Description
Vitamin C is the most important
water-soluble antioxidant nutrient and is involved in a wide
variety of biochemical reactions through out the body. Allergy
Research Group® has pioneered the development of buffered vitamin C
products, and continues to offer the purest and least allergenic
vitamin C products available. In addition to its hefty content of
ascorbic acid, our buffered vitamin C also supplies potassium and
the macro minerals calcium and magnesium at approximately one half
the RDI per heaping teaspoon, which may make it desirable for
individuals who do not regularly consume dairy products.*The latest
addition to our Buffered Vitamin Cline is a unique cassava root (of
the potato family) source Buffered Vitamin C, available in both
powder and capsules. Cassava, or Manihot esculent a, is a bushy
South American shrub with long tuberous roots, which are
traditionally eaten like potatoes. Cassava root starch is the
starting material for a multi-step chemical process of
manufacturing ascorbic acid. It is well tolerated by individuals
unable to tolerate other sources of vitamin C.* Both the corn and
cassava root sources are formulated with carbonates of potassium,
calcium and magnesium, giving an acid-alkaline buffering action (pH
7.0 in water) ,potentially improving bowel tolerance and minimizing
hyperacidity.*The human body cannot manufacture vitamin C, as do
most other mammals, so we must rely on food or nutritional
supplements. Vitamin C is stored in tissues throughout the body,
and is especially concentrated in the adrenal glands, where it is
crucial for the production of adrenal hormones involved in
responding to stress.* The body uses vitamin C in immune system
functions including white blood cell production, histamine release
and degradation, the reduction of glutathione, and the metabolism
and protection of several other nutrients.* Vitamin C is involved
in detoxifying heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and
nickel.* It is involved in the production of collagen and elastin,
important connective tissue proteins.*Vitamin C may also support
HDL cholesterol within normal levels, and bone mineral density.*
Allergy Research Group® Buffered Vitamin Chas been used clinically
for offsetting acute hyper sensitivity reactions and the addictive
craving for foods, cigarettes and other withdrawal states from
stimulants and alcohol.* A study at the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic
in San Francisco demonstrated that Buffered Vitamin C could offset
and reduce withdrawal symptoms for stimulants andopiates by 90% in
outpatients, who took a teaspoon of Buffered Vitamin C whenever
they felt a craving.*Calcium is important for skeletal health,
with99% of calcium occurring in the bones and teeth, and the rest
found in cells and body fluids. Calcium is involved in many
functions in the human body, including initiation of muscle
contractions, the blood clotting process, and the regulation of
nutrient and waste product transport through cel lmembranes.* It
also is involved with enzymes that control fat digestion and
metabolism, blood pressure, cholesterol, hormones, and nerve
impulse transmission.* Magnesium is involved in more than 300enzyme
reactions in the human body. It is utilized in the metabolism of
carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and in transmission of nerve
impulses, temperature regulation, detoxifi-cation, and energy
production.* It is a key element for cardiovascular health, as it
helps relax blood vessels, and supports blood pressure within
normal levels. Magnesium is also important for the health of bones
and teeth, particularly the enamel.* Potassium is an electrolyte,
involved in the regulation of the flow of bodily fluids into and
out of cells (intracellular osmosis).* Potassiumis involved with
the regulation of pH balance, blood pressure, and the conversion of
blood sugar into glycogen.*
Suggested
Use
As a
dietary supplement, 1 heaping teaspoon or more in 8 to 12 ounces of
liquid, between meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
As with all vitamin C formulations, as one begins to achieve body
saturation, “bowel tolerance” may be temporarily exceeded and
diarrhea or loose stools may occur. As the high levels of vitamin C
in the tissues become used up, the bowel symptoms should ease.
Ideal for controlling acidity often associated with
hypersensitivity reactions.
