Did you know that 70 to 80 percent of your immunity resides within your gut? The idea of ingesting live bacteria to keep you healthy might seem a bit hard to swallow, but studies show that probiotics can help resolve the uncomfortable effects of bowel and intestinal upset and keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy. Our digestive tract contains millions of beneficial bacteria to help with digestion and protect us from invaders. If the bacteria population becomes depleted, there will not be enough friendly bacteria on the job to keep you healthy – leading to issues like pain, cramping and diarrhoea.

Approximately 100 trillion microorganisms made up of more than 500 species already live in a normal, healthy colon. There is “good” bacteria as well as “bad”, but in order for them to work together, they need to be balanced. Lifestyle choices can throw the balance off – a poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, overuse of antibiotics – all can tip the scales and let bad bacteria take over. Good bacteria patrol the gut (gastrointestinal tract) and keep harmful microorganisms in line by helping with food digestion and nutrient absorption. They also play a role in maintaining a healthy immune system and synthesize vitamins and minerals.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, or live microorganisms, that work by colonizing the small and large intestines and inhibit the growth and activity of harmful organisms. They have been found to stimulate the immune system and enhance the absorption of certain nutrients. Research shows that certain strains can be helpful for restoring a healthy gut flora after the use of antibiotics and in cases of diarrhoea.

B vitamins are a group of eight individual vitamins that together are referred to as B-complex. While they work together to help convert our food into fuel thereby keeping up our energy, they all have specific jobs – supporting healthy skin and hair, working as antioxidants to help to prevent early aging and memory loss, boosting levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, forming red blood cells and maintaining the central nervous system. B vitamins are water soluble, meaning they are not stored in the body and need to be replaced every day.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a multitasking vitamin and antioxidant responsible for the growth and repair of all tissues in the body. It’s first on the scene to heal wounds and form scar tissue, help with the development of bones and teeth, strengthen blood vessel walls and assist with iron absorption and utilization. It primarily helps to produce collagen by adding hydrogen and oxygen to amino acids inside of collagen cells, which helps keep skin firm and prevent wrinkles.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that blocks damage caused by ever-present free radicals in the body. Though they are natural byproducts of oxygen metabolism, free radicals can alter the structure of healthy cells, which can only be neutralized by antioxidants. If free radicals are allowed to build up in the body, they can quicken the aging process and promote the development of serious disease.

We are unable to produce and store vitamin C on our own, so a daily intake of at least 500 mg contained in CanPrev’s Synergy C™ is key to replenishing what we lose through excretion daily. Certain medications like oral contraceptives, plus environmental pollution, smoking and illnesses causing fever and infection can all tap into our vitamin C supply, leaving less for metabolic functions.

Studies show that vitamin C can also play a role in lessening or shortening the duration of common cold symptoms when taken regularly.

Synergy C™ is a premium quality vitamin C formula with a combination of ingredients that together ensure maximum absorbability. It provides 1,000 mg of pH-neutral vitamin C using buffered mineral delivery systems. By binding ascorbic acid to minerals, Synergy C™ promotes maximum absorption of vitamin C. To further enhance absorption and bioavailability, therapeutic dosages of antioxidant-rich bioflavonoids from citrus fruits and sea buckthorn pulp have been added for complete synergy
