BUFFERED VITAMIN C POWDER
Many
physicians are recommending very high doses of vitamin
C supplementation. Up to now Kirkman has offered two forms
of vitamin C, chewable tablets and hypoallergenic capsules
both of them dosed at 250 mg. With doctors now suggesting
from one to three grams daily, the 250 mg. dosage forms
may not be convenient or practical for some individuals.
Kirkman
has therefore developed a buffered vitamin C powder which
is very easy to administer and is great tasting. Our Buffered
Vitamin C is formulated with sodium, potassium and magnesium
ascorbates to produce a buffered, acid balanced product
which is very gentle on the stomach because the normal
high acidity of ascorbic acid is counteracted by the ascorbates.
A small amount of sucralose and natural passion fruit
is added to make the product taste great when dissolved
in water or juice. One quarter of a teaspoon supplies
1100 mg. of vitamin C. This product is part of Kirkman's
Bio-Max™ series, insuring a form of vitamin C which is
formulated to be extremely high in absorption qualities.
Vitamin C is the most popular vitamin supplement
in the United States. The human body does not manufacture
its own vitamin C, therefore dietary sources and supplementation
must be relied on to prevent deficiency.
The
list of health conditions where vitamin C has shown promise
is very long and need not be summarized here. Its value
in the good health of children is extremely important
for the following reasons:
1.
Vitamin C supports the immune system
2. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and possesses
free radical activity
3. Collagen is the main protein substance in the human
body. It literally holds our body together in the form
of tissue, tendons cartilage etc. Vitamin C is essential
in the production of collagen.
Vitamin
C's role in immune system support is one of the key elements
which make it very critical for supplementation in children.
Vitamin C assists white blood cell function, including
antibody levels and responses. It is imperative that growing,
active children not be deficient in this nutrient.
As a dietary supplement use 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon full daily:
Directions
for use: Dissolve powder in water or the beverage of your
choice. Powder dissolves quickly and completely.
