Description of Vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is primarily important for good resistance. Moreover, it strengthens blood vessels and skin elasticity, provides protection against free radicals, and prevents skin aging. Vitamin C helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and the nervous system. Humans cannot synthesize vitamin C themselves and are entirely dependent on food for their vitamin C supply. Vitamin C is water-soluble and sensitive to heat and sunlight. Vegetables with vitamin C should be exposed to air as little as possible when pre-cut, pureed, or juiced.

Dietary supplements cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Remember that only a healthy lifestyle and a balanced way of eating ensure the proper functioning of the body and the maintenance of good health.
