Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin essential for the health of the body and particularly important for maintaining healthy skin. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for adult men is 90 mg and for women 75 mg. However, in individuals who do not consume enough fruits and vegetables, supplementation of 200-500mg per day is recommended. The main role of vitamin C is to regulate redox reactions. It participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and is involved in the formation of connective tissue. It affects the function of endocrine glands, has beneficial effects in cases of infection by pathogenic agents, and protects fat-soluble vitamins from oxidation. It is essential for the effective functioning of the immune system and exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
As an antioxidant, vitamin C provides protection against cancer and heart problems. Many studies have shown that low levels of this vitamin are associated with heart attacks. Additionally, Vitamin C can actually contribute to the extension of human life. In a study, it was shown that people who consumed daily more than 300mg of vitamin C (from foods and supplements) lived longer than those who consumed less than 50mg daily.
The NOW® C-1000 provides the appropriate potent dose of vitamin C and is enriched with bioflavonoids that help in its absorption by the body.
