Vitamin C • Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen and is an important structural element of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bones. • It also plays an important role in the synthesis of norepinephrine (an important neurotransmitter). In addition, it is needed for the synthesis of carnitine (transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria). • Latest research shows that it is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol into bile acids, which affect blood cholesterol levels and are responsible for the appearance of gallstones. • Vitamin C increases the bioavailability of iron from foods, enhancing the intestinal absorption of inorganic iron. • It is a highly effective antioxidant and protects against both free radicals and reactive oxygen species that are created during normal metabolism. • It has the ability to regenerate vitamin E. A recent study in smokers found that C regenerates vitamin E from its oxidized form. • It also stimulates the production and function of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, lymphocytes and phagocytes. • Protects the integrity of immune system cells. Neutrophils, monocytes, phagocytes, and lymphocytes accumulate vitamin C in high concentrations and protect these cell types from oxidative damage. When “invaders” are present, phagocytes release superoxide radicals, hypochlorous acid, and other oxidants. These reactive oxygen species kill the “invaders” but in the process also self-oxidize. Vitamin C , through its antioxidant capacity, protects white blood cells from self-oxidation by enhancing their glutathione levels. • Many randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have shown that vitamin C improves vasodilation in people with cardiovascular problems.
