Humans, unlike most animals, cannot synthesize Vitamin C on their own because they lack an enzyme in the related metabolic pathway. Therefore, Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for us that must be obtained from food. Additionally, it is water-soluble, it is not stored in significant amounts and the excess is excreted, so intake needs to be daily and constant.
In the body, Vitamin C functions at two main levels. Firstly, as a cofactor of enzymes that hydroxylate collagen, that is, it participates in the structure of the basic protein matrix of skin, gums, teeth, bones and blood vessels. Secondly, as a reducing agent that participates in the antioxidant network of cells. In children, who are in a tissue development phase and often have selective dietary preferences, the coverage of this nutrient is a frequent topic of discussion with the pediatrician.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, Kangavites is a chewable Vitamin C formulation designed for children, with the following points:
