Liposomal Vitamin C for Improved Absorption

Most ordinary forms of oral Vitamin C – tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and even dietary sources are not metabolised efficiently due to tightly regulated absorption controls in the body. This means that levels of vitamin C in the intestines reaches saturation point at as little as 200mg. In fact, the more we take in the less we absorb. Thus, very little reaches your blood stream let alone the cells where it is needed most. Until recently intravenous delivery of vitamin C has proven to be the most effective route for absorption, but this method is both costly and impractical.

Altrient C offers the perfect solution because of its scientifically proven liposomal delivery method. This powerful form of transportation encapsulates the nutrient in a microscopic phospholipid bubble that carries it directly to the cells, protecting it from the destructive elements of the digestive system. Altrient C is the most effective option for ensuring your body has adequate vitamin C levels.

Doctor's Best Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters may support the stomach's digestive capacity and optimizes digestive efficiency. Betaine HCl may support the stomach's digestive capacity by decreasing gastric pH. Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the body to digest protein-containing foods in the stomach. Pepsin works in conjunction with stomach acid to support protein digestion. Gentian is an herb used to optimize the digestive capacity. Its bitter nature may help to stimulate the body's production of digestive enzymes.

How does it work?
Betaine HCl is the HCl form of Betaine hydrochloride used as a nutrient to supplement the stomach's own production of hydrochloric acid, or stomach acid. Stomach acid is normally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and the function of stomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller fragments and nutrient components. Betaine HCl has been shown to lower gastric pH which could potentially aid in the absorption of nutrients during a period of hypochlorhydria, or a lack of stomach acid. Gentian is an herb that is native to parts of Europe and Asia. The root has been used extensively by traditional herbalists to support digestive function due in large part to its bitter constituents. Various traditional texts classify gentian as a bitter tonic and digestive stimulant, due to its ability to promote the secretion of digestive enzymes. Gentian has been shown to stimulate gastric secretions, as well as promote choleretic activity.

Why should I take Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters?
Supplementation with the combination of nutrients and cofactors present in Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters supports the normal digestive function of the stomach and may help the body maintain efficient nutrient absorption from the foods that we eat. Gentian serves to stimulate digestive secretions in the stomach, priming it to digest the food that we eat, while supplemental Betaine HCl and pepsin provide support to the body's innate production of these digestive factors.
