Description

Vitamin C popular and essential micronutrient for humans. Specifically, it acts as both a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for a family of regulatory enzymes. There are a huge range of health benefits Vitamin C supplementation may assit:

1. Boosts Immune Function

Vitamin C is well-known for its role in supporting the immune system. It enhances the production and function of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting immune cells from oxidative damage.

2. Antioxidant Protection

As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C neutralizes free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress that can damage cells and tissues. This helps to protect against chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and age-related conditions.

3. Collagen Synthesis and Skin Health

Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, a protein that supports skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage. Collagen helps maintain skin elasticity and is crucial for wound healing. Consuming vitamin C can support healthy skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall skin tone.

4. Improves Iron Absorption

Vitamin C enhances the absorption of non-heme iron (the form of iron found in plant-based foods). This is particularly beneficial for individuals with iron-deficiency anemia or those following vegetarian or vegan diets.

5. Reduces Inflammation

Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties that can help lower inflammation markers in the body. This is useful for managing conditions like arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

6. Supports Heart Health

Vitamin C may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, and preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis).

7. Protects Against Chronic Diseases

The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help protect the body against free radical damage, which is associated with the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

8. Promotes Wound Healing

Due to its role in collagen production, vitamin C is crucial for wound healing. It helps in tissue repair and regeneration and speeds up recovery after surgery or injury.

9. Mood and Mental Health Support

Some studies suggest that vitamin C may play a role in mood regulation, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Its antioxidant properties may protect the brain from oxidative stress, which is linked to mental health conditions.

10. Enhances Athletic Performance and Recovery

Vitamin C may help reduce muscle soreness and speed recovery after intense physical activity by reducing inflammation and oxidative damage. It also helps in the repair of muscle tissue.

How to Use Vitamin C Powder:

Vitamin C powder can be mixed with water, juice, or smoothies. It’s usually more concentrated than tablets or capsules, so be sure to follow recommended dosages. We recommend a 1 gram serving per day.

Precautions:

  • Stomach Irritation: High doses of vitamin C can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or nausea in some people, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
  • Kidney Stones: Excessive intake of vitamin C over long periods can increase the risk of kidney stones, particularly in individuals prone to kidney issues.
  • Interaction with Medications: Vitamin C can interact with certain medications, so it’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider before starting supplementation, particularly for individuals on blood thinners, chemotherapy, or statins.

FAQs

We recommend consuming  1g of Vitamin C daily. This can be taken in a single dose before bed or spread across the afternoon. If gastric discomfort occurs, consume with food.

Yes, this product is great for women as well!

1. What does Vitamin C do?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You have to get what you need from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli, tomatoes or supplements.

You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth. It also helps the body absorb iron from nonheme sources.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, along with vitamin E, beta-carotene, and many other plant-based nutrients. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals, substances that damage DNA. The build up of free radicals over time may contribute to the aging process and the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.

2. Is Vitamin C safe?

Yes, Vitamin C is generally well tolerated, including across several clinical trials with up to 10 grams ingested per day (Hoppe et al. 2021). However, we do not recommend consuming more than 1 gram per day unless otherwise instructed by a medical professional.

Excessive consumption can lead to gastric discomfort including nausea, cramping, bloating, vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms of excessive consumption can also include Heartburn. If you experience any of these symptoms immedietly stop use of this supplement and consult a medical professional.

3. Is there an advantage to taking liposomal, esterified, time-release, or mineral forms of ascorbic acid compared to taking plain ascorbic acid? What about pH buffered Vitamin C?

There has been no proven benefit to taking any other 'fancy' form of vitamin C over good old plain ascorbic acid! Similar to creatine, the most simple answer is just as effective whilst saving your wallet.

Many companies claim their product has a greater bioavailability, but there is little scientific evidence to support this.

    My second purchase of this product as I found it tightened my gums around a loose tooth plus no more bleeding when I brush. It contains no nasty additional additives. I saw a result after two weeks. I probably need to mention I’m over 70. Well packaged and arrived in less than 2 weeks even though it’s the Xmas period.
