Back in the day I was known as the Rihanna of the Vitamin drip. I was always having them. Once faced with the information that none of us can absorb them really well if you work hard, party hard, stress out hard, the drips were the only way, right? And then it got so time consuming and so expensive. And so hard on the veins. It was around this time that I discovered, in California, Altrient C. This is a gel form of vitamins which comes in a little packet and you can also get Altrient B and Altrient antioxidant and a BSH which is a detoxifier. It’s a revolutionary new gel delivery system – and it’s called Liposomal encapsulation technology which maximises the absorption of the vitamins and nutrients. Gwyneth Paltrow became a champion of Altrient C because of its many amazing attributes. Vitamin C is not only about supporting the immune system and reducing tiredness. It supports collagen formation for healthy joints, bones, skin and gums. So it’s not just about feeling good it’s about looking good too. Our bodies collagen production begins to slow down as we age. Vitamin C plays an essential role in skincare as in anti-skin sagging. Altrient did a test in Princeton and it proved a 61.9 increase in skin firmness and reduction of lines in the women who took part aged 31 to 61.
We’ve known about it for ages but skin care is as much about what we put inside our bodies as on our face and Altrient C is the living proof. But it’s much more than that. For anyone who has a busy, stressed lifestyle, Vitamin C is essential and it is tricky to absorb. Take too much and the body will expel it instantly. Not enough and you suffer from tiredness and are an easy target in flu season. Altrient C comes in a packet and you think it’s going to be powder but it’s actually gel. You drop it into anything you drink your water from – a glass, a bottle, juice. It doesn’t really have much of a taste but it has a lot of a charge.
Gwyneth herself says that taking Vitamin C in high doses wards off viruses and and strengthens immunity. Once I get to my plane seat I take four of five of these bad boys. Lipsomoes are microscopic spheres that have a double layered protective membrane, like the cells in our bodies. These spheres are filled with nutrients. They don’t break down in our digestive system and are seamlessly absorbed on a cellular level. Dr Thomas Levy says that from his experience it absorbs better than an IV injection. From my experience they absorb beautifully and provide the energy and fighting spirit to face the day.
