We have seen from the last few newsletters that the flu vaccine is ineffective and clearly has some risks. We have also listed some of the natural alternatives to avoid colds & flu. The most common and powerful natural supplements to protect you and your family from colds, flu, and chronic infections is Vitamin C. But how much do you take and which one?
Now there is an easy, home version test for Vitamin C. You can cheaply and easily test your own Vitamin C levels and know if you are protected during times of stress and/or the cold & flu season.
Vita Chek-C, is an easy to use test strip measure of urine Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), from Teco Diagnostics. They are a great way to tell if the Vitamin C you are taking is effective and the right kind for you. The complex chelating agent with a poly-valent metal ion and indicator dye on the strip change color when adequate levels of Vitamin C are detected. The presence of Vitamin C in the urine causes the color of the strip to change from green to light yellow.
If your test strip stays green, meaning you have no Vitamin C reserves to call upon when you are stressed or exposed to infection, than you need more Vitamin C. When you have a test strip that is bright yellow, this means you have alot of Vitamin C available to meet the challenge your body faces daily, whether toxins or pathogen related.
The bottle of 50 test strips usually cost around $10-15.00, depending on where you buy them. Two possible places to find these test strips are www.naturalhealthyconcepts.com or www.longevityplus.com .
To your Optimal Health and Vitality with a Beautiful Smile.
