Solgar® Vitamin C 500 mg Vegetable Capsules contains Vitamin C, an antioxidant vitamin essential to the body’s health and is often seasonally used to support the immune system. Vitamin C is also known to support healthy skin and joints. Also known as Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin.
Unlike most other animals, humans cannot make their own Vitamin C. With Vitamin C playing a role in more than 300 bodily functions, life itself depends on regular replenishment. Its primary function is to maintain Collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of skin, ligaments, bones and teeth, and for the strength of blood vessel walls. In addition, Vitamin C plays an important part in the absorption of Iron, which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells. It also plays a role in the utilisation of Folic Acid, one of the B-Complex Vitamins.
It is well noted that Vitamin C is destroyed by food preparation more than any other nutrient. It is also well known that the body does not store Vitamin C, but tends to excrete excess amounts.
By taking 1 of Solgar® Vitamin C 500 mg Vegetable Capsules, you will receive 500 mg of this essential vitamin, to help fight free radicals. Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress and the premature aging of cells. Vitamin C also contributes to:
The normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth
The normal energy-yielding metabolism
The normal functioning of the nervous system
The normal psychological function
The normal functioning of the immune system, as well as during and after intense physical exercise
The protection of cells from oxidative stress
The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
The regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E
