What is vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is considered essential as it cannot be synthesized by the body and it is necessary for us to incorporate it through our diet. This vitamin is widely spread in nature, but it is mainly found in plant-based foods, where it naturally appears in two chemical forms: ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid.
Benefits of vitamin C
Our body uses vitamin C for various functions and processes. The following benefits can be highlighted: - Iron absorption: Vitamin C is involved in the absorption and transportation of iron in our body. - Antioxidant: Our body uses vitamin C to combat free radicals. - Immune system: Our defense cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can impair their response to microorganisms. Vitamin C helps ensure that our defenses are not affected by oxidative stress and can function properly.
Therefore, vitamin C helps protect our defenses from oxidative stress and ensures their proper functioning.
Additionally, vitamin C helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
