Real fruit contains vitamin C alongside bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and dozens of other compounds that work together.

Follow label dosing. For higher daily doses during active immune support periods, split into 2–3 doses through the day for steadier blood levels (vitamin C is water-soluble — splitting works better than one big dose).

When purchasing colostrum, ensure all its naturally occurring fats are kept intact for the greatest anti-aging benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tUnfortunately, most brands of colostrum have most of their fats removed. Removal of the natural fats from colostrum is primarily done for a number of reasons. The main purpose is to artificially elevate the IgG percentage in colostrum, thus making it \"appear\" to be harvested from the first or earlier collections. Another reason is to hide the rancid odor of poor quality, mishandled, or old colostrum. All else being equal, fat-free colostrum is more shelf stable and offers a longer shelf life. Lastly, fat-free colostrum mixes more easily with and dissolves more quickly in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tExcessive fat is a concern in our diets, as is cholesterol. Genuine first milking colostrum is very low in cholesterol, containing only 1.9 mg of cholesterol per gram of dried colostrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tImportance of Oral Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tUsing the proper delivery system is of great importance. The greatest benefits observed in scientific colostrum studies were achieved via oral delivery (absorption in the mouth). Colostrum absorbed in the oral cavity activates the entire body’s immune pathways to open to self-healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tBecause most infectious microorganisms enter the body through the nose or mouth, the oral cavity is specially designed with mucus membranes and salivary glands that secrete powerful immune components. The oral cavity is loaded with receptor sites which, when activated, alert the entire body through a complex chain reaction of immune system events. To maintain good health, it is critical that we are able to stop pathogens at their initial place of entrance and combat disease-causing organisms in the oral cavity before they travel further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tExamples of oral delivery include taking liquid under the tongue, slowly dissolving a lozenge or eating\/drinking powder mixed with food\/beverage. Swallowing capsules is not an ideal form of delivery as it bypasses the key oral receptor sites and misses the natural protease inhibitors, buffers, mucous secretions, hormones, enzyme, sensors and receptors. Essentially, it is delivered into the stomach without protection of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe gelatin capsule is then dissolved and the full effects of the stomach acid are applied to the colostrum components. It then is exposed to the rather basic bile salts in the duodenum and throughout the entire small intestine before it reaches the Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) near our appendix, where the primary response of the capsule ingested colostrum comes about. Much of the colostrum components could now be altered or denatured, and dilute or render them less effective. To compensate, a much larger dose of colostrum would have to be consumed to produce the same effective results. A better alternative would be to open capsules and take the colostrum orally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tLozenges, on the other hand, which are designed to be held inside the mouth for several minutes, are an ideal route for taking colostrum. Why? Because the oral cavity is the gate of entry into the body's communication network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAs a child, calf, foal, puppy or kitten nurses colostrum floods the oro-nasal pharyngeal cavity exposing the secretion to the many receptor sites. These receptor sights form a variety of communication pathways that distribute signals to various parts of the body. Part of the pharyngeal region contains lymphoid cells, tonsils, referred to as MALT, Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue. This is the same type of tissue as the lymphoid tissue near the illio-cecal valve termed as GALT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe great advantage of MALT over GALT is that MALT is present early on, before any digestive processes start to alter the colostral components as in GALT. MALT is also protected by many of the buffers, enzymes, mucous and other protective properies so secreted by glands in the oro-naso pharyngeal lamina propria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tImportance of First Milking\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWhile sometimes called “first milk”, colostrum is actually a pre-milk substance since milk is produced after colostrum. Birth is the event that stops colostrum production and triggers the creation of milk. All else being equal, the sooner after birth colostrum is collected, the higher its quality (measured as percentage of protein) and corresponding levels of immune and growth factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe highest quality colostrum is usually collected within the first six hours after birth. This is referred to as first milking colostrum and it is the closest thing to pure colostrum, which is only available immediately after birth. Colostrum from subsequent milkings, if blended with the first, compromises the delicate balance of immune and growth factors found only in first milking colostrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOnly first-milking colostrum is