Vitamin C is an essential
antioxidant, necessary for the efficient functioning of
the immune system. Its influence on the thymus increases
the chemical messengers, which help the body fight
everything from infections to Cancer. Vitamin C plays a
major role in the body's repair systems, helping form
collagen and connective tissue. It also enhances the
absorption of iron from the intestines, and contributes to
hemoglobin and red blood cell production in bone marrow. (Ingredients listed below)
It has many
speculated benefits, but its reputation for helping
prevent Cardiovascular Disease comes from the increasing
body of evidence that suggests it strips cholesterol from
blood vessel walls and helps prevent capillary fragility,
particularly in combination with bioflavonoids.
University
studies show it may be better:
- absorbed
- retained
- utilized
than other USP vitamin C products.
