I am doctor 10 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:46.479 Amanda Williams, Director of Science at Invite Health. Happy Saturday 11 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.000 morning to everyone. I hope that your weekend is off 12 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.840 to a great start. I'm hoping I'll make it a 13 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.359 little bit better because I've got some exciting news to 14 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.560 share with you this morning before I turn it over 15 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.920 to Jerry Hickey, who will be with us from eight 16 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.120 until nine this morning. So I'm happy that i have 17 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.920 very exciting things to share with you. But I'm a 18 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.400 little sad too because there's only one more day left 19 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:17.840 of the Tour de France. So today and tomorrow that's 20 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.640 been very exciting. I just absolutely love the Tour de France. 21 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.319 As you all know, so I'm a sports fanatic. I 22 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.159 just I love for the most part, all sports and 23 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.640 the I've just been completely just wrapped into to the 24 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.560 tour this year. But it's just it's beautiful. I encourage 25 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.120 you if you've never watched the tour, start watching it. 26 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.760 You know it's twenty one legs, so twenty one different 27 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.640 days of racing is just very very exciting. Now onto 28 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.799 the exciting news for me to share with you today, 29 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.519 and that is that we have two, yes, two brand 30 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:06.200 new formulations to share with you. And I am incredibly 31 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.280 excited about this because one of those products I have 32 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.280 been working on for a couple of years now because 33 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.039 the technology and the delivery system is very unique for 34 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.039 vitamin C and so we have our vitamin C beadlet 35 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.840 now available. So I'm going to get into all the 36 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.759 science on this product, why it's so unique, Why you 37 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.000 know it took a lot of energy in terms of 38 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.960 research and development and testing and looking at blood levels 39 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.919 to assure that you know, this is going to be 40 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.360 a high amount of vitamin C that makes its way 41 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.159 into your system and stays there. And there's reasons why 42 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.120 you want to make sure that you're getting adequate vitamin C. 43 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.800 We can just look at, you know, micro nutrient deficiencies 44 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.800 and insufficiencies that occur in this country, and a lot 45 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.080 of times I zero in on things like vitamin D 46 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.800 as a perfect example in magnesium, knowing that ninety percent 47 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.280 of Americans don't get enough vitamin D every day and 48 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.280 magnesium is usually around seventy five percent of Americans don't 49 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.520 get adequate magnesium intake. But don't kid yourself if you 50 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.479 think that you're fully getting enough vitamin C on a 51 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:34.000 consistent basis, because we know that roughly just about half 52 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:39.319 of Americans do not get enough vitamin C. And that's 53 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.599 a problem because if you have low vitamin C levels, 54 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.879 that can lead to a lot of issues. Oftentimes, when 55 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.520 we're thinking of vitamin C, we stay in that lane 56 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.319 of the immune system. Yet we have to realize that 57 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.400 vitamin C is so much more beyond that. And so 58 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.599 that's one of the things that I want to discuss 59 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.800 in some detail today because I think it's one of 60 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.879 those areas where the more you understand the true function 61 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.680 of vitamin C in the body, the more you'll realize, 62 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.000 oh goodness, I better make sure i'm getting enough vitamin 63 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.959 C each and every single day. So what is you know, 64 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.959 vitamin C, Well, it's a it's a vitamin. And many 65 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.000 times people think of citrus, fruits and oranges, and I'm 66 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.759 down here in Florida, so you know, they're always trying 67 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.160 to talk about orange juice and vitamin C. Do I 68 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:36.680 advise that? Absolutely not. If you're going to try to, 69 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.800 you know, get your vitamin C from an orange, then 70 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.839 eat the orange and at least you're getting the fiber 71 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.480 from that. But I'm not a big fan of basically 72 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:52.800 sugar water, which is what the majority of orange juices are. 73 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.240 But we know that vitamin C in particular, if you 74 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.360 look years ago and you look at scurvy, that's usually 75 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.560 what people correlate like if you don't have enough vitamin C, 76 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.560 that that deficiency can lead to that condition of scurvy. 