Buffered vitamin C for a gentle approach to your sensitive patients. Combined with bioflavonoids for optimal bioavailability and utilization in the body. Contains a synergistic combination of citrus flavonoids, sea buckthorn, and rutin to maximize the absorption and recycling of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is delivered in a pH-neutral blend using a buffered mineral delivery system. C-Matrix contains a combination of buffered vitamin C and bioflavonoids that provide well-absorbed and balanced antioxidant support. By binding ascorbic acid to minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium, C-Matrix offers a pH-neutral product that is gentle enough for the digestive tract. The addition of various bioflavonoids allows for better utilization of vitamin C in the body. Bioflavonoids are plant compounds found in citrus fruits, apples, tea, and many other foods with health-promoting properties. Research has shown that they have powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antithrombotic, and antioxidant properties, capable of inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. When combined with vitamin C, their health-promoting abilities are even greater. Bioflavonoids, including rutin, work synergistically with vitamin C to improve the integrity of blood vessels, capillaries, and the cardiovascular system as a whole. Specifically, bioflavonoids inhibit the oxidation of vitamin C, thus sparing the crucial nutrient. Evidence of this ability to "recycle" vitamin C and strengthen blood vessels can be seen in animal studies, where the addition of flavonoids to a vitamin C-deficient population resulted in a significant decrease in bleeding. Two capsules of C-Matrix provide 1000 mg of pure ascorbic acid with therapeutic amounts of citrus bioflavonoids, rutin, and sea buckthorn extract for optimal absorption and bioavailability.
