Probably the best known vitamin in the world, it also posesses utility in the Aloe Vera complex that is not immediately evident. Vitamin C is most frequently proclaimed for its prophylactic uses as a disease preventative. Sizable doses of it are believed to help prevent everything from common colds to strept infections and it is possibly the most broadly acknowledged nutritional treatment for catarrh and colds in the world. Many scientific researchers have worked hard to refute that claim, and in fact, Vitamin C usually fails in isolated laboratory testing. What testing often fails to take into consideration is the apparent catalyzing effects it has in the human system. It works to increase tolerance to colds and it works in the metabolism of enzymes to promote the growth of tissue, healing of wounds, and in the syshtesis of polysaccharides and the formation of colagen. It is an acknowledged infection fighter, and integral in the formation of bones and teeth.
Although there is some Vitamin C already native to the Aloe Vera gel, The COATS Aloe Vera products contain additional natural Vitamin C that is added during the stabilizataion process. This is done for a couple of reasons. First, it acts as an effective antioxidant. Second, it acts as a triggering mechanism to activate other elements such as calcium and folic acid for a more effective utilization of their potentials. As an Antioxidant it works to prevent the decomposition of the Aloe Vera gel.
