vitamin C

          Vitamin C assists with collagen formation. Collagen is one of the connecting materials that holds the body together. Without this essential nutrient, teeth become loose, gums bleed, joints become tender, eating becomes painful, patients bruise easily and feel miserable.

          Vitamin C is an absolute requirement for the human body and without it many complications occur. This was learned by the British navy when sailors developed scurvy on long sea voyages. The problem was solved in 1795 by supplying British war ships with Vitamin C rich limes. Hence the name for a British sailors, Limies.

          Before Dr. Padolsky became a dentist he was educated as a biochemist. One of the people Dr. Padolsky most admired was another biochemist, Dr. Linus Pauling, who won two Nobel prizes. It makes sense for people to listen to someone who wins a Nobel prize, let alone two! Dr. Pauling was brilliant and wrote the book, " Vitamin C and the Common Cold " where he outlined how to prevent colds with Vitamin C. This aggravated the medical communities around the world and Dr. Pauling was openly attacked. He also went on to claim that Vitamin C could also prevent cancer. Again, attack!

          Dr. Pauling recommended taking two grams each day and increasing the daily intake when the body is challenged.

Dr. Padolsky recommends that his patients take the ester form of Vitamin C.
