Solgar Vitamin C vegicaps 1000mg
Vitamin C is also
known as ascorbic acid and is a
water-soluble, antioxidant vitamin that
plays a role in more than 300 bodily
functions. It is essential to help support
health and wellness and requires daily
replenishment.
Unfortunately, human beings - unlike most
other animals - cannot manufacture vitamin
C. Nor can they store vitamin C to any
appreciable amount. Instead, the kidneys,
acting as regulators, excrete vitamin C
causing the need for regular replenishment.
In addition, vitamin C is destroyed during
food preparation.
Vitamin C's primary function is to help
maintain collagen, a protein necessary for
forming skin, ligaments, bones and teeth and
for helping to maintain the strength of
blood vessel walls. High levels of vitamin C
are also essential for the metabolism of
white blood cells, which are critical
components of the immune system. In
addition, vitamin C plays an important role
in the absorption of iron, which is
necessary for the formation of red blood
cells and in the utilization of folic acid,
one of the B-complex vitamins.
