History of Vitamin C

Between the 15th and 18th centuries AD, many people died due to a nutritional deficiency disease known as scurvy. At that time, no one knew how to prevent it & they did not realize that it was caused by a lack of nutrition.

In 1747, James Lind, a naval surgeon in the British Royal Navy, conducted an experiment during a long sea voyage. He provided oranges to all the sailors on his ship throughout the journey. Remarkably, none of the sailors on his ship fell ill.

In contrast, many thousands on other ships, who didn’t have access to oranges, succumbed to scurvy. Following Lind’s advice, oranges were eventually supplied to sailors on other ships as well.

After consuming oranges regularly, significant health improvements were observed in all the sailors.

This led to a major breakthrough in medical history, as the world began to recognize the importance of a Vitamin C.

The person who later identified and isolated Vitamin C was Albert Szent-Györgyi, who discovered its presence in fruits like Indian gooseberries (Amla), oranges, and lemons. He was the first to prove that Vitamin C could cure scurvy, and for this groundbreaking discovery, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937.

While oranges naturally grow in certain regions, in India, Indian gooseberries (Amla) have been part of the tradition for over 2,000 years. Amla contains seven times more Vitamin C than oranges.

Native Special offers a delightful way to enjoy the goodness of Amla by combining it with honey to create “Honey Amla,” a treat that children will love.

Kadalai Mittai Benefits in Tamil

அதிக அளவு சத்துக்களைக் கொண்ட கடலை மிட்டாய் சிறுவர் முதல் பெரியவர் வரை அனைவருக்கும் உகந்தது. கடலை புரதச் சத்தினை அதிகளவு கொண்டது. அனைத்து பருப்பு வகைகளிலும் புரதம் நிறைந்திருந்தாலும் அவற்றில் கூடவே பித்தமும் சேர்ந்து கொள்வதால் தொடர்ச்சியாக உண்ணும் பொழுது பிற பக்க விளைவுகளை ஏற்படுத்தும். காலையில் பித்தம் அதிகமாக இருந்த போதும் அதனுடன் வெள்ளம் சேர்க்கப் படும் பொழுது கடலைக் கூறிய பித்த சேர்க்கையை சீர் செய்து விடுகிறது. இதுதான் கடலை மிட்டாயின் அனைத்து நன்மைகளுக்குமான அடிப்படை. வெள்ளத்தின் சேர்ப்பில் பித்தம் சீர் செய்யப் படுவதால் தொடர்ச்சியாக கடலை மிட்டாயை உண்பதன் மூலம் எந்த பாதிப்பும் ஏற்படாது. எனவே கடலையும், வெள்ளமும் சேர்ந்து அதி புரதம், இரும்பு, செலினியம் சத்துக்களைக் கொண்ட ஒரு சிறந்த பண்டமாக உருப்பெறுகிறது. கெட்ட கொழுப்பில்லாத கடலை மிட்டாயை விட குழந்தைகளுக்கு சிறந்த இனிப்புப் பண்டம் வேறு இல்லை.
