Double Your Immune Power!
Colostrum and vitamin C both promote a healthy immune system and share many of the same benefits. Terra North Vitamin C Chewables provide 1410 mg of colostrum and 159 mg of vitamin C per serving. That’s more than twice the U.S. FDA and RDA recommended daily intake of vitamin C (1).
Some of the many benefits of vitamin C include:
- Growth and repair of tissues – Vitamin C helps the body manufacture collagen, which is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth (2).
- Healthy skin – Collagen is also critical to the formation and ongoing health of skin (1). Studies have found vitamin C, applied topically, helps aged skin feel less rough and stay hydrated, decreasing the appearance of lines and wrinkles (3).
- Immune system boost - Vitamin C increases white blood cell production and is important to immune system balance. Studies have associated low vitamin C levels to increased risk for infection (1).
- Neutralizing free radicals - Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants, which are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals like aging and various health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Antioxidants also help reduce damage to the body caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants such as cigarette smoke (2).
- Cataract prevention - In a 10-year Tufts University study, subjects who consumed more than 250 mg of the vitamin daily had an 83 percent lower chance of developing cataracts (3).
- Diabetes control - Vitamin C supplementation may assist diabetics in controlling blood sugar levels and improving metabolism (1).
- Gallbladder disease prevention - A study of over 13,000 subjects found that women who took daily vitamin C supplements were 34% less likely to contract gallbladder disease and gallstones (1).
