Vitamin C Flush
Put Out The Fires In Your Gut
The vitamin C cleanse is a great way to purge harmful toxins from the body, and improve gut health. This is especially important if you’re trying to lose weight because excess body fat retention is always accompanied by chronic gut inflammation.
This problem can potentially lead to even more severe illnesses like allergies, diverticulitis, diabetes, and heart disease. Detoxing the body is where gut repair and weight loss starts.
Why Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water soluble vitamin and powerful anti-oxidant. It helps the body create and repair connective tissue such as, bone, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and skin. It also protects against heart disease by lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and improves iron absorption.
Now let’s talk about how the detox works as a cleanse to speed up fat loss. By taking large doses of vitamin C, you flush your intestinal tract, literally purging all kinds of toxins from your system along with your stool. This is literally like putting out a house fire in your gut.
Loading vitamin C this way can also improve your body’s energy efficiency by recharging your adrenal glands and reducing the levels of a stress hormone called cortisol.Â
How To Do A Vitamin C Cleanse
To do the vitamin C cleanse, you’ll need to get a vitamin C supplement in powder form. This comes in two forms called, ascorbic acid powder and buffered ascorbic acid powder. I recommend getting the buffered version because its more easily absorbed by the body and its much easier on the stomach than non-buffered. The buffered version is mixed with either calcium, magnesium, potassium, or all 3. Those 3 minerals are what’s used for the buffering.
Take 1 gram with 4 ounces of filtered water every 20 – 30 minutes, and keep track of how many grams you’re taking. Keep doing this until your stool becomes watery like diarrhea. That’s the “you’ll know when” part of the cleanse. This should be done in the morning on an empty stomach. The whole process typically takes 2 – 4 hours, but for some people it may take a bit more time.
Make sure to re-hydrate afterwards and consume very nutrient dense foods like leafy greens, fruit, nuts, and seeds, to get the essential vitamins and minerals back into your system.
After doing this cleanse you can continue taking 1 gram of vitamin C every morning, or you can do the vitamin C cleanse every in 2-4 weeks. Doing this can greatly improve your results in fat loss, gut health improvement, and joint health.
Buffered Vitamin C Powder
Vitamin C is essential to your body's production of collegen which is the key component to growing connective tissue, repairing tissue damage, and improving skin firmness. Taking a buffered vitamin C supplement will drastically improve your immmune system, gut health, joint health, muscle recovery, skin elasticity, and fat loss. Take 1-2 grams daily.