ever used in clinical and scientific research studies as colostrum quality declines rapidly after birth. Colostrum harvested twelve hours after birth contains only about one-third of the immune and growth factors present at birth and after twenty-four hours, it is less than one-quarter of its original quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAs little as 125mg of genuine, first-milking colostrum delivered via the oral cavity is sufficient to trigger an immune response. Several times that amount may be required with conventional multiple-milking products. Most colostrum products on the market are a combination of the first five milkings, collected up to 48 hours after birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe following table shows how quickly the quality of colostrum declines after birth:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg alt=\"Sequence Colostrum 200mg, 90 Lozenges\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/sequence-colostrum-quality-declines-after-birth.jpg\" style=\"width: 379px; height: 202px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAs you can see, time of harvest is of key importance in determining the quality of colostrum. If a product does not claim its source to be from only the first milking, likely it is not. Or, if it cannot back up its claims to be from only the first milking with a certificate of analysis done by an independent laboratory, it is likely not true first milking colostrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tGenuine first milking colostrum can cost several times as much as colostrum taken from a combination of subsequent milkings. Keep in mind that only the highest quality, first-milking colostrum is used in the thousands of clinical and scientific research studies. Colostrum collected from multiple milkings may not provide the desired results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tScientific Definition of Colostrum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tColostrum is the first lacteal secretion produced by the mammary glands of mammals at the beginning of lactation and is intended for ingestion by the newborn during the first hours of life. In most mammals, such as humans, many of the biologically active substances essential to development and survival, such as growth promoting substances and immunoglobulins, cross the placental barrier and are transferred to the fetus in utero. In sharp contrast, in bovine essentially none of these biologically active substances cross the placental barrier and, thus, must be acquired by the calf through suckling during the early hours of its life. As such, bovine colostrum represents a unique, concentrated resource for a wide variety of biologically active substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tColostrogenesis, the formation of colostrum, and lactogenesis, the process which mammary tissue undergoes when changing from a non-lactating to a lactating state, are events associated with pregnancy that are controlled by a specific complex of hormones and influenced by physical factors associated with the mammary gland. In the cow, development of mammary tissue and its ability to synthesize and produce secretions is promoted primarily by growth hormone and its mediators, the insulin-like growth factors IGF-1 and IGF-2 and the transforming growth factors TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2. The process is regulated by a series of other hormones, one of the most important being progesterone, which attaches to special receptors on the cells lining the mammary gland and prevents them from secreting any fluids into the gland during most of pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe formation of colostrum in the pregnant cow is initiated about 3-4 weeks before parturition (birth) when a limited amount of fluid is released into the developing mammary tissue containing small amounts of the growth factors and other transforming substances. These substances influence the appearance of specific receptors on the surface of the cells lining the mammary gland that will facilitate the transfer of materials from the mother's blood into the gland. The substances include, among others, the IgG (antibodies) necessary to convey passive immunity to the calf and various hormones and growth promoters required to induce development of the newborn calf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAbout two weeks before birth, the receptors for IgG become fully active. IgG from the mother's blood attaches to the receptors and is transferred via special vessels through the cells into the fluid in the gland. The IgM and IgA found in colostrum are actually produced by cells (B cells) from the mother's immune system that have moved into the mammary tissue. These molecules are transferred into the fluid in the gland by a similar receptor mechanism. The additional receptors on the cells lining the mammary gland capable of transporting other substances become fully activated about 3-5 days before birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAbout 2 days before birth, the hormonal balance begins to shift when the mother's blood concentration of prolactin and glucocorticoid hormones increases sharply, overriding some of the inhibitory effects of progesterone. This initiates the production of copious secretions and switches on the ability of cells in the mammary tissue to synthesize various substances, including lactose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAt birth, when the placenta is eliminated, progesterone levels fall dramatically in the mother and its inhibitory control of the secretions is removed. Simultaneously, a protein-based substance develops in the cells lining the mammary gland that essentially blocks any further transfer of substances from the mother's blood into the gland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe composition of the fluid in the mammary gland at birth is that of true colostrum and reflects the functional changes that have occurred in the gland up to that time; it a) has a high protein concentration, most of which is IgG; b) contains the highest concentration of growth promoters, other hormones and additional metabolically active substances; c) is low in lactose content; and d) is rich in milk fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIn addition to containing a high concentration of maternally-derived immunoglobulins, first milking bovine colostrum contains a number of other biologically active substances. Although all of these substances have not as yet been characterized, many of the seemingly most important ones have been identified, including, among others, the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tInsulin-like growth factors that act on various metabolic processes that affect the uptake of glucose to derive a source of energy and utilization of amino acids to build proteins by cells in the body.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSubunits of the hormone thymosin that act independently and in concert on the thymus gland to stimulate development and activation of the immune system.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tCytokines that stimulate the development and activation of various cells associated with the immune system.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tLactoferrin and transferrin, which are proteins that bind iron and act primarily in the gut to impede the growth of certain potentially pathogenic aerobic bacteria, like E. coli.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tXanthine oxidase and lactoperoxidase, which are enzymes that can inhibit the growth of certain potentially pathogenic bacteria in the gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAfter birth, one of the most influential factors on the composition of subsequent secretions is physical removal of the fluid from the mammary gland. The removal of even small quantities of fluid triggers the production of copious amounts of secretion from the cells in the mammary gland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tSince the transfer of biologically-active substances from the mother's blood is blocked, replacement fluid will contain primarily substances synthesized by cells in the mammary gland and, thus, will be of a different composition than the fluid originally contained in the mammary gland at birth. This fluid is known as transitional milk. The more original fluid, which is true colostrum, that is removed, the more adulterated the residual fluid becomes with transitional milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThis becomes more complex since the mother's system will begin to reabsorb certain of the biologically-active substances, including some of the hormones and the immunoglobulins, from the mammary gland back into her bloodstream within 6-8 hours after birth of her calf. Therefore, the composition of the mammary secretions changes rapidly during the hours and days after birth so that there is a continuous transition from true colostrum to mature milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe average yield of colostrum taken from a mature Holstein dairy cow during the first six hours after birth will be approximately ten liters. This removes about 80% of the true colostrum while the remaining 20% usually cannot be milked out during this period due to the normal congestion of the udder of the mother. After removal of the first harvest, the udder quickly fills with \"transitional milk\", which is lower in fat and protein and higher in lactose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe milking taken during the 6-12 hour period after birth again removes about 80% of the lacteal secretions present in the udder, including the 20% residual from the first milking. Again, 20% of this \"colostral\" material remains and is further diluted as the udder refills with \"transitional milk\". The only unadulterated true colostrum is, therefore, derived upon harvesting the first milking from the mother within six hours after birth and before the calf has suckled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTo assure that calves receive sufficient quantities of high quality true colostrum, most dairy producers in the United States do not allow the calf to suckle its mother immediately after birth, but prefer to physically remove the true colostrum, and feed the required amount by nursing bottle. The remainder of this material is what is then used to make colostrum products for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWhat Doctors are Saying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t“Antibodies in bovine colostrum are able to neutralize the most harmful bacteria, viruses, and yeasts.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10px;\"\u003eDr. Brandtzaeg; Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t“Immunoglobulin in colostrum has been used to successfully treat: Thrombocytopenia, Anemia, Neutropenia, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain Barre, Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bullous Pemphigoid, Kawasaki’s Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, Crohn’s disease, among others.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10px;\"\u003eDr. Dwyer; New England Journal of Medicine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t“Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), found in bovine colostrum, stimulates bone and muscle growth and nerve regeneration.
