Vitamin C 1000 mg – a natural complement for daily vitality

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems. It is essential for the proper functioning of the body, hence it must be supplied to the body with food or in the form of additional supplementation.

Why it's worth it.

• it is required for the synthesis of collagen, and therefore affects the provision of normal connective tissue,
• facilitates the process of wound healing,
• facilitates the absorption of iron,
• is an activator of many enzymes,
• is involved in the synthesis of corticosteroids and some neurotransmitters, and in tyrosine metabolism,
• has a stabilizing effect on the psyche,
• plays a role in dentistry - vitamin C fights tooth decay-causing bacteria and strengthens teeth and gums.

Vitamin C is a vitamin that humans do not synthesize, nor do they have the ability to store it. Food-derived vitamin C is highly unstable to exposure to heat, light and air, for example. It helps in the proper production of collagen to ensure the proper functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and skin, and consequently accelerates wound healing.

1) Participation in antioxidant processes - vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and glutathione is the human body's most important antioxidant system, eliminating free radicals - a powerful antioxidant, reduces oxidative stress and free radicals.

2) Promotes the absorption of nonheme iron and in the accumulation of this element in the bone marrow, spleen and liver, which prevents anemia.

3) Participates in the metabolism of certain hormones and neurotransmitters, e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, gastrin. Vitamin C is also essential in the metabolism of thyroid hormones - it participates in the metabolism of tyrosine.

4) By increasing the production of prostaglandins, it lowers the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis; it reduces the risk of stroke.

5) Contributes to maintaining normal immune system function during and after heavy exercise.

6) Contributes to the proper acquisition of energy in metabolic processes, and is necessary for the activation of many enzymes in the body.

7) Participates in the metabolism of fatty acids - vitamin C is essential in the synthesis of carnitine, a peptide responsible for the transport of the fatty acid molecule within the cell from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria. Fatty acid burning and energy production are only possible in the mitochondria, so carnitine deficiency results in fat deposition for storage and less energy production.

8) The combination of vitamin C and zinc is a great way to shorten the duration of colds and infections (especially upper respiratory infections ).

9) It participates in the body's detoxification process, including by affecting the absorption and excretion of metal ions such as cadmium, lead, selenium, vanadium.

10) Helps regenerate the reduced form of vitamin E.
