About Vitamin C

Vitamin C consumption is one of the pillars of taking care of immunity, the synthesis of collagen necessary for the health of the skin, hair, nails, bones, teeth, muscles, blood vessels and supporting every cell of your body against the harmful effects of free radicals. Vitamin C is one of the exogenous substances, i.e. those that we need to provide the body with the food, because it is not able to produce them itself.

Vitamin C is involved in many important processes in the body. It helps in maintaining the proper functioning of the immune system and protects cells against oxidative stress ^[1]. Thanks to its strong antioxidant and reducing properties, it protects cells, including cells of the immune system, against reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus supporting immune functions ^[2]. Vitamin C also helps in the proper production of collagen to ensure the proper functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth ^[3]. The presence of this vitamin is also essential for proper energy metabolism ^[4]. Vitamin C helps in the proper functioning of the nervous system, maintaining proper psychological functions and contributes to the reduction of tiredness ^[5]. By acting as a cofactor, it increases the absorption of iron, which is particularly important in people using a plant-based diet, because non-heme iron from plant sources is characterised by a lower absorption efficiency compared to iron from animals ^[6].

Vitamin C can be found primarily in fruits and vegetables, and one of the richest sources of vitamin C are: rosehips, black currants, red peppers and parsley. Thermal processing, i.e. blanching, long cooking, may cause significant loss of vitamin C, so it is best to supply it from untreated or low-processed products ^[7]. The need for vitamin C depends on gender, age and physiological condition. Apart from disease factors, the demand increases in people living under stress, as well as in physically active people ^[8]. 

If you want to supplement your diet, reach for our supplement containing Liposovit-C, vitamin C closed in liposomes. This state-of-the-art administration technology increases the stability of the vitamin and protects the stomach. Thanks to the use of a coat of lipids, the same as those forming cell membranes, it facilitates penetration into the body's cells and absorption ^[9].
