Are You Taking Vitamin C Wrong? Here’s The Real Way To Build Immunity

Scene: You wake up feeling like you have the “heavy head.” You know… the one where your throat is scratchy AF and your energy levels are in the basement. You groan because you know what’s coming next

Yep. You got hit by the dreaded “sniffle plague.” And you’ll be shedding your humanity for the next THREE DAYS.

You dash to the kitchen, gulp some orange juice, and swallow a cheap-ass store brand Vitamin C tablet.

Fact: Once you’re feeling symptoms, it’s too late for defense.

In the world of performance health & wellness, we like to live OFFENSE. If you’re tired of being sick, tired, and embarrassed by your dull skin—you have to start thinking about Vitamin C like actual armor, instead of an emergency inhaler.

Here’s the science behind why LIVS Vitamin C & Zinc is about to become your new daily uniform.

The Lies Of The “Extra Strength” Vitamin C Pill

What’s the deal? Why doesn’t that “high dose” actually knock your sickness out when you take it?

Here’s the thing: Vitamin C is water-soluble. When you think about your body as a science project, you use what you need and you pee out the rest. Your body doesn’t have a Vitamin C reservoir.

If you’re running on “D-A-Stock” all week then slamming an “Uncle Hardcore” dose of Vit C when you start feeling punk—your body can’t absorb that much C quick enough to fight off a proper viral attack. Instead of playing catch up, you need to keep your daily “Shield” turned on 24/7. By taking a consistent amount daily, you’re ensuring that your white blood cells have what they need to combat stress BEFORE it becomes a symptom.

1: Killer Combo Hack (C + Zinc)

Buy a bottle of Vitamin C at your local drugstore and you think you’re set for life. But Vitamin C isn’t enough to reach your immunity’s maximum potential. You need Zinc.

• Vitamin C is your Infantry: Your little soldiers who are fighting off free radicals and protecting your cells from damage.

• Zinc is your Commanding Officer: It signals your body to produce more white blood cells (and regulates their function). Meaning… it tells your foot soldiers where to go and when to fight.

Hack: Studies show that when paired with Zinc Citrate, your body better absorbs the Vitamin C. Period. Take them both like we do in our Lemon Ice Pop Gummies and you know for a fact that the Vitamin C is getting into your immune system. Without Zinc, those little soldiers are fearless. But they’ve got no direction.

2: Sexy Skin Hack (Collagen Connect)

Sure, Vitamin C helps keep you from getting sick, but did you know it’s also the PRIMARY NUTRIENT used for Collagen Synthesis? Collagen is your body’s “framework.” It holds everything together. It keeps your joints flexible, your digestive track healthy, and your skin glowing.

• Beauty Fact: You can spend all the moolah on $100 moisturizers you want. But if your body doesn’t have enough Vitamin C to build collagen, your skin will NEVER look “sun kissed.”

• Gym Hack: You’re destroying your muscles with Olympic lifting and CrossFit? When you sleep, your body needs C + Zinc to help repair tissue tears and produce new DNA.

3: Iron & Metabolism Hack

You know Vitamin C helps you fight sickness, but did you also know that Zinc is actually a “master nutrient” for your Metabolism? Your body requires Zinc for the activation of over 300 enzymes. Some of these enzymes help your body create new protein from that gym shake you downed while others help you digest food more effectively (say goodbye to muffin top).

• Iron Hack: Are you super low on energy or take an iron supplement? Take your iron WITH your LIVS Vitamin C. Research shows that iron absorption can be increased by 67% if you take it with Vitamin C. That means less iron hangovers and more of it going into your bloodstream.

Why The Store Brand Vitamin C Gummy Won’t Work For You

If you’re popping the $10 bag of gummies from the grocery store, it’s like throwing candy down the toilet.

1. Anti-Gummy #1: Most brands out there use cow gelatin (AKA boiled animal skin and bones). It’s hard for your body to break down, which means you’re simply excreting those nutrients before they even hit your bloodstream.

2. Pro-Gummy (The Pectin Advantage): We use 100% fruit-based pectin. It dissolves instantly in your stomach for 40x faster absorption. Also: it’s Vegan, Halal, and Kosher.

3. Bonus: They actually taste good. Most gummies are chalky rocks. Our Lemon Ice Pop flavor is refreshing. Think of it as the only vitamin you look forward to taking each day.

Build Your “Impenetrable Shield” With This Daily Protocol

Do these 3 things and take control of your wellness:

• Morning Boost: Take 2 gummies each morning. Because they’re fast-dissolving Pectin (not gelatin), they won’t upset your stomach if you take them before breakfast.

• Optimal Performance Stack: Stack with LIVS Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is gasoline. But you gotta have the C & Zinc duo surrounding that engine for protection.

• “Bye Felicia” Extra Boost: If you live in a toxic city or have a “glass office” job where you’re just grinding all day—your body is losing Zinc like crazy. Don’t take a break from your daily dose when it’s STRESS DAY. That’s exactly when you need your shield up.

FAQs

Q: Should I only take these when I am feeling sick, or can I take these daily?

A: These are meant to be taken daily. Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means it cannot be stored in your body. Take one daily to keep immunity levels up and to help your skin produce collagen day after day.

Q: Why Lemon Ice Pop flavor?

A: We wanted a flavor that was light and refreshing. Also easy to gulp down for kids and adults. Trust us, the whole family will be wondering where you’ve been hiding.

Q: Zinc helps with skin too?

A: Yup. Not only is Zinc amazing for immunity, but it’s also great for repairing skin. Zap those annoying bumps that just won’t go away.

Q: Are these only for Adults? Can my kids take these too?

A: NO. These were made with adults and kids (ages 4+) in mind. You take one and they take one. WIN-WIN.
Stop waiting for the symptoms.
