Since then, vitamin C's importance has been established: it is available as ascorbic acid in pills, powders, drinks, tablets, and crystals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut only in the past decade have we understood the importance of obtaining vitamin C from plants and food, rather than only from purified ascorbic acid. This natural vitamin C - called the vitamin C complex - includes ascorbic acid but it also contains a wide array of nutrients like bioflavonoids, ascorbigen, rutin, hesperidin, choline, vitamin K tyrosinase and organically bound copper. According to the vitamin C pioneers Dr. Royal Lee and Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi, ascorbic acid is the outer shell of the naturally occurring vitamin C Complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanetary Herbals True To Nature C\u003c\/b\u003e is the vitamin C that nature has provided all along.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLife on the High C's\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppreciation of the benefits of vitamin C began in the 1700s - long before vitamin C was even discovered. It was a time when the British navy traversed the world, exploring the far reaches of the globe and protecting colonies and business interests. The British East India Company filled the country's coffers with gold, yet many sailors got sick or died on long ocean yoyages, from what we now know as a lack of vitamin C. English sailors had diets of ale or cider, dried biscuits, and salted pork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1747, James Lind, a British Royal Navy surgeon, while at sea, provided some crew members with two oranges and one lemon per day, while the others continued with cider. He noted the results and published his findings. It was the first recorded, conclusive study showing the benefits of citrus in preventing many illnesses. Within a few years, limes (then cheaper and more available than lemons or oranges) became standard issue on sea voyages, thus began the term \"limeys\" as a nickname for British sailors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost all plants and animals on earth manufacture their own vitamin C as a natural part of their metabolic processes. But primates, including humans, are among the few animals that are an exception; we must obtain vitamin C from our diets. In ancient times, this was no problem; humans obtained sufficient vitamin C directly from food: fresh meat (particularly organs), raw fruits and vegetables, berries, and nuts. However, with civilization came domestication, food storage, and diets further and further away from natural sources of nutrients. Ever since, humans have suffered from various levels of vitamin C deficiencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVibrant compound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost fruits and vegetables contain some ascorbic acid. \u003cb\u003eTrue To Nature C\u003c\/b\u003e consists of natural ingredients that not only contain ascorbic acid, but further deliver the micronutrients necessary for the full benefits of Vitamin C Complex.
