Description:

L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C): Ascorbic Acid is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant that is vital for the growth and maintenance of all body tissues. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the production of Collagen, an important cellular component of connective tissues, muscles, tendons, bones, teeth, and skin. It catalyzes the hydroxylation of Prolyl and Lysyl residues in the Collagen Polypeptide chains, allowing interaction of the Collagen fibers. In addition, Ascorbic Acid has a detoxifying effect on liver.It is also required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters, Norepinephrine and Serotonin. It catalyzes the conversion of Dopamine to Norepinephrine and the conversion of Tryptophan to Serotonin. Ascorbic Acid is also necessary for the synthesis of Steroid Hormones and Carnitine, and for the conversion of Cholesterol to Bile Acids. It has been shown to enhance Iron bioavailability.Ascorbic Acid also promotes healthy cell development, proper Calcium absorption, and normal cell growth and repair. It assists in the prevention of blood clotting and bruising, and strengthens capillary walls.