77 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.480 And then we look at the immune system, and most 78 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.000 folks correlate vitamin C with immune health. We definitely need 79 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.399 to have vitamin C. We know if we have low 80 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.000 vitamin C levels in our system, especially as we're growing older, 81 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.680 this can kind of accelerate the whole immunosinescence, which is 82 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.639 the the technical name let's just put it out there 83 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.519 for the aging of the immune system, we don't want 84 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.040 that to happen. We don't want our immune system to 85 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.319 take a back seat because we just don't have enough 86 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.800 vitamin C, just the same as we don't want our 87 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.959 immune system to take a back seat and put us, 88 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.439 you know, at higher risk of developing a cold or 89 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.439 you know, catching the flu, getting the ammonia because we 90 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.720 don't have enough vitamin D when these things are very 91 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.720 easy for us to counteract, combat and correct. So we 92 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.439 look at vitamin C as being a very powerful antioxidant 93 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.639 helps to protect all of our cells from oxidative stress. 94 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.439 And this is where the science on vitamin C really 95 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:27.079 starts to get quite fascinating, is the best way that 96 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.720 I would put this, because you start to look at 97 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.519 the impact that vitamin C has on blood glucose, on 98 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.439 bone health, on eyehealth, on cardiovascular health, on oral health. 99 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.839 So when you're looking at periodontal disease, and we can 100 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.480 see that when you're looking at heart disease. As an example, 101 00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.399 heart disease, we have to look at oxidative stress and 102 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.639 inflammation as being the driving cause for this. Well, we 103 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.480 know that vitamin C plays a really really critical role 104 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.759 in improving our endothelial function, which is the lining of 105 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.360 your blood vessels. This is what controls blood flow and 106 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:24.319 your blood pressure. So if we don't have enough vitamin C, well, 107 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.199 then our blood vessel linings are more prone to this 108 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.920 kind of succumbing to free radical damage, and then we'll 109 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.879 have excessive amounts of inflammation, and then this can lead 110 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.639 to heart disease, so we don't want them. We can 111 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.040 see where vitamin C plays an incredibly important role in 112 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:52.759 bone health and osteopenia osteoporosis. We have to have vitamin 113 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:59.079 C for normal formation of bone. If you don't, then 114 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.120 this is going to in the bones. So these are 115 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.519 the reasons why we have to look at vitamin C 116 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.399 and say it's not just for you know, trying to 117 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.160 reduce our risk of catching the common cold, which if 118 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.399 that's all it was doing, then that's a wonderful thing. 119 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.079 But we have to look outside of that box and say, 120 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.480 oh my goodness, I need to have this for my 121 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.519 bone health. I have to have this for my cardiovascular health. 122 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.519 I have to have it for blood glucose regulation. And 123 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:31.279 you start to look at all of the different scientific 124 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.960 studies out there. There was one that came out from 125 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:39.440 the British Medical Journal, their cardiovascular wing of that journal, 126 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.519 and this was roughly about ten years ago. I found 127 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.200 it incredibly fascinating because they were looking at vitamin C 128 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.960 for preventing atrial fibrillation. Now, just pause for a moment, 129 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.919 because I've talked about APHID before. This is the abnormal 130 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.720 heart rhythm that happens. Well, we know what the standard 131 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.159 treatment is here in the United States. Right If you 132 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.600 know someone who has aphib and you talk to them 133 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.360 about that, they'll say, oh, yeah, my doctor put me 134 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.120 on a blood thinner. I'm on eloquis or I'm on 135 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:13.039 you know, Perdexa, I'm on Zerelto, and I'm going to 136 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.559 be on this for the rest of my life. Because 137 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.039 they're concerned that because I have APHIB I am more 138 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.559 prone to a heart attack or a stroke. So why 139 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.240 is it that they're looking at vitamin C as a 140 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:33.840 preventive measure over in the UK. Well, let's think about 141 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.679 this just for a moment. Let's think about that ox 142 