Vitamina C is a food supplement based on vitamin C. Vitamin C * contributes to the physiological function of the immune system, ** to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to *** the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the most important and indispensable water-soluble vitamins for our organism, which we cannot store and which must therefore be taken with food. The precious vitamin C is absorbed in the intestines and is then distributed to the various organs and districts, where it can perform its many functions.

Among the various properties for which vitamin C is known, its antioxidant power should certainly be emphasised, which gives it a protective effect against oxidative stress, free radicals and cellular ageing in general, as well as regenerating other molecules with antioxidant action (such as vitamin E and glutathione).
It is also involved in numerous physiological mechanisms:

  • it is a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions involved in the synthesis of collagen, a very important protein in the structure of various tissues in the body (e.g. skin, bones, ligaments, muscles, vascular tissue, etc.), of various neurotransmitters, including dopamine and noradrenaline, bile acids, carnitine and steroid hormones;

  • plays a key function in supporting the immune system and strengthening our natural defences. Monocytes and neutrophils, cells that are fundamental to the immune system, are 'protected' from damage by radicals due to their high vitamin C content, and are able to block the activation of NF-kB (transcription factor responsible for the inflammatory cascade) and migrate to the sites of infection where they perform their function. On lymphocytes, vitamin C enables their proper differentiation, maturation and function;

  • it plays an important role in the intestinal absorption of 'non-heme' iron (of plant origin), which is more difficult to assimilate, and intervenes in the synthesis of red blood cells, which are responsible for the correct oxygenation of the organism;

  • it reduces the toxicity of certain metals (e.g. nickel, lead, cadmium) and inhibits the synthesis of carcinogenic compounds such as nitrosamines to which we are exposed/introduced.

So it is clear that thanks to its many properties, vitamin C is particularly useful in maintaining the health of the skin, slowing down its ageing, counteracting excess wrinkles and dry skin, protecting us from UV damage, preventing and supporting the fight against seasonal ailments and infections, as well as intervening against iron deficiency anaemia and various other disorders related to its deficiency.

Why is it useful to prevent this deficiency if we can introduce it through various foods such as fruit and vegetables? It is well known how easily this molecule deteriorates during the preparation or cooking of food (it is in fact defined as thermolabile) as it is very sensitive to light, heat and therefore to storage processes. Furthermore, it should also be considered that in today's agriculture, the content of this vitamin in fruit and vegetables is becoming increasingly scarce, a consequence of various factors such as intensive farming, pesticide use and pollution.
