Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin,
which is essential for normal functioning
of the body. Unlike most mammals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin
C. We must obtain vitamin C through our diet and supplements. Vitamin C is an important
structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. It increases calcium
and iron absorption where calcium is the most important mineral to keep your bones strong.
Vitamin C contributes to hemoglobin and red-blood-cell production in bone marrow
and it promotes healthy capillaries, gums, and teeth.
Vitamin C is also a highly effective antioxidant, it is important for reducing free-radical
production. Even in small amounts vitamin C can protect molecules in the body, such as proteins,
lipids (fats), carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by free radicals and
reactive oxygen species that can be generated during normal metabolism as well as through
exposure to toxins and pollutants.
Additional information on Vitamin C...
Vitamin C is the body's basic support for connective tissue. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis
of collagen; it helps collagen in connective tissue. It plays a vital role in the formation of
collagen, a structural protein in connective tissue, amino acid metabolism and hormone synthesis,
and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. It is also a key factor in
the body's immune system. Vitamin C is required for the production of collagen, a protein necessary
for the formation of connective tissue in muscles, skin, bones, and cartilage. Vitamin C also
plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters
are critical to brain function and are known to affect mood.
As we get older, we are more likely to be deficient in vitamin C. This is mainly due to the
decreasing absorption of healthy minerals. Vitamin C helps individuals absorb extra calcium
and iron in order to keep blood, bones, tendons and cell reproduction healthy.
Vitamin C supplementation should be considered by those individuals who:
are under excess stress for long periods.
use alcohol, tobacco or other drugs.
work in toxic environment (to boost their immune system).
