Buffered Vitamin C & Mineral Ascorbates with Bioflavonoids

C Force Plus from Prairie Naturals is a synergistically formulated buffered vitamin C supplement that combines mineral and vitamin C ascorbates with bioflavonoids. In addition to pure ascorbic acid, C Force Plus provides mineral ascorbate sources of calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and potassium. Also included in this formula is a biologically active complex of bioflavonoids from rosehips, acerola cherry, quercetin, rutin and isoflavones.

C-Force Plus provides all of the benefits, without any of the disadvantages, of regular vitamin C. The fact of the matter is that individuals who supplement the diet with higher doses of vitamin C run the risk of losing the essential minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and zinc through the urine. It is also quite likely that the body's acid-base will be adversely affected.

C Force Plus counteracts the mineral loss and over-acidity associated with larger doses of vitamin C because it supplies highly bioavailable essential minerals in a formulation designed to optimize the body's acid-base balance. In fact, C Force increases the bioavailability and absorption of vitamin C.

What are the Health Benefits of C-Force Plus?
The health benefits of daily supplementation with Prairie Naturals C Force Plus are numerous and varies. Every single nutrient in C-Force Plus contributes directly to the healthy functioning of the body's physiological systems including: The immune system, the nervous system, the circulatory system, the musculoskeletal system, the endocrine system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the reproductive system, and the excretory system.

Vitamin C from mineral ascorbates (calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium) and ascorbic acid yields a well-absorbed, buffered form of Vitamin C. For everything from the common cold to cancer, researchers around the world have laid claim to Vitamin C as an immune system booster. Drs. Paul Chretien, T.E. Fehniger and Robert Yonomoto, researchers from the National Cancer Institute, showed that 5 grams (5000 mg) of vitamin C daily increased the production of lymphocytes (white blood cells) when the body was threatened by foreign substances.

Due to its undisputed benefits as an antioxidant, Vitamiin C protects all the body's cells and many other nutrients from oxidative damage and free radical production. Free radicals are considered the most lethal culprits in the development of degenerative disease, cancer, and arthritis. Free radical damage has also been linked to the signs and symptoms of premature aging.

Research has shown that Vitamin C promotes the healing of wounds and burns; assists in the formation of red blood cells; prevents hemorrhaging; fights bacterial infections/ reduces the body's allergic reactions; aids in the protection, absorption and metabolism of other nutrients; combats stress by giving nutritional support to the adrenal glands; prevents the formation of cataracts; reduces the risk of gall bladder disease; prevents bleeding gums and bruising; increases energy, improves fertility; supports blood sugar control; removes heavy metals and any toxic substances and drugs from the body.

Bioflavonoids are a nutritional complement to vitamin C. They act as powerful antioxidants and have been shown to prevent heart disease, alleviate inflammation and allergies, strengthen capillaries and blood vessels, prevent bruising, treat hemorrhoids and varicose veins and heal bleeding gums.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and the primary mineral ascorbate in C Force Plus. Calcium and vitamin C are interdependent nutrients, enancing the absorption and effectiveness of the other. Calcium's major functions include: building and maintaining bone and teeth, prevention of osteoporosis;supporting the body's enzyme activity; muscle contractions; heartbeat regulation; release of neurotransmitters; the clotting of blood; protection against high blood pressure; and preventing colon cancer.

Magnesium plays a critical role in maximizing calcium absorption and strengthening bones; energy production potassium/sodium balancing in the cells; strengthening heart function; lowering blood pressure; regulating proper calcium metabolism; relaxing muscles; combating migraine headaches; alleviating stress, PMS and depression.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for the healthy functioning of every cell in the body. Some of the primary functions of zinc include: immune system function; wound healing; sensory functions; sexual function; healthy skin. Regular zinc supplementation protects the prostate gland; prevents male infertility; combats acne; strengthens the immune system; improves prenatal health; combats aging; alleviates rheumatoid arthritis; treats macular degeneration.

Magnanese is a mineral that is primarily involved in blood sugar control, energy metabolism, thyroid hormone functions, and in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) an antioxidant that protects cells. Manganese plays a role in the treatment of strains and sprains, inflammation associated with arthritis, epilepsy and diabetes.

Potassium is an electrolyte mineral that plays a major nutritional role in the prevention of cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure. Potassium acts as a "cellular water pump", preventing and eliminating water retention caused by a sodium-potassium imbalance with the cell. Potassium is also an integral part of healthy muscle and nerve cell function, heart function, kidney and adrenal function. A potassium shortage results in fatigue and muscle weakness.

Who benefits from the use of C-Force Plus?

Since vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that must be provided daily for optimal health, anyone and everyone can benefit from the use of C-Force Plus. In particular, those individuals with digestive sensitivities to acid benefit greatly by the buffered form of vitamin C, provided in C Force Plus since it is less likely to create gas, digestive upset and diarrhea as compared to other sources of vitamin C.

Research shows that normal requirements for vitamin C are greatly increased by smoking, stress, high fever, antiobiotic use, pollution, toxins, aspirin, and other pain relievers, sulfa-drugs, cortisone, and birth control pill.

C Force Plus is free of the common allergens and excipients found in many tablet forms of nutritional supplements.
