The use of vitamin C for the human body is difficult to overestimate and it is safe to say that it is vital for each of us.

But to create a "reserve" of vitamin C in the body will not work - the human body is not able to synthesise it, and it is consumed by organs and systems constantly, so we must fill its deficit daily from external sources every day.

The recommended daily dosage for an adult is 100 mg per day and from 30 to 90 mg for children.

If a person lives in a busy city, adheres to vegetarianism, takes certain medications, smokes, then the need for vitamin C increases to 1,000 - 1,500 mg per day! The same applies to women after 40 years of age, when the risk of osteoporosis increases along with the slowing down of collagen synthesis.

It is interesting that two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling regularly took from 6,000 to 18,000 mg of vitamin C per day and lived to the age of 93!

The record holder for vitamin C content is acerola, or Barbados cherry, which contains 3,300 mg in 100 grams of product and is one of its sources in our "P_ID_10670"®" complex!

Antioxidant activity of vitamin C

Chemically speaking, vitamin C is an electron donor, which is responsible for its ability to oxidise, thus quenching free radicals, the excess of which leads to lipid peroxidation - fat.

Lipids are the building material of the walls of all cells in our body and their destruction (oxidation) leads to the development of various pathologies.

The ability of vitamin C to level this process makes it one of the most powerful antioxidants, literally responsible for the quality and duration of our lives.

Vitamin C's co-factor function

Vitamin C is involved in a multitude of chemical reactions, including being essential for the synthesis of collagen, an essential protein of connective tissue. Scurvy, which caused a lot of trouble for seafarers, was caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, without which tissues became loose - hence the total loss of teeth, thinning of vascular walls and brittle bones.

Women after 40 years of age need to take vitamin C to prevent osteoporosis and support the rheological functions of the blood, which suffer during premenopause.

Energetic and hypertensive functions of vitamin C

Vitamin C's ability to dilate blood vessels and act as a means of preventing atherosclerosis has recently been identified.

Vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of carnitine, a substance responsible for burning fat. But the lack of fats, which are the source of energy in our body, leads to the development of anaemic conditions.

Vitamin C in this process facilitates the absorption of iron, accelerating the formation of haemoglobin.
