Facts and benefits of vitamin C

Vitamin C has very significant functions in our body. Those are the most important: strengthens the bones, connective tissues and immune system, quickens the sore healing, actively participates in the body metabolism and acts like an antioxidant. Vitamin C defenses the body liquids (mainly blood) from the free radicals function. The vitamin also strengthens the blood vessels, which leads to blood pressure stabilization. It has prophylactic activity at cancer, cardio-vascular and arthritis diseases and delays the growing older processes too. According to some experiments vitamin C suppresses the cortisol secretion, who takes down the fence of the muscular tissue. This activity increases the testosterone/cortisol proportion, which stimulates the muscle growth.

The minimum vitamin C dose for people which do not sport regularly is about 100 mg. daily. For sporting people the recommended dose is bigger: 300-800 mg. Vitamin C is not dangerous even in huge doses, because the redundant amount removes form the body with the urine (but still in this case you have to drink a lot of water, otherwise the glomeruly kidneys can be damaged). The people with diabetes have to be careful with the vitamin C high doses, because it suppresses the normal function of the pancreas and by this way reacts directly upon insulin levels.

All multivitamins contain vitamin C (MultiTabs, Supradin, Supravit, etc.) and also can be sell as separate tablet.
