A Brief Introduction to Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential vitamin commonly found in citrus fruits such as lemons, grapefruits and oranges. Other sources include fruits and vegetables like strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, green and red bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli.
Vitamin C supplementation has been shown to provide positive support for:
- Immune system response
- Nervous system function
- Tissue growth and collagen production
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that the body is unable to produce on its own. Therefore, it must be replenished everyday through the diet. A Vitamin C deficiency may result in fatigue and weakness, swollen gums, nosebleeds, irritability and depressed mood.
How Vitamin C is Thought to Work
Vitamin C is considered to be a cofactor. Cofactors are the single most important set of components required to maintain fundamental processes throughout the body. Basic nervous system functions such as neurotransmitter synthesis and healthy cell-to-cell communication would not be possible without the presence of necessary vitamin, mineral and amino acid cofactors.
Supplementing an already healthy diet with Vitamin C may support a strong immune system response and promotes healthy nervous system function. Because of its nutritional value, Vitamin C is formulated along with other essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to help maintain physical and emotional wellness.
