IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN C 

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a biochemist winner of the Nobel Prize, in 1928 discovered ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C that is water-soluble. This key micronutrients is necessary for different biological functions. The discovery of Vitamin C was among the foundations of modern nutrition science.

Most animals are able to synthesise Vitamin C, however, humans are unable to produce this essential micronutrient, due to the lack the specific enzyme L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase. Thus, in humans Vitamin C is crucial to ensure adequate intake of this essential micronutrient.

Scurvy Prevention

Scurvy is a condition due to Vitamin C deficiency, and occurs because ascorbic acid is a cofactor necessary for the function of several hydroxylases enzymes. Scurvy can be life threatening and other symptoms include swollen and bleeding gums, loose teeth, slowed healing of wounds and haemorrhaging under the skin.

Collagen Synthesis

The lack of Vitamin C reduces the function of prolyl hydroxylase, which is needed to form hydroxyproline that stabilizes the collagen triple-helix. Collagen is the main structural protein found in muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, blood vessels, skin, intestinal lining and other connective tissues. Collagen lacking hydroxyproline is more fragile and contributes to the clinical manifestations, including vessels wall fragility.

Other Benefits of Vitamin C

In addition to development and maintenance of connective tissues, Vitamin C plays many other roles in the body and has been linked to impressive health benefits. This important micronutrient is a powerful antioxidant, which is critical for keeping the levels of oxidative stress under control.

Vitamin C is required for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It is involved in many body functions, including absorption of iron, normal functioning of the immune system and wound healing.

Moreover, vitamin C is central to the maintenance of healthy gums and cartilage, strong ligaments and tendons, and bone formation.

Preliminary data from studies suggests that Vitamin C might also contribute to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques.

Various enzymes require Vitamin C in order to function properly, and some of them are involved in the production signalling substances required for normal function of brain and nerves.

Vitamin C is critical for an efficient immune response. Histamine is a substance known for its role in causing allergy symptoms.  High doses of vitamin C reduce the production of histamine, and also improves the symptoms and duration of colds.

Research has revealed that Vitamin C is important for eye health, and together with other antioxidants it can delay the progression of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and vision loss.

Vitamin C is needed for the absorption of iron from vegetable sources, which is of particular importance for vegetarians and vegans.

The adrenal glands are among the organs with the highest concentration of vitamin C in the human body.  Vitamin C is a cofactor required for the biosynthesis of different hormones in the adrenal glands, which are essential for normal physiological functions.

However, vitamin C is stored in the body in very small amounts, and it is sensitive to heat, light and air, and can be easily destroyed during the preparation of food, cooking, or storage. Besides, processed food virtually does not contain any Vitamin C, and consequently, sub-clinical deficiency is very common, with devastating effects on health and wellness. Vitamin C supplements help optimizing daily intake of this essential nutrient.

BECOMING NUTRIENT DEFICIENT IS EASY AND MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK

Suboptimal or deficiency of micronutrients is a very common problem, with adverse effects on health and wellbeing. The factor that contribute to inadequate levels of nutrients include:

• Soil impoverishment (less amount of micronutrients)
• Food processing (micronutrients are removed)
• Infection (increased need of micronutrients to combat disease)
• Reduced absorption because of gastrointestinal conditions
• Toxic substances use (they reduce bioavailability and they deplete micronutrients)
• Inflammation (elevated requirements of micronutrients)
• Injury (increased needs for micronutrients)
• Environmental toxicity (they reduce bioavailability and they deplete micronutrients)
• Age (reduced absorption of micronutrients)
• Oxidative stress (increased requirements of micronutrients)
• Alcohol consumption (increased excretion of micronutrients)
• Physical activity (increased need for micronutrients)
• Fighting disease (increased requirements of micronutrients)
• Microbiome alterations (altered absorption of micronutrients)
• Genetic polymorphism (impaired absorption and utilisation of micronutrients)
