Vitamin C is necessary for the synthesis of collagen and is an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bones. Even plays an important role in the synthesis of norepinephrine (important neurotransmitter). Furthermore, necessary for the synthesis of carnitine (transport of fatty acids into mitochondria). Recent research shows that involved in the metabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, which affect the levels of cholesterol in the blood responsible for the occurrence of gallstones. Even vitamin C enhances iron bioavailability from foods, enhancing the intestinal absorption of the mineral iron.
Vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant and protects both free radicals and by reactive oxygen species generated during normal metabolism. It has the ability to regenerate vitamin E. Recent study in smokers, found that C regenerates vitamin E from the oxidized form.
Vitamin C stimulates the production and function of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, lymphocytes and phagocytes.
Vitamin C protects the integrity of immune system cells. Neutrophils, monocytes, phagocytes and lymphocytes accumulate Vitamin C in high concentrations and protect these types of cells from oxidative damage. When there are "intruders," phagocytes releasing superoxide radicals, hypochlorous acid, and other oxidants. These active forms of oxygen kill "intruders", but during this process simultaneously aftooxeidonontai. Vitamin C through its antioxidant capacity, protects the white blood cells from autoxidation by strengthening their glutathione levels.
Several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have shown that vitamin C improves vasodilation in people with cardiovascular problems.
Piperine contained, accelerates the absorption of vitamin C, resulting to be high vitamin C concentrations in the blood in just 30 minutes. Vitamin C fast absorbing formula contains the best and the most absorbable forms, from camu camu and acerola.
