Vitamin C Boosting the Immune System
Vitamin C significantly boosts white blood cell (WBC) production and activity by stimulating their creation, enhancing their function (like killing microbes and moving to infection sites), protecting them from oxidative damage as an antioxidant, and supporting immune cell differentiation, making it crucial for a robust immune defense.
How Vitamin C Supports WBCs:

• Stimulates Production: It helps the body create more WBCs, including lymphocytes (T and B cells) and neutrophils.


• Enhances Function: It improves neutrophil motility (chemotaxis) and their ability to engulf pathogens (phagocytosis).


• Acts as Antioxidant: It protects WBCs from harmful free radicals generated during the immune response, ensuring they function optimally.


• Supports Cell Differentiation: Through epigenetic mechanisms (influencing gene expression), it helps B cells mature into plasma cells to fight infection.


• Accumulates in WBCs: White blood cells concentrate vitamin C at much higher levels than in plasma, indicating its vital role within them.


• Boosts Interferons: It supports the production of interferons, which help cells defend against pathogens.

Key Takeaway:
Adequate Vitamin C ensures your body produces the necessary WBCs and that these cells function effectively to fight off infections, though it might not prevent you from getting sick entirely (you may be deficient in other nutrients) it strengthens your immune response.

The science behind the Vitality C
Formula
The many health benefits of vitamin CVitamin C is essential for proper immune system function because it boosts the production and activity of white blood cells. It also plays a key role in heavy metal detoxification, helping remove lead, mercury, and cadmium from the body. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C protects key molecules in the body — including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and DNA — from free radical attack. It also has the unique ability to recycle “spent” antioxidants like vitamin E. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, is renowned for his research on the cellular health impact of vitamin C doses that far exceed the RDA.
Buffered form is gentle on the stomachVitality C features L-ascorbate, a pH-neutral bufferedform of vitamin C. L-ascorbate is created when ascorbic acid, which does not carry an electrical charge, loses a proton, becoming a negatively charged ion. This ionized form of vitamin C is the active form that participates in biological reactions. It also happens to be less acidic and gentler on the stomach, which makes L-ascorbate ideal for people who want to take large doses of C.
Unique formulation offers high bioavailabilityWhy settle for just one route to absorb vitamin C when you can use four? That’s the beauty of Vitality C.

• The Glucose Route: Vitamin C is naturally absorbed through the same pathway your body uses for sugar. This is the only route most common vitamin C products rely on.


• The Sodium Route: Vitality C contains vitamin C bonded to a sodium molecule, allowing it to also be absorbed through the sodium pathway.


• The Ribose Route: The addition of GMS-Ribose creates a third
  route for vitamin C absorption through the pentose phosphate pathway.


• The Cellular Route: The organic sulfur in GMS is thought to soften cell walls, providing a final absorption route by making it easier for vitamin C to enter cells.
