Vitamin C

Vitamin C - Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for higher primates (among them homo sapines - i.e. you and me), and a small number of other species. Vitamin C is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and in plants.  Allmost all living things can maufacture Vitamin C themselves internally, we human beings are one  of the very few exception.

Vitamin C is widely known as the vitamin whose deficiency causes scurvy in humans, a problem early explorers faced on their long travles across the seas without access to fresh fruit and vegetables.

In humans, vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant, which reduces oxidative stress, it is also a substrate for ascorbate peroxidase (ascorbate peroxidases are enzymes that detoxify peroxides), as well as an enzyme cofactor for the biosynthesis of many important biochemicals necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies. Vitamin C acts as an electron donor for many enzymes.

Vitamin C Deficiency - Scurvy 

Scurvy Is The Best Known Effect Of Vitamin C Deficiency

Vitamin C deficiency is a very serious condition. The resulting sickness is called scurvy. Without vitamin C, the synthesised collagen (fibres in aour skin and supporting tissues) is too unstable to meet its function.

Scurvy leads to the formation of liver spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes. These spots are most numerous on the thighs and legs, and a person with scurvy looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized.

In advanced scurvy there are open watery wounds, people loose their teeth and, eventually, lack of vitamin C leads to death.

The human body cannot store vitamin C, and so the body soon depletes itself if fresh supplies of vitamin C are not consumed through the digestive system.

If your diet does not contain sufficient vitamin C, it's prudent to supplement. You may order Vitamin C Tablets online by clicking on the link.

How can Vitamin-C-Plus support a healthy immune system? 

Vitamin C plays an important antioxidant role in the body. Studies show that those who regularly eat foods high in ascorbic acid enjoy overall good health. Some of the positive attributes of vitamin C are cleansing of body tissues, protection against free radicals, supporting healthy levels of collagen throughout the body, maintenance of already healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular system, and helps maintain good vision.

Vitamin-C-Plus is a Life Plus formulation of one of nature's most important nutrients - vitamin C.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, or simply ascorbate, is one of the most well known and widely available vitamin supplements in the world, and yet Life Plus's Vitamin-C-Plus has been and continues to be one of our most popular supplements. As an essential vitamin that our bodies do not manufacture it must be supplied by the diet.

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors evolved on a diet rich in berries, tree fruits and shoots, wild grasses, herbs, roots, and wild game, all of which were rich sources of vitamin C. Somewhere in evolution, our human ancestors genetically deleted the function of producing our own vitamin C, as most other mammals do, probably because the ancient diet provided generous quantities of this vital compound.

The modern recommended Daily Value of 60 mg. (an amount that will reliably prevent scurvy, the vitamin C deficiency state), is far below the several grams of ascorbic acid that our hunter-gatherer ancestors are estimated to have consumed in their daily diet.

Life Plus VitaminC-Plus is helps to assure that your body gets enough vitamin C. You may order Vitamin C Tablets online by clicking on the link.
