Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a vital nutrient your body needs for the healing process, to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle, and collagen in bones. It is also an antioxidant that assists in protecting your cells against free radicals, which are molecules produced as your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation from the sun, X-rays or other sources. These free radicals might play a role in the development of heart disease, cancers and other diseases.

Vitamin C has many important roles in our body's immune function, such as:

• Preventing damage to our cells;
• Wound healing;
• Producing neurotransmitters (our chemical messengers);
• Producing collagen;
• Antioxidant;
• Helping the body absorb and store iron;
• Boosting the immune system.

Benefits of Vitamin C

Reduces your risk of chronic disease

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant which strengthens your body's natural defenses. Antioxidants boost the immune system by protecting your body's cells from harmful free radicals. Once accumulated, free radicals promote a state called oxidative stress, which has been linked to many chronic diseases such as heart disease. Ensuring that your body gets the appropriate amount of Vitamin C increases the blood antioxidant levels by up to 30%, which aids your body's natural defenses to combat inflammation.

Helps to manage High Blood Pressure

Studies have shown that Vitamin C helps to lower blood pressure in both healthy adults and those who have High Blood Pressure.

Vitamin C lowers your risk of heart disease

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and several factors increase the risk of getting it, including High Blood Pressure, “bad” cholesterol levels (LDL) and low levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL). Vitamin C may help reduce your risk of Heart Disease as studies with a combined number of nearly 300,000 participants found that over the course of 10 years, those who took at least 700 mg of Vitamin C daily reduced their risk of Heart Disease by 25% against those who did not take a Vitamin C supplement.

Vitamin C helps to prevent gout attacks

4% of adults are affected by the type of arthritis, gout, a painful inflammation of the joints accompanied by severe swelling and sudden attacks of sharp pain. Symptoms of gout appear when there is too much Uric Acid in the blood. Elevated levels of uric acid may become “crystalized” and deposited in the joints. Studies have shown that those who consumed enough amounts of Vitamin C had significantly lower blood levels of uric acid than those who did not.

Vitamin C boosts your immunity

If there have been any positives to take away from these past years living in a pandemic, among them is that now, more than ever, people are not only more concerned with their health, but interested in ways to boost their body's natural defenses and prevent infection or at least minimize the effects of an infection. Vitamin C promotes your body's production and function of White Blood Cells, which helps to protect against infection. Vitamin C is also a vital part of the skin's defense system where it acts as an antioxidant and helps strengthen the skin's barriers. Studies have also concluded that taking sufficient amounts of Vitamin C may shorten the time it takes to heal wounds.

It should be clear by now that Vitamin C is essential to your health. It boosts antioxidant levels, boosts immunity, lowers blood pressure, improves iron absorption, protects against gout attacks, and reduces heart disease as well as dementia risk. A Vitamin C IV Infusion ensures that much higher levels are attained and absorbed by the body than can be achieved by ingesting oral supplements alone.
