Vitamin C 1000mg with rosehip

This food supplement provides you daily with high- dose vitamin C. One tablet contains 1000mg vitamin C in the stomach-friendly form calcium L-ascorbate. The vitamin C was combined with a 10-fold concentrated rosehip extract.

People cannot synthesise vitamin C themselves and are dependent on its absorption through food. Plants and most animals, however, are able to produce the vitamin themselves from glucuronic acid thanks to a special enzyme.

Vitamin C for the immune system

Vitamin C (scientifically: ascorbic acid) is probably the best known and most popular vitamin and is used primarily to support the immune system. It promotes the function of the immune system, the so-called leukocytes (white blood cells) and T-cells, by accumulating in them.
It also supports the immune system during severe physical stress such as exercising. Basically, physical activity can contribute to the functioning of the immune system, because the adrenaline released by exercise causes the amount of immune cells in the blood to increase.
If the body is overexerted, it releases stress hormones like cortisol, which can suppress the function of the immune system.
For this reason, it is recommended for competitive athletes or people who put too much stress on their bodies in general to supplement vitamin C.

Good antioxidant

Everyone has heard about the so-called free radicals and their effects on the organism. But very few people know that free radicals also have positive functions, because the immune system is dependent on them. The leukocytes and macrophages use free radicals to fight unwanted microorganisms.
The situation becomes critical when there is an excess of aggressive oxygen molecules in the body. They are created as intermediates in the human metabolism and are released especially when smoking, through UV rays, competitive sports and environmental pollutants. If there is an excess, we speak of oxidative stress, which has a number of negative consequences for the organism.
Vitamin C, as an antioxidant, is able to neutralise excess free radicals.

Ascorbic acid for skin, blood vessels and more

Another interesting function of vitamin C is that it contributes to collagen formation in the body. Collagen is an important structural protein in the organism, which can be found for example in the skin, connective tissue and bones. For this reason, vitamin C is involved in the function of the skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, teeth and gums by supporting collagen synthesis.
