When it comes to supplements, vitamins and maintaining good health or solving a physical problem with natural vitamin supplements, the question is always the same. How do I start?

Telling you how to start is easy and I will give you that in this article, but first, the bigger question; Are you ready to start? The giant step is the commitment to do what you have to do to keep and maintain your health. If you have taken that giant step, then we are now ready to tell you how to start.

The basic body building block for good health is vitamin C or ascorbic acid. God made every animal on earth with built in vitamin C manufacturing capabilities. Thus, every animal produces the vitamin C it needs every day. If it gets ill, the body has already detected the problem and cranked up the production of Vitamin C.

Man is not so lucky. He not only has a great need for vitamin C, he also, does NOT have the ability to produce his needed vitamin C nor is his body designed to always have an early detection of on coming illness. Therefore, a great majority of people is very deficient in Vitamin C.

To further complicate things, the accepted authorities who set the essential needs of nutrients for the human body have the minimums so low, that the average person following those guide-lines will be deficient most of the time.

I know that everyone is concerned about over dosing or taking toxic levels of nutrients. But this is difficult to do with most natural vitamin supplements. A rule of thumb is that if a nutrient is water soluble (like vitamin c), you cant become toxic or overdoes. Why; because the body uses your water intake to keep washing out any excess. SO THE KEY HERE IS TO DRINK PLEANT OF FLUIDS!

If a nutrient is oil soluble, (like Vit D), that is another story. You can overdose on vitamin D. The good news is that less than 5% of the vitamin supplements needed in your body for essential health are oil or fat soluble.

So, how do you start? You start with the basics. The basic is Vitamin C; not just any vitamin C. How much Vitamin C?

According to research, based upon the amount of vitamin C an animal produces per pound of body weight, humans need to take in about 1,000 mg per 50 lbs weight per day. That means if your weight is between 150-200 lbs, you need 4,000 mg per day. If you begin to get a cold or have other ailments, that will need to be raised significantly.

Vitamin C has a laxative affect on some people. So, how do you take significant amounts of Vitamin C without having runny bowels? You have to find a high quality ascorbate with trace minerals, which are the natural antidote for runny bowels. There are several on the market.

People who take the suggested levels of vitamin C over an extended period of time find that they have very much improved immune systems, heal faster, avoid most colds and flues that are transmitted in usual community activity and if a cold is contacted it is usually shorter in length and severity. Especially is this true when the individual doubles the intake of vitamin C at the onset of the cold or flu.
