C Complex Foodstate®

Edible Science is proud to be the only company offering FOODSTATE Cold Fusion™ nutrients in convenient AM and PM packets.

After 40 years of research Vitamin C continues to be one of the most important vitamins for peak health. Edible Science has singled out a form of vitamin c that is as close to food as nature can provide. Because dosages of Vitamin C are the subject of many studies and much controversy, we provide vitamin c in 400mg dosages and let consumers decide optimal amounts. The safety of Vitamin C when it is in food form is unquestioned. It is only synthetic forms of vitamin c that have been the subject of some negative study results.

Cold Fusion™ refers to a patented method for producing whole food supplements utilizing mediums to actually grow the raw materials for each supplement.

Vitamin C-400 mg offers the following benefits over other Vitamin C products: a true biologically active bioflavonoid complex less than 1/10th the acidity compared to the USP ascorbic acid. Naturally buffered, our Vitamin C is easy on your stomach. Lower acidity also reduces the danger of forming kidney stones resulting from high doses of plain (ascorbic acid based) Vitamin C products.

All the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nucleic acids, lipids, and fiber found in the edible portions of citrus fruits are contained in our C-400. Bioavailability and utilization surpassed only by fresh citrus fruit.

What are FoodState Nutrients?

FOODSTATE NUTRIENTS are supplemental nutrition, delivered in a matrix of Vital Food Factors such as carbohydrates, proteins, phytonutrients and thousands of other components that compose food. These Vital Food Factors create enhanced absorption and utilization through a naturally occurring biochemical delivery system that transports nutrients to cells. This superior delivery system is not found in ordinary vitamin and mineral supplements.

These whole food concentrates are produced by two unique processes: Growth and Nutrient Activation. The result is a nutrient-dense, highly bioavailable complex matrix of proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, enzymes, active bioflavonoids and thousands of bio-active phyto-chemicals. The natural nutrients found in whole foods are in all of our formulations.

The main difference between the FoodState Nutrients and regular food concentrates is in the nutrient density. Extensive tests performed by independent researchers and laboratories have consistently shown FoodState Nutrients have better absorption and retention rates compared to other supplements. Scientific research supports what we have always known - Food is the foundation of health and vitality.

When nutrients are whole, with naturally occurring complete proteins and other phyto-nutrients, they are in a form that is readily used by the human physiology. The Vital Food Factors that are essential for carrying out this function are the Protein Chaperones. The body's processing of the nutrients does not require the use of vital energy because Food and FoodState nutrients contain these necessary protein chaperones.

The undeniable fact is that humans are intended to receive their nutrition from food sources.

Repeated attempts have been made to improve on this basic tenet by isolating what is assumed to be the "most valuable fractions" of food (such as ascorbic acid). Research exhibits that these isolated so called "natural" Free-State nutrients contain only a fraction of the beneficial factors that are received from Food and Food State nutrients.

The Inherent Protein Chaperones found in Food and FoodState nutrients are a significant link to the way the body absorbs, transports, stores, and assimilates nutrients. This decisive discovery of the delivery of nutrients to cells was announced last year at Northwestern University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan and confirmed with the awarding of the 1999 Nobel Prize for Physiology. These findings indicate that nutrients are not simply floating around in the body looking for a needy cell. Rather, they are being transported by Protein Chaperones, through coordinate chemistry, to the exact location for utilization within the cell.

One of the Vital Food Factors, Protein Chaperones, are the key delivery mechanisms. They are essential to how nutrients are safely and efficiently transported through the body. The Protein Chaperones are the messengers that carry the nutrients to the specific sites, within the cell, where they are utilized. These chaperones create superior absorption and utilization. Regular nutrients, lacking Protein Chaperones, do not provide the same highly specialized delivery mechanism that enhances the nutrients effectiveness.

Regular vitamins are devoid of co-worker components that provide optimal utilization. Research and identification of these Vital Food Factors has begun to unravel the complexity of food and its use within the body. The discovery of Protein Chaperones has allowed an enhanced understanding of nutrient utilization. No isolated vitamin fraction can provide all of the Vital Food Factors in the proper balance. The exact structure of food is unknown.

There are at least 103,000 known phyto-nutrients (a tomato contains at least 10,000). One isolated fraction of a tomato, such as ascorbic acid, can not be considered as beneficial as the whole tomato. Nutrients Must Have Their Vital Food Factors and Foodstate technology is the only system to preserve them in supplement form.
