Protection against free radicals

Many scientists believe that the root cause of aging, or at least a contributing factor, is the damage caused to the cells of our bodies by highly unstable and reactive atoms known as free radicals. Normally, electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom are in pairs. Oxidative processes in our body, such as converting food to energy, causes some of these atoms to lose an electron, turning them into free radicals…that is, an atom with an upaired electron in its outer ring. As electrons have a strong bias to exist in pairs, rather than singly, the free radical will steal the electron it needs from another normal atom, turning the normal atom into a free radical, and starting a chain reaction of free radical formation. Over time, this process can cause impairments in cell function. If enough damage is cause, the cell can die.

Antioxidants are substances that are able to slow down or break the chain reaction of free radical formation, by their ability to donate a single electron to a free radical without becoming unstable themselves. One of the best antioxidants known is the fat-soluable Vitamin E (tocoferol).

Aside from being a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E plays many other important physiological roles in our metabolism. One of the more important functions is that it is required for the utilizations of many several other vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin K and selenium. In addition to this role, it provides key support for both immune system, and central nervous system function, as well as helping to regulate sexual hormones. It is beneficial for high performance individuals such as athletes, as it supports protein synthesis, and helps delay muscle fatigue.

Vitamin E can be synthesized in a laboratory, but natural sources, such as the vitamin E found in wheat germ, legumes or eggs, tends to be easier for the body to store. CaliVita® Vitamin E, and Mega Vitamin E contain only the freshest, highest-quality natural source vitamin E

ATTENTION!

You should consult with a qualified medical practitioner, before taking any supplement.

Certain medications may reduce absorption of vitamin E. Check with your doctor.

If you suffer from high blood pressure, or have a pending operation or surgery, seek qualified medical advice before taking this product.

Lion Kids C (45mg)

The Strength of the Lion

The very rapid physiological and mental development of children means they have crucial nutritional requirements. An abundant and well-balanced diet of quality food can provide this nutrition, but sometimes there are factors at work which may result in a less than optimum supply of the vital minerals and vitamins kids need at this important stage of their life. At times of reduced parental supervision, such as at school, after school activities, or visiting friends, a child may have a propensity to eat foods which provide poor nutrition such as candy, snacks, junk food, and soft drinks. Then there is the modern prevalence of fast and convenience foods, which may save the parents some time, but may not be as nutritious as a meal prepared at home from scratch. Even for home-cooked meals, what parent hasn’t experienced a small child’s reluctance to eat his or her greens and vegetables? Moreover, over-processing, long periods of storage, and long-distance shipping means many of the ingredients we may use in our cooking do not contain the same level of quality nutrients as years ago.

For these reasons, many parents use dietary supplements to ensure their children are getting all the nutrients they need for proper development. A strong, healthy child performs better at school, both mentally and physically. Lion Kids is an up-to-date formulation containing a complete spectrum of quality vitamins and minerals to help support optimum development of your child. The Lion Kids family includes a version with extra Vitamin C, and a version with extra Vitamin D. Vitamin D plays an important role in the development of healthy bones and teeth, and also participates in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.

All of this in a great tasting, chewable, animal-shaped tablet, that your child will enjoy taking.
ATTENTION!

You should consult with a qualified medical practitioner before using any supplement.

This product should be administered only with adult supervision, and must be kept out of reach of children at all times. A child may mistake it for candy, and, if it is accessible, consume more tablets at a single time than is healthy.

Never exceed the recommended dose.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, (also known as Ascorbic Acid) is a water soluble vitamin that is used by the metabolism in many important ways. It helps activates numerous enzymes, has an important role in cell respiration, and offers protection against stress. It assists in the absorption of iron, and, together with folic acid and vitamin B12, stimulates red blood cell production. It helps support the functioning of the nervous system, and it participates in the structural formation of bone, blood vessels, connective tissue and collagen. It is also an excellent anti-oxidant, helping to protect cells against damage caused by free radicals.

Other than the aforementioned functions, metabolic demand for Vitamin C may be increased by such things as physical activity, smoking, drinking, lack of rest, illness, or medications. As Vitamin C is water soluble, it is not stored in the body, but passes out of the metabolism relatively quickly. CaliVita® Vitamin C products are formulated for timed-release, continuous absorption. thereby ensuring sustained bioavailability

In advanced formulas such as C Plus, Vitamin C is combined with bioflavonoids (sometimes referred to as Vitamin P) which promote absorption and utilization.. Together with vitamin C, bioflavanoids help provide nutritional support for a healthy circulatory system.

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. It activates numerous enzymes, has an important role in cell respiration, and offers protection against stress. It helps the absorption of iron, together with folic acid and vitamin B12 stimulates red blood cell production. By its antioxidant effect supports the healthy functioning of the resistance of the body. It is also necessary for the functioning of the nervous system, it participates in the formation of the structure of the connective tissues, and hereby helps preserve the integrity of skin, gums, bones and cartilage. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) belongs to the group of water soluble vitamins, so it may be emptied from the body soon. Fortunately today there are preparation of continuous absorption (timed release), as for example C 500 and C 1000 offered by us, by which the presence of vitamin C is continuously guaranteed, it is available for the body all the time. In up-to-date formulas – like for example C Plus – vitamin C is complemented by bioflavonoids which promote its absorption. These are often mentioned as vitamin P. Human body is unable to produce bioflavonoids, so they must be ingested with food. Together with vitamin C, they guard and protect the inner structure of capillaries; moreover they have circulation stimulating effects as well. This group of compounds is often used in case of sports injuries as well.
ATTENTION!
Vitamin C is sensitive to heat and light, what should be considered in storing.
Persons with a history of kidney stones seek medical advice before applying the formula!
Excess intake of bioflavonoids may cause diarrhea!
C Plus: contains rose hip powder and bioflavonoids promoting the utilization of vitamin C as well.
