C500 — vegansk

Everyone knows that vitamin C is good for our immune system, but vitamin C also has many other uses in our body, and is indispensable for our body’s functioning.

Our body can’t make vitamin C on its own, and many of our daily routines increases the need for vitamin C, which includes sunbathing, cold, stress, smoking, birth control pills and environmental contamination. Vitamin C competes with sugars, in the form of carbohydrates, since they both use the same absorptions pathways in our body. Eating a high sugar diet therefore reduces our body’s ability to absorb vitamin C. It can therefor be a good idea to support at healthy and balanced diet with foods or supplements with high vitamin C content.

Our C500 from Green Vitamins contains 500 mg of acid-neutral vitamin C in a slow release tablet, which releases the vitamins over 8 hours for the most optimal absorption.

Vitamin C is used in our body to form the connective tissue protein called Collagen. Collagen is used to bind cells together, and especially our skin and joints are reliant on a healthy level of collagen to work properly. Wrinkles form as the amount of collagen in our skin decreases with age, since collagen is the protein which provides our skin with its firmness and structure.

In addition, vitamin C contributes to the following:

• reduction fatigue and exhaustion
• protect the cells from oxidative stress 
• maintain a normal energy metabolism 
• maintain the nervous system 
• maintain a normal psychological function 
• form new collagen which affects normal functioning blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth 
• maintain the immune system - also during and after intensive physical exercise

So to keep you body is shape – you need vitamin C in your diet!
