Pure Vitamin C Powder

Beauty Flash: Vitamin C is essential in the creation of collagen, a protein your body uses to create skin, scar tissue, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. Unfortunately, the skin’s ability to replace damaged collagen diminishes with age, and by eating a diet containing sugar and high glycemic carbs. Sun damage, free radicals, some age-related hormonal changes, stress and smoking also contribute to the damage.

Vitamin C has been used for a long time as a skin rejuvenator. Potentially, vitamin C can benefit skin in two important ways. Firstly, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Adding vitamin C to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. This seriously boosts the integrity of the Dermal-Epidermal Junction. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.

As the collagen begins to degrade, lines and wrinkles form. Vitamin C can help counteract this problem, enabling the skin to grow new collagen-producing cells. This is of major importance in maintaining a youthful face and body because more than a third of the body's protein is collagen. Collagen also makes up 75 percent of our skin.

* Provides a readily available form of Vitamin C to the skin
* Can be used by those with sensitive skin
* Helps to protect skin from the damage caused by free radicals and inflammation
* Continued use will diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
* Dramatic improvement in appearance of skin tone, and texture

Many people find that their face takes on a porcelain glow, the hallmark sign of the power of Vitamin C to dramatically improve the appearance of skin tone and texture. Treatment products we already have now work even better.

Pure Vitamin C Powder to the rescue. Both men and women see significant improvement from regular applications of vitamin C. As we age, the skin also thins, allowing delicate blood vessels to show. Vitamin C can help give the skin a thicker appearance making these vessels and veins less apparent.

There are some complicating circumstances often disregarded by manufacturers. First, vitamin C is relatively unstable (unless it is in a dry form). In the presence of air or other oxidizing agents, vitamin C is easily converted to oxidized forms. The oxidized vitamin C is not only incapable of boosting collagen synthesis or scavenging free radicals but may actually promote free radical formation causing damage to vital molecules such as proteins and DNA. In poorly prepared or poorly stored skin care products, vitamin C may already be oxidized by the time you apply it to your skin. Second, only highly concentrated preparations (10% or more) deliver enough vitamin C to the cells to be topically effective.

What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is used in skin care because it is an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the skin from damage cause by the effects of sun exposure and environmental causes of aging, like smoking or pollution.

The forms of Vitamin C that are used in skin care are: ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, retinyl ascorbate, ascorbyl stearate, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. Ascorbic Acid is the entire Vitamin C molecule, the others are derivatives. No one form has been shown be more effective or better than the other. Vitamin C Skin Care products should be a strength of 0.3 to 10% for optimal effectiveness.

Don’t Forget the SPF!
While vitamin C can protect the skin from UV damage caused by prolonged sun exposure, it does not block UV like sunscreen and should always be used along with a good sunscreen.

Does Everyone Need Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is especially beneficial for hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone - dark spots, sun damage, etc. If you do not have these "issues", you can choose any good anti-oxidant for your anti-aging skin care regimen. If you do have darkened skin areas or issues, I would recommend at least giving Vitamin C a try.

L-Ascorbic Acid, Pure Vitamin C Powder, helps skin look younger by increasing collagen production, preventing free radical damage, lessening hyperpigmentation, strengthening capillary walls, decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and accelerating wound healing.

Our VitaC Crystals anti-aging treatment is full of 99.8% pure Vitamin C powder. Without Vitamin C, humans cannot thrive or survive. While most animals can produce their own vitamin C, people and other primates have lost this ability. This means it’s essential to eat foods rich in vitamin C and take vitamin C supplements as insurance. Vitamin C is a highly effective means of enhancing the skin’s glow while helping to prevent internal enzyme reactions which undermine the skin’s structure.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for good health and wellness. Without vitamin C, people cannot thrive or even survive. While most animals can produce their own vitamin C, humans and other primates (apes, monkeys, lemurs, etc.) have lost this ability. This means that it is essential that we eat foods rich in vitamin C, and take vitamin C supplements as insurance.

Vitamin C performs many different vital functions in the body. Vitamin C also helps protect the fat-soluble vitamins A and E and the fatty acids in cell membranes from oxidation by free radicals. Last but not least, vitamin C also reduces harmful, sub-clinical inflammation throughout the body.

Certain areas of the brain—especially the nucleus accumbens (vital to movement control) and hippocampus (vital to memory)—contain very high concentrations of vitamin C, which decline as we age.

When accompanied by decreases in glutathione, (a powerful tri-peptide anti-oxidant enzyme vital for cellular production of energy and proper immune function), the body is overcome with oxidizing free radicals, causing oxidation-damaged fats (lipids) accumulate in our cells and tissues.

Water-soluble vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
This is the form of vitamin C found in standard vitamin supplements. Although I recommend taking both forms of this precious nutrient, ascorbic acid has some drawbacks. It cannot protect cell membranes, nor can the skin maintain adequate levels when we experience oxidative stress, either from internal sources such as poor diet and stress, or from external sources such as sunlight.

Ascorbic acid can also create a powerful free radical known as a hydroxyl radical, via a Fenton reaction with iron in the body. It is also irritating to skin and unstable when used in topical serum formulations.
