One Star Health Energy Drinks



The studies show that around 70 million energy drinks are consumed a day... Yikes, every day :)

And that one of the best ways to regain and maintain PH is to consume more greens.

Most energy drinks on the market today either have entirely too much sugar or are using a sweetening substitute that may not be very good for you either.

The most readily heard complaint from Physicians today is lack of energy by their patients, along with weight gain, and poor digestion.

One Star Health Skin Care Vitamin C



Vitamin C and Skin Care

Vitamin C is often thought of as a wrinkle fighter or an anti-aging agent. The main objective of using a Vitamin C Skin Care, in scientific terms is to increase the structural protein that is found in skin, collagen. The additional benefit of Vitamin C skin care is its countering of free radicals which cause damage to the skin.

Vitamin C skin care faces a major challenge today. This is related to the oxidation tendency of Vitamin C skin care products. On coming in contact with air, the Vitamin C in the Vitamin C skin care products gets oxidized making the Vitamin C skin care product useless rather counter productive. The oxidized Vitamin C turns the color to a brownish so check before buying a Vitamin C skin care product. Even after you buy a Vitamin C skin care product, you need to store it properly and keep checking that it’s still good to use.

The manufacturers of Vitamin C skin care products have tried to deal with this oxidation problem and research on Vitamin C skin care products is on the top of their list. One such method of retaining effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products for a long term is to keep a high concentration at around 10% of Vitamin C. However, this makes the Vitamin C skin care products even more expensive. The other way is to use Vitamin C derivatives like ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. These are not only more stable but also inexpensive. Even though the derivative based products are not as effective as the Vitamin C skin care products, their stability against oxidation is a very desirable feature that makes them very attractive. These are also known to be less irritating too. Not everyone responds to Vitamin C treatments. It’s not a magic potion in any way.
