Altrient, Inc., a Las Vegas Nutritional Supplements Company, Re-Invents Vitamin C

LAS VEGAS, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Vitamin C is God's gift to you. We're just the messengers," stated Cindy Nachman, CEO of Altrient, Inc. "We're on a mission to change the public's perception about vitamin C consumption and its benefits." Altrient™ is a maker of high-performance nutritional supplements based in the Las Vegas area.

Nachman learned about the extended benefits of vitamin C when her husband became seriously ill and his doctors began treating him with massive doses of intravenous vitamin C. She also learned that, although vitamin C is among the most studied nutrients, the numerous indications of its therapeutic value are not widely accepted by the mainstream medical community or known to the general public.

"Most people know that vitamin C is 'good for you' for some reason," Nachman said. "And they think that the vitamin C in their daily glass of orange juice or multivitamin is good enough. But few people know how important vitamin C is to achieving and maintaining optimal health. And fewer still really understand how powerful high doses of vitamin C are and what they can do."

When Nachman's husband, whom she describes as being "at death's door," began to recover, she credited high-dose vitamin C for the success and began searching for a way to continue his treatment without using IVs or injections. She was also determined that anyone should be able to experience the benefits of high-dose vitamin C.

As a result, Nachman's company has developed an innovative way to easily and effectively deliver high doses of vitamin C throughout the body. Altrient's Liposome Encapsulated Delivery (LED) system is based on a technology that, until now, has been used almost exclusively by doctors and researchers to administer a relatively small number of esoteric therapies.

"The vitamin C in our Altrient™ C is encapsulated in microscopic bubbles called liposomes," explained Nachman. "They protect the vitamin C from being degraded by the digestive process and they're so tiny that they pass directly through the intestinal walls and into your bloodstream. Virtually all of the Altrient™ C is absorbed and available to your body no matter how high the dose.

"With ordinary vitamin C, the more you take, the less your body absorbs," Nachman continued. "What doesn't get absorbed can cause some pretty unpleasant intestinal problems and it's eventually eliminated as waste. That's not only a waste of vitamin C, but it's also a big waste of money."

According to Nachman, the liposomes in Altrient™ C are made of a natural substance that actually nourishes the body's cells. These liposomes are strong enough to pass unharmed through the stomach, small enough to slip directly into the bloodstream and smart enough to release the vitamin C, at full-potency, right where the body needs it the most – inside the cells.

"Without question, LED is the most effective method of delivering high-dose oral nutrients, including vitamin C," Nachman stated. "Comparing Altrient™ C to ordinary vitamin C is like comparing a fire hose to a squirt gun. Nothing else even comes close."

The Altrient™ line of high-performance nutritional supplements includes Altrient™ C and Altrient™ ME™. All Altrient™ products use Liposome Encapsulated Delivery to ensure full-dose and full-potency availability. All are backed by a 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee.

"We're on a mission to spread the word about Altrient™ products, especially high-dose vitamin C," Nachman said. "We have secured partnerships with high-quality organizations and individuals that can help us carry our message to new audiences interested in high-performance nutrition."

Altrient™ is now a sponsor of the 2012 Balance Your Life Tour.  Altrient™ is also the proud sponsor of CrossFit Games champion, Cheryl Brost, who continues her quest to become the World's Fittest Woman later this year.
