Ascorbic Acid, aka Vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained in the diet by humans. Absence of this vitamin (as seen in ocean-crossing sailors living without fresh produce for several months) brings about scurvy (general weakness, joint pain, tendency to bleed, etc.). These symptoms appear because Vitamin C is a necessary component for collagen formation, one of the primary connective tissue fibers. (Connective tissue forms the fascia that gives muscle shape and strength, tendons, ligaments, bone and cartilage.) Vitamin C is therefore essential for tissue healing, such as fro

As early of the 1950’s, the recognition that the Mediterranean diet, typically high in fish and fat content, was associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk helped initiate study of the beneficial effects of the polyunstaturated fatty acids found in fish, in particular the omega-3(-3) fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)(1,2). Derived from cold water fish, DHA and EPA can be synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid in fish (as is the case with humans), but is mostly generated by the brown and red algae these fish eat(3). - Fish oil is perhaps best know f

The end result is a free flowing powder, high in fat. - - Fla
