Vitamin C is essential for our bodies and our health. The body does not synthesize it, its intake through food or supplementation is essential.

FEATURES :

 

– Water soluble
– Sensitive to heat, cooking, oxygen, UV
– Only fresh and raw products provide it

 

 

THE DIFFERENT ROLES OF VITC:

 

  • Antioxidant role: It is the main water-soluble antioxidant. It acts on the cell membrane by helping vitamin E.
  • Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic role
  • Antiviral role
  • Antibacterial role
  • Cardiovascular protective role:

 

 

MOREOVER VITAMIN C:

 

– Helps lower blood pressure
– Facilitates the excretion of cholesterol
– Recycles vitamin E, the first fat-soluble antioxidant, therefore protective of LDL with other antioxidants and polyphenols
– Participates in the synthesis of collagen which gives resistance to the vessels
– Protector of microcirculation
– Improves the preservation of respiratory function
– Natural or synthesized, it is the same molecule

 

Taking more than 500mg of vitC per day is associated with an average increase in longevity. Epidemiological studies indicate that people with higher vitC intakes, among other factors, have reduced mortality.
