Vitamin Power Couple Is Better TOGETHER
Chocolate and peanut butter.
Tomato and mozzarella.
Tonto and the Lone Ranger.
Some things are just better together.
The same is true of nutrients in your body. Alone, they’re good, but using them together can transform them into a Power Couple.
In fact, there’s one nutrient duo that makes a PERFECT pair. Taking them together supercharges their health-promoting, anti-aging capabilities.
Vitamins C and E already have impressive health benefits on their own.
For example, vitamin C helps strengthen your immune system, speeds up wound healing, absorbs iron, and helps maintain healthy bones, cartilage, and teeth.
And vitamin E is no slouch, either. It’s a powerful antioxidant that “gobbles” up free radicals before they damage your cells.
But when you use the two together, it makes each of them step up their game.
Researchers found that when you add vitamin E to C, it boosts C’s effectiveness 8-fold.
This is partially because vitamin E helps stabilize vitamin C, keeping it from breaking down so quickly. The longer it sticks around, the more effective it is.
And while vitamin E is depleted after it does its job of scavenging for free radicals, adding vitamin C to it regenerates the vitamin E.
This allows the same amount of vitamin E to do even MORE of its important work, reducing oxidative stress.
In short, it gives you more BANG for your nutrient BUCK.
But that’s not all. Taking both together can also turn back the clock on your skin since both benefit collagen production.
Vitamin C helps your body produce more collagen, and vitamin E prevents existing collagen from becoming hard and stiff, which leads to skin aging.
The result is younger, firmer-looking skin.
This is precisely why I prefer eating real food to taking individual vitamin supplements. When you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, all of these vital nutrients work to support one another in different ways.
Sure, you can benefit from them individually. But you’ll miss out on a LOT if you leave out their supporting partners.
You’ll find vitamins C and E (and other valuable nutrients) in sunflower seeds, almonds, and red bell peppers.
P.S. Most folks are surprised to learn that their bone and heart health are connected. But if you have weak bones, you’re far more likely to have hardening of the arteries. This powerful PAIR of vitamins can help.
