| Symptom: Vitamin C |
Vitamin C can be fed to maintain collagen integrity and promote healthy muscle tissue.
Super C - "Ester C" - An organic compound formed when an acid and an alcohol combine and release water. Esters formed from carboxylic acids are the most common, and have the general formula RCOOR', where R and R' are organic radicals. Esters formed from simple hydrocarbon groups are colorless, volatile liquids with pleasant aromas and create the fragrances and flavors of many flowers and fruits. They are also used as food flavorings. Larger esters, formed from long-chain carboxylic acids, commonly occur as animal and vegetable fats, oils, and waxes. Esters have a wide range of uses in industry.
Ref: American Psychological Association (APA): ester. (n.d.). The American Heritage® Science Dictionary. Retrieved July 03, 2008, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ester
Where did this come from?
Arizona physician Edwin Goertz, MD, discovered Ester-C® 20 years ago while seeking help for his arthritic wife. Goertz’s spouse couldn’t tolerate traditional forms of vitamin C because it upset her stomach, so Goertz, an inventor of sorts, mixed water, ascorbic acid and calcium ascorbate to come up with a non-acidic alternative he dubbed Ester-C.
Chris Meletis says: “I use it when patients need full Vitamin C coverage as an antioxidant and/or for immune system support, yet cannot tolerate the normal quantity of pills that plain old vitamin C would require. I’m working on the premise that Ester-C has increased viability or potency—a little bit goes a little further.”
Ref: Better Nutrition Magazine - Aug 1, 2002 http://www.betternutrition.com/document/272
Why is it so important?
It also has another name to go with Ester C, "Calcium ascorbate" which is one of at least eight other ascorbates, where each of these base chemicals are found in Ascorbic Acid or the route of traditional Vitamin C.
It also has been said that this "Patented Super C Vitamin, Ester C" does four times more beneficial things for the host than traditional Vitamin C with the same dosage used absorbed by any animal! It works well with all stomachs, requardless if human or beast with no upsets or uneasiness with its non-acidic Vitamin C complex.
Ester-C many benefits along with it's included Citrus Bioflavonoids are:
A. delivers advanced antioxidant properties througout the host;
B. stimulates the auto immune system of the host body;
C. cause no stomach upset or digestive problems of regular vitamin C;
D. and it can be found with Vitamin C metabolites including all esential minerals and many more.
This version of Vitamin C is found in all of our Acti-Flex Products used in arthritis pain treatment in dogs and horses today!

| Symptom: Vitamin E & SE |

TOP
|
| Symptom: What are Vitamins? |
All living things, plant or animal, need vitamins for health, growth and reproduction. Yet vitamins are not a source of calories and do not contribute significantly to body mass. The plant or animal uses vitamins as tools in processes that regulate chemical activities in the organism and that use basic food elements--carbohydrates, fats, and proteins -- to form tissues and to produce energy.
Vitamins can be used over and over, and only tiny amounts are needed to replace those that are lost.
Nevertheless, most vitamins are essential in the diet because the body does not produce enough of them or, in many cases, does not produce them at all.
Thirteen different vitamins of the over 100 vitamin commonly seen have been identified by nutritionists: A, eight B-complex vitamins, C, D, E, and K.
Some substances, such as carnitine and choline, behave like vitamins but are made in adequate amounts in the human body.
Vitamins were originally placed in categories based on their function in the body and were given letter names.
Later, as their chemical structures were revealed, they were also given chemical names. Today, both naming conventions are used.

