Vitamin C offers a wide range of support for the human body. It is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It supports the body’s defense system by enhancing white blood cell function and activity, and increasing interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen.
Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells and converts folic acid to active folinic acid. It has histamine lowering properties, increases lymphocyte formation, and is required for the synthesis of carnitine and steroids.
Vitamin C, one of the most potent dietary antioxidants, provides optimal nutritional support to all physiological functions, including, notably, vascular and capillary integrity in support of the circulatory system.