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:40.320 state of stress. Let's think about the antioxidant value of 143 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:45.279 vitamin C and how beneficial that can be. So they 144 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.120 started to look at different trials that had been conducted 145 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.200 with vitamin C supplementation, and they were assessing all of 146 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.639 the different data points and through this meta analysis that's 147 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.360 what it's called, when you populate all these different studies together, 148 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:08.240 they could see that vitamin C was preventing postop A 149 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.879 trail fibrillations. So they were saying, okay, well if we 150 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:12.720 give this person they went in and had a surgery, 151 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.759 we gave them some vitamin C afterwards to help with 152 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.200 wound healings. We know we have to have vitamin C 153 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.639 for the crosslinking of our collagen. Se even if you're 154 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.559 thinking about skin health or tendons your bones. This is 155 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.919 where vitamin C plays this really critical role because you 156 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.600 have to have vitamin C in order for collagen to 157 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.360 cross link those fibers, those collagen fibers. And so we're 158 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.679 looking at this and you say, Okay, someone goes in, 159 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.000 they have a surgery, they do an incision, they give 160 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.399 them some vitamin C. And this is more common in 161 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.360 other countries, not here in the US, where they'll give 162 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.240 people things like vitamin C and zinc postoperatively for healing, 163 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.799 but here they clearly don't really do that. But they 164 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.440 were looking at this and they said, this is really fascinating. 165 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.720 In all all of these areas where vitamin C was 166 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:08.639 given to patients postoperatively, we had a significant shortening of 167 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.279 the duration of the hospital stay, so they were less 168 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:18.480 prone to getting any type of virus or bacterial infection postop. 169 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.080 But what's really fascinating is that we're not seeing this 170 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:28.440 atrial fibrillation, which is actually quite common postop. So what 171 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.480 is this meaning, Well, we start to look at those 172 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:37.200 functions once again of vitamin C. So that caught my 173 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:42.120 eye many years ago, and we can see a direct correlation. 174 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.480 In the Journal of Nutrients, they looked at vitamin C 175 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.639 levels in patients with and without cardiovascular disease, and once 176 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.440 again they could start to draw upon these conclusions that 177 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.919 if you have low vitamin C levels, this is going 178 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.120 to worsen cardiovascular conditions. And for those who did not 179 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.919 have cardiovascular disease, they were more prone to the development 180 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.720 because once again we're looking at that role of oxidative 181 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.200 stress and inflammation that occurs within the circulatory system. So 182 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.720 this is you know, study after study the Texas Heart 183 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:27.279 Institute they came out with, you know, really some interesting 184 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.879 research looking once again at vitamin C and a trial fibrillation, 185 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.799 and they said, you know, Linus Palling many many years 186 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:41.440 ago really emphasized the importance of vitamin C in the 187 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.840 human body and why we have to have vitamin C 188 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.919 for all of these critical functions. And when you're looking 189 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.120 at you know, a good forty percent of individuals who 190 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:56.240 develop a trial fibrillation, especially post any type of cardiac surgery, 191 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.399 and if we look at their serum vitamin C levels 192 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.960 and there's this direct correlation to worsening of a fib 193 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.200 this is a problem that we can easily combat with 194 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:13.799 supplementation of vitamin C. So this is why I'm super 195 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.200 excited about this product because I understand the role of 196 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:22.000 vitamin C. I understand it's well beyond that of just 197 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.840 making sure we don't get the common cold or to 198 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:30.080 fight off the seasonal influenza, for example. This is so 199 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.200 important for folks who are dealing with conditions like heart disease, 200 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.480 high blood pressure. If you have high cholesterol, we want 201 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.960 to make sure that our cholesterol particles do not become oxidized. 