Symptom: What is Vitamin A?
|
Vitamin A, also called retinol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is readily destroyed upon exposure to heat, light, or air. The vitamin has a direct role in vision and is a component of a pigment present in the retina of the eye. It is essential for the proper functioning of most body organs and also affects the functioning of the immune system.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin A deficiency? |
Vitamin A deficiency results in various disorders that most commonly involve the eye and the epithelial tissues--the skin and the mucous membranes lining the internal body surfaces. An early symptom of vitamin A deficiency is the development of night blindness, and continued deficiency eventually results in loss of sight. If deficiency is prolonged, the skin may become dry and rough. Vitamin A deficiency may also result in defective "bone" and teeth formation.
Excessive intake of vitamin A causes a toxic condition. The symptoms may include nausea, coarsening and loss of hair, drying and scaling of the skin, bone pain, fatigue, and rowsiness. There may also be blurred vision and headache in adults, and growth failure, enlargement of the liver, and nervous irritability in children.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin B Complex? |
Vitamin B complex consists of several vitamins that are grouped together because of the loose similarities in their properties, distribution in natural sources, and physiological functions. All the B vitamins are soluble in water. Most of the B vitamins have been recognized as coenzymes, and they all appear to be essential in facilitating the metabolic processes of all forms of animal life. The complex includes B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), niacin (nicotinic acid), B6 (a group of related pyridines), B12 (cyanocobalamin), folic acid, pantothenic acid, and biotin.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin B1? |
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, helps the body convert carbohydrates into energy and helps in the metabolism of proteins and fats. Vitamin B1 deficiency affects the functioning of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and peripheral nervous systems. Beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (often seen in alcoholics) are the primary diseases related to thiamine deficiency. General symptoms of beriberi include loss of appetite and overall lassitude, digestive irregularities, and a feeling of numbness and weakness in the limbs and extremities.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin B2? |
Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is required to complete several reactions in the energy cycle. Reddening of the lips with cracks at the corners of the mouth, inflammation of the tongue, and a greasy, scaly inflammation of the skin are common symptoms of deficiency.
Niacin, or nicotinic acid, helps the metabolism of carbohydrates. Prolonged deprivation leads to pellagra, a disease characterized by skin lesions, gastrointestinal disturbance, and nervous symptoms.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin B5? |
The information that I have found says that Biotin is B5, buts it not strong enough, can you help?
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin B6? |
A form of Vitamin B6 is a coenzyme for several enzyme systems involved in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. No human disease has been found to be caused by a deficiency of this vitamin.
Chronic use of large doses of vitamin B6 can create dependency and cause complications in the peripheral nervous system.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vatamin B12? |
Vitamin B12, or cyanocobalamin, is a complex crystalline compound that functions in all cells, but especially in those of the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the bone marrow. It is known to aid in the development of red blood cells in higher animals. Deficiency most commonly results in pernicious anemia.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Folic Acid? |
Folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids and the formation of red blood cells. Folic-acid deficiency most commonly causes folic-acid-deficiency anemia. Symptoms include gastrointestinal problems, such as sore tongue, cracks at the corners of the mouth, diarrhea, and ulceration of the stomach and intestines. Large doses of folic acid can cause convulsions and other nervous-system problems.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Pantothenic Acid? |
Pantothenic acid promotes a large number of metabolic reactions essential for the growth and well-being of animals. Deficiency in experimental animals leads to growth failure, skin lesions, and graying of the hair. A dietary deficiency severe enough to lead to clear-cut disease has not been described in humans.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin D? |
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble compound essential for calcium metabolism in animals and therefore important for normal mineralization of bone and cartilage. The skin forms vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, but in some circumstances sunlight may lack sufficient amounts of ultraviolet rays to bring about adequate production of the vitamin.
Deficiencies cause many biochemical and physiological imbalances. If uncorrected, faulty mineralization of bones and teeth causes rickets in growing children and osteomalacia (progressive loss of calcium and phosphorus from the bones) in adults. Common early symptoms of rickets include restlessness, profuse sweating, lack of muscle tone in the limbs and abdomen, and delay in learning to sit, crawl, and walk. Rickets may produce such conditions as bowlegs and knock-knees. Deficiency may also cause osteoporosis, a bone condition characterized by an increased tendency of the bones to fracture. Large doses of vitamin D are toxic, and symptoms include weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, and weight loss.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Biotin? |
Biotin plays a role in metabolic processes that lead to the formation of fats and the utilization of carbon dioxide. Biotin deficiency results in anorexia, nausea, vomiting, inflammation of the tongue, pallor, depression, and dermatitis.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin E? |
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble compound. The metabolic roles of this vitamin are poorly understood. Its primary role appears to be as an inhibitor of oxidation processes in body tissues. Deficiency is rare but may impair neuromuscular function. Although serious toxicity has not been attributed to large doses of vitamin E, adverse effects have been reported.
TOP
|
| Symptom: What is Vitamin K? |
Vitamin K is fat-soluble and essential for the synthesis of certain proteins necessary for the clotting of blood.
Deficiency, though relatively uncommon, results in impaired clotting of the blood and internal bleeding.
TOP
|
| Symptom: Where do Vitamins come from? |
Vitamins, though they are available from a variety of sources, are unevenly distributed in natural sources. For example, some vitamins, such as vitamin D, are produced only by animals, whereas other vitamins are found only in plants. (For natural sources of vitamins, see table.) All vitamins can be synthesized, or produced commercially, from foods and other sources, and there is no evidence that natural vitamins are superior to those that are synthetically derived.
Some foods are fortified with vitamins--that is, vitamins that are not normally present in the food, or that have been removed during processing, are added to the food before it is sold. Milk, for example, is fortified with vitamin D, and vitamins that have been lost from flour during processing are often replaced.
Although vitamin supplementation is generally unnecessary for otherwise well-nourished persons, there are times when the body's vitamin requirements may increase and when vitamin supplementation may be essential. Those likely to require such supplements include pregnant women, the elderly, and the chronically ill.
Excessive intakes of supplemental vitamins should be avoided, however, because of the possibility of toxicity.
All dosages are clearly marked by measurement and some are by weight. Please only use what is prescribed regardless of how good the patient feels. We do our best to provide you the safest and the best, but if you overdose or poision pet don't listen to what the patient is telling you about how great they feel and want more. More is not good!

| Symptom: Which supplement is best for my needs: Pills, Capsules, Caplets or Liquid?
TOP
|
Pills, Capsules, Caplets or Liquid?
Which is Best?
Any medical or nutritional professional can tell you that, when it comes to medications, vitamins or nutritional supplements that are taken orally, the liquid form is always absorbed faster (and becomes "bioavailable" faster) than any pill, capsule, caplet, or other solid form.
Another thing to consider with pills, capsules or caplets is that, because of their compressed nature or because of their coatings or the fillers and binders that enable them to be compressed, they may pass through the system without being absorbed at all.
Thus, there is a risk that medication or supplements in these forms will have zero effect not to mention passing through the Liver and Kidneys. For these reasons, everything we offer is, whenever possible, available as a liquid using human grade elements Made in America.
When giving a liquid medication or supplement to an animal, an oral syringe is used to squirt the preparation into the animal's mouth in such a way that it is easily swallowed by injecting the supplement in front of your loved ones jaws.
If the word “syringe” makes you think of a hypodermic needle, don’t worry. An oral syringe has a nozzle, not a needle!
For anyone who has had to resort to mixing or hiding pills in an animal's food, or holding the animal's mouth open and trying to force a pill down its throat, the technique of administering a liquid/paste via syringe can actually prove far easier and less stressful for all concerned. And, because liquids are so readily absorbed, it’s a far more efficient method as well.
The remainder of the liquid products are added directly with the animals feed with the taste they love.
Our products are available in singles, multiple and even cases for delivery by common carrier direct from our plant here in the U.S.A. Should you have International Concerns, Special Requests or even desire Quotations please Contact Us of your interests or concerns.
