Vitamin C-1000 - Building the Body’s
Defenses
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important vitamin for general health.
Because it is water-soluble, the body cannot store the vitamin so
you must be certain to get enough daily, either through your diet
or supplements. Vitamin C is a critical component of both basic
body building functions and disease prevention. It is needed for
the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body.
Important Antioxidant for Healing
Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds and the repair
and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. During any kind
of healing process, whether it is from infection, injury, disease
or surgery, the body uses large amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C
is an antioxidant that can help block damage from free radicals.
Recent research indicates that vitamin C and vitamin E work synergistically,
having a greater effect together than separately. Vitamin C also
increases the absorption of iron.
Protects Against Many Health Conditions
Research is ongoing into the therapeutic uses of vitamin C. Studies
show promise for the use of vitamin C in protecting against a number
of conditions. These conditions include heart disease, high cholesterol,
high blood pressure, common cold, osteoarthritis, obesity and weight
loss, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, Alzheimer’s
disease and other types of dementia.
Evidence from human studies indicates vitamin
C will not cure these conditions but may help prevent their initial
onset or slow progression. Vitamin C is critical to collagen production,
a protein that binds cells together and is the building block of
connective tissues throughout the body. It is also an immune system
booster, increasing white blood cell production.
