The wealth of information which is available today has made people more aware of issues affecting the quality of life. One such issue is the hybridization of products and services available in the market. Technology has allowed producers to "combine the best of both worlds," so to speak, and combine the advantages of two different products into one new product.

There are now "hybrid" cars which run on both fossil fuel and battery power. Many of us own gadgets which combine the functions of cameras and mobile phones. Technology has allowed the combining of products, and we as consumers continue to be amazed.

Now FERN, Inc, the distributors of FERN-C (the Non-acidic Vitamin C), has come up with a product which combines the benefits of vitamins, minerals, and… coffee? FERNCoffee is the only coffee-blend in the market which combines the goodness of coffee with eight (8) vitamins and minerals, namely: Vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, B12, D3, as well as the minerals Calcium and Zinc.

Sodium Ascorbate (non-acidic vitamin C, the same component found in FERN-C) is also in each sumptuous cup of FERNCoffee. As we all know, vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals, which may cause heart disease and cancer.

FERNCoffee has B vitamins (Vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12) to enhance the energy boost from coffee. Also, when mixed with Sodium Ascorbate, this vitamin group helps beat stress.

VITAMIN B1
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, helps fuel your body by converting blood sugar into energy. It keeps your mucous membranes healthy and is essential for nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular function. Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin. lack of it can cause beriberi, a condition that involves confusion, muscle wasting, nerve problems and a rapid heartbeat.

VITAMIN B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, works with other vitamins in the B complex to process calories from carbohydrates, protein and fat. Your body needs it for growth and red cell production, and adequate riboflavin intake promotes healthy skin and good vision. Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin. Women should have 1.1 mg of riboflavin daily and men should have 1.7 mg daily. Lack of riboflavin will cause eye sensitivity to light, skin rash and cracks at the corners of the mouth.

VITAMIN B6
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, helps brain function and helps the body convert protein to energy. Some research has shown that Vitamin B6 works with folic acid and B12 to reduce levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) in the blood elevated homocysteine levels can increase a person's risk of heart attack. Viatmin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin. Women need 1.6 mg of Vitamin B6 everyday and men need 2 mg. daily.

VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, works with folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B12 also keeps your central nervoussystem healthy. The only natural sources of B12 are animal products. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. both adult men and women need 2 micrograms of Vitamin B12 each day. B12 deficiency can cause a type of anemia marked by fewer but larger red blood cells that's called pernicious anemia.

CALCIUM
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is essential for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth, the location of about 99% of the body's calcium. Calcium also helps the heart, nerves, muscles, and other body systems work properly. It is probably best known for its effects in preventing osteoporosis. Your body needs several other nutrients in order for calcium to be absorbed and used properly, including magnesium, phosphorous, and especially Vitamins D and K. It is especially important to get enough calcium as you age.

ZINC
Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. It is required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes and it plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis , wound healing, DNA synthesis and cell division . Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence , and is required for proper sense of taste and smell , A daily intake of zinc is required to maintain a steady state because the body has no specialized zinc storage system.
Zinc deficiency is characterized by growth retardation, loss of appetite, and impaired immune function. In more severe cases, zinc deficiency causes hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism in males, and eye and skin lesions , Weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can also occur , Many of these symptoms are non-specific and often associated with other health conditions; therefore, a medical examination is necessary to ascertain whether a zinc deficiency is present.
Severe zinc deficiency depresses immune function and even mild to moderate degrees of zinc deficiency can impair macrophage and neutrophil functions, natural killer cell activity-white blood cell, and complement activity , The body requires zinc to develop and activate T-lymphocytes , Individuals with low zinc levels have shown reduced lymphocyte proliferation response to mitogens and other adverse alterations in immunity that can be corrected by zinc supplementation. These alterations in immune function might explain why low zinc status has been associated with increased susceptibility to pneumonia and other infections in children in developing countries and the elderly.

VITAMIN D3
With all the advances in the 20th century, Vitamin D3 is still an epidemic. 15 to 20 minutes of sunshine each day, in the nude, helps your body manufacture about 10,000 to 15,000 iu's of Vitamin D3 per day. The problem is that most people avoid the sun these days due to fear of skin cancer.
Vitamin D3 deficiency can result in obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, kidney stones, osteoporosis, and neuro-degenerative disease including alzheimers's disease. Eventually, vitamin D3 deficiency may even lead to cancer (especially breast, prostate and colon cancers). vitamin D3 is believed to play a role in controlling the immune system (possible reducing one's risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases), increasing neuro-muscular function and decreasing falls, improving mood, protecting the brain against toxic chemicals, and potentially reducing pain.
Vitamin D3 is both a vitamin and a hormone. It acts as a vitamin when it binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3.
