Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a nutritional compound we hear a lot about. If you start to get a cough or cold, the first piece of advice you’ll receive is “be sure you’re getting enough vitamin C!” In addition to providing immune support, Vitamin C also maintains healthy muscle and skeletal function, keeps your heart healthy and provides strong antioxidant protection. Many of the Vitamin C complexes available over the coutner are synthetic and not very bioavailable. Standard Process has developed a whole food supplement for Vitamin C called Cataplex C.
“Vitamin C is an important nutritional compound essential for supporting the immune, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and hematopoietic systems. Vitamin C is supported in these roles by other ingredients of Cataplex C, including veal bone PMG extract, dried alfalfa juice, echincea, and rice bran. These ingredients work together by providing a variety of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in properly balanced, physiological ratios.” – Cataplex C product detail sheet

Whole Food Philosophy
Often when people are searching for synthetic vitamins at a health food store, they look for the vitamin with the highest amount of nutrient in it (for example, %1000 percent or more of the daily recomended dose) and think this means the vitamin is a good quality. Dr. Royal Lee (the founder of Standard Process) found that the most important thing to consider when buying a vitamin is the source of the nutrient. This whole food philosophy is still held by Standard Process and is the reason for the high quality products they sell.
“Our founder, Dr. Royal Lee challenged the common scientific beliefs by choosing a holistic approach of providing nutrients through whole foods. His goal was to provide nutrients as they are found in nature – in a whole food state where he believed their natural potency and efficacy would be realized. Dr. Lee believed that when nutrients remain intact and are not split from their natural associated synergists – known and unknown – bioactivity is markedly enhanced over isolated nutrients. Following this philosophy, even a small amount of a whole food concentrate will offer enhanced nutritional support, compared to an isolated or fractionated vitamin. Therefore, one should examine the source of nutrients rather than looking at the quantities of individual nutrients on product labels.” – Standard Process