202 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.240 It's those oxidized LDL so that's your low density lipoproteins, 203 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.559 that's the quote unquote bad cholesterol. We want to make 204 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.159 sure that those do not become oxidized. Hence, this is 205 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.480 where your vitamin C comes into play. Once again. We 206 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.639 can look at that age related macular degeneration and the 207 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.759 role that vitamin C is playing in supporting the health 208 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.159 of your retinal cells in the optic nerve. There are 209 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.360 extensive studies that I mean, you can even just look 210 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.120 at the Arid's study from all those years ago, but 211 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:23.159 there are extensive studies in the world of ophthalmology looking 212 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:28.559 at the impact that vitamin C has on many different 213 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:36.440 aspects of visual health, including combating cataracts formation. So these 214 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.799 are all known things. But yet if you ask someone today, 215 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.600 if you go out today after this show and you say, hey, 216 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.279 what do you know about vitamin C? The common answer 217 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.799 is going to say immune health. It's good if you 218 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.360 don't want to catch a cold. But then you can say, well, 219 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.519 did you also know it's great for your bone health 220 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.960 and for maintaining bone density. It's excellent for your vision, 221 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.799 it's great for your heart and for all of your 222 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.039 blood vessels. And of course it's wonderful for your skin 223 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.519 because it helps with that cross linking of collagen. So 224 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.759 we start to line up all of the true functions 225 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.960 of vitamin C and we look at all of the 226 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.879 studies that have been done on how vitamin C influences 227 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:30.279 conditions like osteoporosis and why it's so important that we 228 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.279 have and we maintain healthy serum level. So I go 229 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.600 back to the point that we know that about fifty 230 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.799 percent of Americans on a regular basis do not have 231 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.360 adequate amounts of vitamin C. So what is our solution 232 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.120 at invite Health. While we came up with a sustained 233 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:55.960 release vitamin C. So it's really unique in its delivery system. 234 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:01.039 So it basically it's releasing very slight out of the 235 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.600 capsule so that your steady state of vitamin C at 236 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:09.919 that really powerful ascorbic acid stays nice and level. And 237 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.720 so you take your capsule and it is a beadlet, 238 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.440 so they're really neat looking. So when you go into 239 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.720 the store you order these up, it is a clear capsule. 240 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.879 There's these tiny little white vitamin C beadlets inside of 241 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.320 that capsule. So you take that capsule and then we 242 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.840 could test your blood level, say one hour in, we 243 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.360 can test your blood level four hours in or eight 244 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.399 hours in and we're going to see this nice steady 245 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.360 state of a scorbic acid. Because remember, vitamin C is 246 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:43.120 water soluble. If you take say a standard vitamin C, 247 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.159 oftentimes your body's going to utilize what it needs in 248 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.559 that moment and then the rest can get processed out. 249 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.480 So we want to maintain this because we're thinking long term. 250 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.080 We're thinking, you want to help our bones, want to 251 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.080 help our heart, want to help our eyes. So we 252 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:02.799 have this nice sustained really vitamin C in this beadlet 253 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.599 technology that we've been working on for a couple of 254 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.319 years now. This is a great way for you to 255 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:14.480 maintain healthy levels of that vitamin C for yourself every 256 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:19.119 single day, and so you take one of the capsules 257 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.039 per day. Now, are there reasons why perhaps you would 258 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.039 take more than one, of course, but this is when 259 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:27.079 you want to talk to one of our nutritional experts 260 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:31.920 and say, this is my current health concerns. How should 261 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:36.480 I be taking the brand new Vitality Plus. That's the 262 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.960 name of it. It's called Vitality Plus. It's a beadlet. 263 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.519 So the reason why I say Vitality plus badlet is 264 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.160 because we also have our brand new Vitality Plus gummy 265 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.720 that's available, so we hear your demands when it comes 266 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.160 to gummies.

