Properties

Power for the immune system

Vitamin C contributes to a normal functioning of the immune system and nervous system. ¹

In addition, a vitamin C deficiency impairs immune responses, particularly chemotaxis, complement activation and interferon production. ² Ascorbic acid improves the absorption of iron salts by reducing iron(III) ions and by forming iron chelates.

The antioxidant functions of vitamin C lead to biochemical interactions closely related to those of vitamin E, vitamin A and carotenoids.¹

Valuable antioxidant

Vitamin C is essential for human life.²

It helps protect cells from oxidative stress, as its components, ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid, form an important redox system. ^1,2

Vitamin C also contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. ^1,2

Due to its redox potential (antioxidative effect), vitamin C acts as a cofactor in numerous enzyme systems (collagen formation, catecholamine synthesis, hydroxylation of steroids, tyrosine and exogenous substances, biosynthesis of carnitine, regeneration of tetrahydrofolic acid and alpha-amidation of peptides, e.g. ACTH and gastrin).²

It thus contributes to normal collagen formation, for a normal functioning of the teeth, gums, skin and cartilage. ²
