Vitamins are a group of organic nutrients, which are essential to regulate the chemical processes that go on in the body. Generally speaking vitamins cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from foods, or supplements.
There are two main groups of vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D and E which can be dissolved in fat and can be stored in the body and water-soluble vitamins which include the B vitamins and vitamin C, that dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. Consequently, water-soluble vitamins need to be replenished on a daily basis.
Lamberts® supplies over 25 single vitamin products including: vitamin A, the individual B vitamins, vitamin C as powder, capsules, tablets and as time release, plus 3 different potencies of vitamin E.

Natural Beta Carotene (15mg)

Our bodies are being continually exposed to ‘free radical’ damage as a result of the environment in which we live. Air pollution and cigarette smoking are the major factors that generate ‘free radicals’, but one of the most important is the effect that sunlight has on our skin.

Vitamin B-50 Complex

Almost every process in the body requires B vitamins. They are needed for the release of energy from food, for a healthy nervous system and they help keep our digestive system working smoothly. They are also needed for healthy skin, hair and nails.
The functions of the B vitamins are synergistic so a deficient intake of one or more of them may cause deficiencies in the others by hindering their utilisation. Consequently, most practitioners prefer to give a B Complex (either on its own or in combination with some of the single B vitamins) when supplementation is long-term.

Folic Acid (400ug)

Folic acid is especially important in foetal development with the Department of Health advising that all women planning a pregnancy should take a supplement of 400µg daily from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy. Yet, despite the importance of folic acid, a recent poll found that only 56 per cent of women aged 15-55 were aware of its benefits and that just 15 per cent took a supplement both when trying for a baby and during the pregnancy.
This nutrient is now also known to help heart health by its role in reducing homocysteine, a harmful chemical present in blood that is linked to heart disease. Indeed one team of researchers has estimated that increasing folic acid intake could reduce the risk of ischaemic heart disease by 16 per cent, deep vein thrombosis by 25 per cent, and stroke by 24 per cent. Still nine out of ten adults consume too little folic acid.

Ester-C

Due to its acidity, vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, may cause slight gastric upset in those with very sensitive stomachs. As patient compliance is always an important consideration of ours, we include Ester-C® in our range of vitamin C products as it is non-acidic (a neutral pH like distilled water) and hence gentle on the stomach.
Evidence suggests that Ester-C® is also more bioavailable than ordinary vitamin C, producing higher vitamin C levels inside cells and furthermore, it appears to stay in the body for longer as less is excreted in the urine.
Each 650mg Ester- C® tablet provides 500mg of vitamin C.

Rutin & Vitamin C (500mg)

Bioflavonoids are naturally occurring, organic plant pigments. One of the richest sources of bioflavonoids is found in the pulp and rind of citrus fruits and vegetables whilst rutin is a bioflavonoid found in the buckwheat plant.
In nature, bioflavonoids occur alongside vitamin C and appear to assist in the availability and use of this vitamin. They also play an important role in maintaining the health of the blood vessels since they support collagen integrity.
Vitamin C is an important anti-oxidant and free radical scavenger needed for tissue repair.
Each tablet supplies a combination of 500mg of vitamin C and 200mg of bioflavonoids (including rutin).

Gentle Vitamin C (500g)

For some people, vitamin C in certain forms may cause gastric upset due to its acidic nature. These Gentle C tablets are particularly gentle on the stomach and therefore ideal for those with delicate digestions. this vitamin C combination is neutralised with calcium to provide a soothing, non-acidic form. The calcium contribution at 77mg is a useful source of this bone-making mineral. Great for those people who require large amounts of vitamin C, but who wish to take it in divided doses.

Vitamin C Time Release (1500mg)

Our daily requirement for vitamin C is higher than for any other water-soluble vitamin. Ideally, vitamin C needs to be taken in small amounts throughout the day and night because it is rapidly lost from the body. However, this is not always convenient which is why Lamberts® have formulated Time Release Vitamin C tablets (the vitamin C is gradually released over 6 hours) making the product longer acting.

Lamberts® Time Release Vitamin C 1500mg tablets also provide a relevant level of citrus bioflavonoids since studies show that vitamin C and bioflavonoids are most effective when taken together.

Natural Vitamin E (250iu)

Vitamin E protects every cell in the body from ‘free radicals’ through its antioxidant properties and this protective role has put vitamin E at the centre of worldwide research. Studies indicate that it may help maintain the health of the heart by protecting polyunsaturated fats in the body from being oxidised into saturated fats and so protect all membranes including those in the lungs and blood vessels.
Lamberts® supplies vitamin E in its natural form of d-alpha tocopherol, as this is the form in which it occurs in foods and as research has confirmed that it has a higher biological activity, and is absorbed and retained more readily by the body than synthetic vitamin E.
The cheaper synthetic form is called dl-alpha tocopherol and is the form most commonly found in many of the ‘high street’ single vitamin E products.
