Vitamin C-500 Tablets - Antioxidant Protection provides a potent dosage of this key vitamin and is blended with Rose Hips, a natural source of Vitamin C and a synergist. Vitamin C is an antioxidant nutrient which help in building and boosting the immunity by eliminating the toxin from the body. It also contributes to your immune defense system by supporting multiple cellular functions of your body's adaptive immune systems. Vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection. Antioxidants like vitamin C protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules generated during normal metabolism and typical environmental exposures. Free radicals are unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures. Free radicals, if not mopped up by the antioxidants would cause inflammation, cancer, early ageing and even heart disease. Vitamin C as a potent antioxidant, can prevent or slow cell damage caused by free radicals, hence prevent diseases. Vitamin C scavenge free radicals from the body cells, thus prevent or reduce the damage caused by oxidation. Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. It is also needed for amino acid metabolism and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. Rose Hips, which are natural source of ascorbic acid, have been included to complement this formula.
