Vitamin A

There are two types of vitamin A, Retinol which comes from animal origin and Beta-Carotene which comes from vegetable sources. It is used to lessen the effects of night blindness, stress. loss of appetite, blood shot eyes, chronic fatigue, high suscptibilitiy of infection, loss of smell, and skin problems. It also serves as a topical aid in the healing of wounds especially burns.
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin. That means it can accumulate in the fatty tissues of the body. The human body rate of absotion or usage is somewhat above 10.000 IU and if taken above this rate, 25.000 or more, it has a tendency of accumulation. This accumulation over a period of time, that may take six months depending on the over usage dosage, can cause certain problems like: bone or skin pain; drying or cracking of lips; increased sensitivity to sunlight; yellow-orange patches on sosle of feet, palms of hand, or skin around nose or lips. Yet if discontinued there are no long lasting effects. Beta-carotene is somewhat more recomended for it stays in the body for a shorter amount of time and is converted to retinol as the body needs it.

Vitamin C
AKA Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C is a crystaline compound, water soluble. of relative short duration in the human sistem. Ir is available in cristaline granules of in tables. The tables are the crustaline granules compressed with binders.
A great deal of controversy surrounds vitamin C. Our speculation is that the controversy has it origin in certain people affirming, which is so, that animals that have the ability to produce on their own, produce so in the amount equivalent opf 5 to 10 grams daily, this mainly proportional to the size of the animal. Apes, which like men do not produce their own vitamin C, eat aa vegetarian diet that supplies them with about 2 to 5 grams daily of vitamin C.
There are very few double blind studies about this vitamin, Therefore most of what is known about this vitamin is mainly anecdotal.
Many people that take 2gr daily on average claim that they do not suffer from colds. Some claim that in the first signs of snifels or a bad feeling in the throat, sign of oncoming cold, they take one or two grams of the vitamin several hours appart for two days and don't get the cold. It is known to us about an individual that took 50 grams of vitamin C daily for over six months to ward off Lyme Disease. Some drug addiction clinics give patients about 85 gr of the vitamin to patients in order to alliviate problems of drug withrawall. Two hospitals in Australia experimented giving AIDS patients upwards of 120gr of vitamin C daily to control the virus. This is only to show that vitamin C can be tolerated in very large quantities. Yet if taken in doses higher than 2 grams daily it is advised that supplemental magnesium be taken to avoid the formation of kidneys stones. People starting to take ;arge doses of vitamin C should take unpasteeurizes yogurt os lactobacllus acidophilus which is the yeast that makes yogurt, this due to the fact that in large doses vitamin C will kill the intestinal flora resulting in diarrea. Furtheremore, it is know that vitamin C inhibits the convertion of the nitrates that are used as preservatives in modern foods to nitrosamine, which is a carcinogenic. Overall, there are several enecdotal evidences that vitamin C is a cancer deterrent and does aid the immune system. And to finalise vitamin C is one of the more powerfull free radical scavanger.
Our supplemental recomended dosage for vitamin C is from 500mg to 5000mg (5gr) daily. In doses of 1gr or larger it is recomended that the granular form be taken which is more economical and free of binders.
Be aware that vitamin C is flushed ou of the system in a very short time, being its half life measured in as little as one hour. Therefore those that decide to take mega doses of vitamin C, which we highly recommend, should do so in regular intervals and if the daily quantity so warrants, as little as three hours appart.
There are no known toxic effects for this vitamin, exept that in large doses supplemental magnesium is to be taken to avoid the formation or uric acid that may cause kidney stones.

Vitamin D
AKA Cholecalciferol, Calciferol, Calcitrial, Viosterol, Ergosterol.

A fat soluble vitamin, as seen earlier, fat soluble vitamins accumulate in the fatty tissues of the body and do not have to be taken daily.
Vitamin D is normally produced in the body by the action of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the skin, transforming cholesterol in calciferol. If not enough sun light is taken due to winter conditions, smog, clothing, night work or other, then supplements are to be taken. Modern times makes the right intake of vitamin D somewhat difficult, specially those on a strict vegetarian diet. Milk is supplemented with about 400mg per quart, about the average daily usage by the body, some food like fish and mushroom contain sufficient amounts of vitamin D.
Vitamin D is essential for the absortion of calcium in the body, deficiencies may lead to osteoporosis and other calcium related problems even heart conditions.
Our supplemental recomented dosage for vitamin D is 200mg daily which would be sufficient for an optimum level for individuals that do not get natural sunlight.
Vitamin D can be toxic at regular doses in excess of 500mg daily. Symptoms are, nausea, general tiredness, headaches, loss of appetite, constipation, or diarrhea. There are no lasting effects once the vitamin is rescinded.

Vitamin E
AKA Tocopherol or Alpha Tocopherol.

Vitamin E is another fat soluble vitamin, but unlike other fat solubles that store in the fatty tissue, vitamin E stores all over the body. In any case it is not necessary to be taken daily.
Studies made with this vitamin indicate tht like vitamin C, it is a powerfull antioxidant and free radical scavanger. Cells need oxigen in order to function, yet this oxygen burning process produces peroxides which can be toxic to cells, Those cells then release free radicals which in turn damage more cells, those in turn release more free radicals and so on. Vitamin E as with vitamin C absorbs those free radical and help expel them from the body. Therefore many consider vitamin E an anti-aging substance. There are anecdotal evidence that people taking large quantities os this vitamin do not get gray hair.
Benefits from vitamin E can be: more endurance or aliviation of fatigue; helping in the dissolution of blood clots; with vitamin A, accelerate de healing of wounds, especially burns, when applied topically; aliviate cramps due to its synergistic effect with oxigen carried by the vascular system. Fats, satured or not and even polyunsaturated fats, react with oxigen producing organic peroxides and solidified fatty acid in body tissue which vitamin E couteracts. Ferrous Sulfate destroys vitamin E, therefore if taking supplemental vitamin E one should take chelated (organic forms of iron) iron supplements.
Our suppplemental recommended dosaga for vitmain E is from 800 to 1200mg daily.
No toxic effects have been observed from the intake os this vitamin.
