Vitamin C is a water soluble and essential micronutrient for our organism, since it is involved in several functions. It is necessary to eat foods that are rich in this vitamin or use nutritional supplementation in order to meet the daily recommended amount of vitamin C.
Some of the remarkable functions of Vitamin C are:
Vitamin C has a fundamental role within both the innate and adaptive immune system. It is in charge of supporting the antibacterial activity and it also inhibits an excessive activation of the immune system to prevent tissue damage.
It also has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant function in our organism. Moreover, Vitamin C acts a an enzymatic cofactor, which is extremely important in order to maintain tissue integrity, and it plays a crucial role in the formation of epithelial, endothelial, and skin barriers.[1]
Several studies have shown that the use of Vitamin C helps to reduce the symptoms of common colds, such as asthma, respiratory infections, and bronchial hypersensitivity.[2]
Vitamin C protects us against oxidative stress, prevents the non-enzymatic glycosylation of proteins, and improves arterial dilation through its effects on the release of nitric oxide. It also decreases the lipid peroxidation and relieves inflammatory processes.[3]