The gummies are available in the stores. 304 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:17.559 The beadlets are coming to the stores by next early 305 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:23.720 next week. We do have both at our main warehouse, 306 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.720 so you can give us a call after the show 307 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.359 and they will be able to get those products out 308 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:35.279 to you today. So Vitality plus C one thousand is 309 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.480 our gummy. Vitality plus C as Invitamin C five hundred 310 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.200 that is our beadlet. So and I think they you'll 311 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.480 really find for those who have been using Invite Health 312 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.880 formulations for many years. We actually got very creative with 313 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:55.279 our label on the Vitality plus C five hundred and 314 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.359 one thousand as well. So now let me pivot a 315 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.200 little bit too, so we know we have our sustained release. 316 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.519 So this is the excellent choice if we have concerns 317 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.640 with heart health, eye health. Maybe you you know, know 318 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.240 that you have a tinge of macular degeneration, or you're 319 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:19.680 dealing with some cataract formation. Taking that Vitality plus beadlet. 320 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:25.039 Taking one to two of those capsules per day really 321 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.359 really helpful. Now here's the other thing about this. I 322 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.480 want to mention this before I move on to the gummy. 323 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.920 People will ask, you know, oh, I'm sensitive to vitamin 324 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.880 C and I've had you know, if I take high 325 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.880 dose vitamin C like five hundred milligrams. Sometimes that's rough 326 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.799 on my stomach because vitamin C we're dealing with ascorbic acid. 327 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.680 Am I going to experience this with these beadlets? No? 328 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.319 And this is another one of those fun little facts 329 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:56.200 about this beadlet technology, this sustained release technology. You're getting 330 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.559 that direct ascorbic acid, but because it's releasing at this 331 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:06.960 time interval, it's not going to create those issues in 332 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.400 terms of GI upset or any type of GI discomfort. 333 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.680 So this is actually a preferred form, even over a 334 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:19.000 buffered vitamin C. So when people take a buffered vitamin C, 335 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.480 there's like a calcium that's hooked to that to try 336 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.880 and protect the lining of the stomach to you know, 337 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.000 really limit the amount of GI upset that could happen. 338 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.000 So we have these tiny little beadlets that are inside 339 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.319 of that clear vegetarian capsule, and it helps to maintain 340 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.279 that steady amount of vitamin C because it's releasing slowly. 341 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:46.400 The absorption rate is superior to a standard vitamin C 342 00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:50.680 and it's easy on the stomach, so it's even superior 343 00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:55.160 to a buffered form of vitamin C. So excellent for 344 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.920 all aspects of why we need to have vitamin C. 345 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.680 Pivot over to the Vitality plus C one thousand gummy. 346 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:10.680 Now these are gelatin free gummies. It's a citrus pectin base. 347 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:16.440 There are orange extracts in this. There are fruit extracts 348 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:21.440 to really heighten the antioxidant power, and it also contains 349 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:27.440 glutamine and ginger in this, so it's a very advanced gummy. 350 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:29.519 So you have a little bit of glutamine, a little 351 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.960 bit of ginger, which aids for digestion. Remember, glutamine is 352 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.960 a key amino acid that helps with kind of ceiling 353 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.160 in everything within the digestive track. So if someone's dealing 354 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:46.440 with leaky gut, for example, or irritable bowel, having some 355 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.400 additional glutamine each day can be very very helpful. We 356 00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.960 know that when the body's under stress, your glutamine levels 357 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.240 will start to go down. So now we have this 358 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.920 gummy that contains glutamine, that contains ginger. We have added 359 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:05.440 minerals in this to really enhance the immune benefits, and 360 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:11.240 they taste really wonderful too. So each one of the 361 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.839 gummies is yielding you three hundred and thirty three milligrams 362 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:19.400 of vitamin C. So the reason why it's called Vitality 363 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.599 plus one thousand is because a serving size is considered 364 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.200 three gummies, which would get you to that thousand milligram 365 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.079 amount of vitamin C. Now, can you take all three 366 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:31.640 at the same time? And are you going to be 367 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.039 able to absorb those? Yes, because remember it's a gummy 368 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.200 and it's in that pect in forms of the fiber offsetset, 369 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.359 so it slows the rate at which that vitamin C 370 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.480 is being absorbed. So you're gonna once again get a 371 00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:47.240 really nice steady state of that ascorbic acid going into 372 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.519 your system.
