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 takes a different approach than the standard vitamin C product — instead of one source of ascorbic acid, they layer together seven vitamin C sources (including whole-food sources like acerola cherry and camu camu, which contain natural ascorbic acid plus the bioflavonoids that always accompany it in real fruit), then add eight fruit extracts and seven support nutrients. The thinking is that vitamin C in nature is never alone — the fruits that humans evolved eating always provided vitamin C alongside hundreds of accompanying compounds that work synergistically. Whether the whole-food approach is meaningfully better than well-paired ascorbic acid + bioflavonoids is debated in the research, but the practical advantages are real: gentler on sensitive stomachs, broader antioxidant spectrum, and added benefit from the fruit polyphenols themselves. Progressive is a respected Canadian brand and this is one of the more comprehensive vitamin C formulas on the market. The trade-off is cost per mg of ascorbic acid — you're paying for the comprehensiveness. If you want basic daily vitamin C at the lowest cost, NOW C-1000 covers it. If you want whole-food vitamin C with broader nutritional context, Progressive is worth the upgrade.\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). The 120-capsule size is the better per-capsule value for ongoing daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney stones or kidney disease, have hemochromatosis or iron overload, are scheduled for surgery, have allergies to any of the fruit sources, or take medication.

If you want a higher-absorption form for very high daily doses (\u0026gt;2,000mg), look at liposomal vitamin C instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamart's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW is the go-to value-tier supplement brand for a reason — quality at accessible prices, and their C-1000 is one of the better daily vitamin C values in Canada. The 1,000mg per capsule is the dose most practitioners recommend for general daily immune support, and the added bioflavonoids and rosehips bring it closer to whole-food vitamin C than plain ascorbic acid.

It is used to relieve the discomfort of deep bronchial problems since its herbal formula has proven effective in not only killing bacteria, but in breaking down mucous deposits allowing our bodies to clear them out. Since Alpenkraft is effective in severe cases of bronchitis, it follows that it can be safely used for the less serious types of coughs and colds that we encounter from day to day.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tHow Does it Work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tAlpenkraft was formulated with two distinct categories of herbs. The first was carefully designed with herbs proven to work together to kill bacteria that attack our respiratory organs. The second group of herbs works synergistically with the first group to break up deposits of mucous, thus relieving the respiratory system of the strain of clogged passages, thereby allowing for normal breathing. In short, Alpenkraft hinders the growth of infectious bacteria on the sensitive mucous membranes, preventing the risk of infection. This in turn reduces the susceptibility of coughs, sore throats, bronchitis and influenza. Once the strain of infection has been removed, our body takes over and naturally discharges build up from the mucous membranes.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n","brand":"Salus","offers":[{"title":"Unflavoured","offer_id":42622021632171,"sku":"NA15","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/Salus-Alpenkraft-Herbal-Cough-Syrup-250ml_689def97-f20c-458e-b4c4-2152da970666.jpg?v=1710976180"},{"product_id":"salus-organic-echinacea-juice","title":"Salus Organic Echinacea Juice, 200ml","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eSalus Echinacea Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tUsed in Herbal Medicine to help fight off infections, especially of the upper respiratory tract.  Supportive therapy in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections (e.g. common colds).

It also helps the body to metabolize fats and proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDid you know that vitamin C isn't essential to all animals? However, it is for us, humans. It isn't a necessary component of the diet, at least for all mammals with the exception of guinea pigs, fruit-eating bats, the red-vented bulbul bird, and primates-which includes us. All other species make their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThey do this by converting glucuronic acid derived from glucose into ascorbic acid (C6H8O6). Three enzymes are required to make this conversion; one of these enzymes, or part of the enzyme system, is missing in primates. Irwin Stone proposed, in 1965, that a negative mutation may have occurred in these species so as to lose the ability to produce vitamin C. In primates, this is thought to have occurred in the region of 25 million years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other vitamins, vitamin C is required in large amounts, which could only be supplied by a tropical diet high in fruit and other vegetation. If sufficient vitamin C could be obtained from such a diet, the quantity of glucose normally used to synthesize vitamin C could be channelled towards energy production. This could conceivably have been an advantage for primates or other species.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Jungblut, an early pioneer of vitamin C therapy in the 1930s, discovered that only we primates and guinea pigs were susceptible to scurvy as well as anaphylactic shock, pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheritic intoxication, a poliomyelitis-like viral infection, and a viral form of leukemia; none of the vitamin C-synthesizing laboratory animals had susceptibility to these diseases. This is perhaps one of the first observations that led to the idea that susceptibility to viral infections could be a consequence of vitamin C deficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that almost all species continue to make vitamin C suggests that the amount of vitamin C generally available from the diet is not enough for optimum nutrition, except in exceptional circumstances such as a tropical environment. Under normal circumstances, the daily amount produced, adjusted for comparison to a 70 kg man, is somewhere between 3 000 mg and 15 000 mg, with an average of 5 400 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile a mere 60 mg a day can prevent scurvy, the deficiency disease first identified by Dr. James Lind in 1753, it would be illogical to assume that this is the optimal dose. A survey of doctors in the US found that those who were healthiest consumed at least 250 mg of vitamin C per day. A recent survey has shown that a person's vitamin status is a good predictor of their mortality risk. High blood vitamin C levels indicate a low risk for cardiovascular disease as well as for certain types of cancer and other immune-based diseases. Optimal intakes to reduce the risk of such conditions would appear to be at least 500 mg per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut aren't you simply making expensive urine when you take large amounts of supplements? Dr. Michael Colgan investigated this often-made rebuttal. He investigated how much vitamin C we use by giving increasing daily doses and measuring excretion. Only a quarter of the subjects reached their vitamin C maximum at 1 500 mg a day; more than half required over 2 500 mg a day to reach a level where their body could use no more. Four subjects did not reach their maximum at 5 000 mg. Increasing vitamin C intake from 50 mg to 500 mg tends to double serum vitamin C levels; increasing intake to 5 000 mg a day will double serum levels again.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C protects the bowel, kidneys, and bladder on the way out. As Dr. Michael Colgan points out, the average victim of bowel or bladder cancer in the US spends $26 000 for treatment-mostly to no avail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt is valid to infer from this brief history of evolution, a comparison with other species, and average excretion rates, that those optimal vitamin C levels are probably above 1 000 mg, with plenty of room for individual variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhat about “hard evidence\"? What levels are required to ensure the maximum function of enzymes and body systems dependent on vitamin C? A quick review of some of vitamin C's hundreds of biochemical roles will help us here. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, our intercellular glue that keeps skin, lungs, arteries, the digestive tract, and all organs intact. It is a potent antioxidant protection against free radicals, pollution, carcinogens, heavy metals, and other toxins. It is strongly antiviral and mildly antibacterial. Energy cannot be made in any cell, brain or muscle, without adequate vitamin C. The adrenal glands have a high concentration of vitamin C, which is essential for stress-hormone synthesis. Vitamin C is so central in so many chemical reactions in the body that, without it, life is simply not possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622191239339,"sku":"0027-DiscoVitamart","price":14.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/0027-new-roots-herbal-vitamin-c-crystals-150g-min.jpg?v=1718311748"},{"product_id":"new-roots-vitamin-c8-ascorbate-complex-powder","title":"New Roots Vitamin C8 Ascorbate Complex (Powder)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tNew Roots Vitamin C8 Ascorbate Complex (Powder) Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tVitamin C8 delivers a more complete vitamin C supplement.

Lp(a) binds to injured blood vessels, rapidly delivering the cholesterol needed to regenerate the cell wall. Of course, this is how atherosclerotic plaque is formed. Lysine and proline provide alternate binding sites for Lp(a), reducing its ability to attach to the blood vessels and allowing vitamin C to do its healing work.
