Tired of Feeling Run Down?
Vitamin C is One of the Most Popular Nutrients for People of All Ages
Everyone knows that Vitamin C is a critical component to better health and feeling at your tip top. It supports our heart, brain and immune function, and right now immunity is top of the mind with summer vacations, air travel, amusement parks, crowded campgrounds and hotels. Only a few months away we have winter fast approaching, as we deal with more viruses, the always present flu season, common colds and residual COVID-19 infections.
It is essential we maintain our Vitamin C daily allowance of 75 milligrams for women and 90 milligrams for men for whole body health. Notwithstanding all the fruits and vegetables you can find to eat to attain your minimum goal, it is also noteworthy to know there are dietary supplements that you can take to help achieve your recommended daily allowance (“RDA”) just in case your diet falls short. And the reality is that in our fast-paced lifestyle it means that we may need to supplement our health with nutrients and minerals.
Vitamin C is often neglected even though it’s considered one of the most important, fundamental nutrients for overall health and wellness. Vitamin C is required for:
- Collagen production, a protein that forms skin, blood vessels and tissues
- Cells to burn fat for energy
- The uptake of iron, sub-optimal iron metabolism can contribute to fatigue
- Healthy myelin, essential for function of the nervous system
- Heart and lung health
- Tendon and ligament health

I wondered if I would ever feel good again, and I was always run-down with pain from my rheumatoid arthritis, and my overall well-being just wasn’t there. I wished I could bound out of bed in the morning and feel like I once did. Well…for the rest of the story…. I was speaking with an elderly couple this past week about three nutrients I was taking and it hit me, I’M FEELING BETTER EACH DAY.
My daily combo is pH Salts, Camu Camu Vitamin C powder and turmeric.
I mentioned pH Salts in a previous blog, a proprietary blend of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium alkalizing mineral salts. The latest mentions are Camu Camu Vitamin C and turmeric.
My friends here in southern California as well as across the United States who have been taking Camu Camu say “the immune system benefits from taking this Vitamin C supplement are far superior to any other supplements on the market today.” In the same breath, they caution not to be taking any synthetic Vitamin C which you may find in various health and vitamin shoppes. “It clearly helps with influenza and inflammation, and at the earliest sign of feeling ill mix ½ tsp of this fruit powder in juice, sweet tea, water or whatever preference you choose.
“Camu Camu is the natural choice for Vitamin C because it is a food-state nutrient, not a synthetic chemical look a-like. Camu Camu’s minerals and amino acids naturally facilitate complete absorption and assimilation of this exceptional Vitamin C food.”
Am I a believer in nutrient supplements. You better believe it!!!!!!! But not just anything that rolls off the shelf. The problem with the public at large today is they purchase vitamins without doing any sort of research and due diligence as to their makeup and effectiveness. They end up obtaining vitamins that are largely comprised of excipients, unwanted additives to the vitamin complex that do little to benefit the consumer.
BoomerGal lost our original source of Camu Camu and I mentioned that we would find another product to offer. And before I would even share it with you, I tried it myself for months to make certain it was as good as the more expensive products. And it is. And it’s sold on Amazon.
