Vitamin C - proven to be helpful
Studies have shown that it makes sense to take vitamin C before an expected stressful event. The immune system is then better able to cope with an upcoming onslaught of viruses or bacteria. Natural vitamin C, e.g. from acerola, is superior to synthetic ascorbic acid. People with stomach problems should choose calcium ascorbate, which is not acidic. The body can only retain small amounts of vitamin C in the blood for a short time, as it is water-soluble. Liposomal vitamin C is an interesting way to trick the body into letting even more vitamin C into the cells.... Read more

Effects of vitamin C
Water-soluble vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a vital nutrient for humans that must be obtained from food as the body cannot produce it itself. It plays an important role in the formation of bones, skin and connective tissue, strengthens the immune system, acts as an antioxidant to protect against cell damage caused by free radicals and supports wound healing and the absorption of plant iron.
- Collagen formation: Essential for the development of teeth, bones, blood vessels, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments.
- Antioxidant effect: Protects the organism from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to cell ageing and the development of diseases.
- Strengthens the immune system: Promotes the body's defence mechanisms against pathogens.
- Iron absorption: Optimises the assimilation of iron from plant foods.
- Wound healing: Contributes to good wound healing.
- Metabolism: Part of numerous metabolic processes, such as the synthesis of hormones and messenger substances.
Occurrence of vitamin C
- Plant-based foods: Sufficient amounts are found in fresh vegetables and fruit such as peppers, parsley, citrus fruits, spinach, tomatoes and berries.
- Processed foods: It is often added to foods as an additive (antioxidant) to preserve them and retain their colour.
vitamin C deficiency symptoms
- Insufficient wound healing.
- Increased risk of infection.
- Bleeding in the mucous membranes, skin and internal organs.
- Loss of teeth.
- A severe deficiency can cause scurvy.
Need
The vitamin C requirement varies depending on age, lifestyle and state of health. People with certain illnesses and smokers have an increased requirement.
