Vitamin C Powder 500 g

L-ascorbic acid

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential vitamin for humans, which means it is absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies; however, our bodies cannot synthesise or produce it on their own, so it is extremely important that we obtain it through our diet. Vitamin C is found in most fruit and vegetables, so those who regularly consume at least 5 portions of fruit and/or vegetables a day will be getting sufficient amounts. However, it is sometimes advisable to supplement this extremely important vitamin, which is responsible for numerous processes in our body, as it is also an antioxidant that protects our cells from oxidative stress, the effects of which are most commonly visible on our skin. A lack of vitamin C can lead to skin ageing and the formation of wrinkles, as vitamin C is largely responsible for collagen production; it therefore plays an important role in the normal functioning of the skin, as well as the bones and blood vessels. It certainly also has a positive effect on our immune system; by taking it preventatively, we can prevent or speed up recovery from seasonal colds and viral respiratory infections.

The fruit and vegetables on our plates are increasingly depleted of vitamins due to the methods of cultivation, transport and the time that elapses between harvesting and consumption. A vitamin C deficiency can manifest as general physical and mental fatigue, slower wound healing, bleeding, slower recovery from illness, a weakened immune system, and so on. In such cases, it is advisable to ensure an increased intake of vitamins, including through dietary supplements. Smokers, manual workers and athletes generally require much more vitamin C, as do pregnant and breastfeeding women; however, they should always consult a doctor before taking dietary supplements.

Our bodies do not store vitamin C, so it is essential to eat fruit and vegetables daily and, where necessary, take dietary supplements containing L-ascorbic acid.

Why choose vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid powder?

Our pure L-ascorbic acid is, in fact, the natural form of vitamin C, which can be of natural origin or synthetic, but both forms are so similar – in terms of structure and efficacy – that experts consider them equivalent (which is not the case for synthetic D-ascorbic acid, which the body cannot synthesise and is therefore not used in dietary supplements).

Taking L-ascorbic acid or vitamin C will therefore help (the following benefits of vitamin C have also been endorsed by the EFSA, or European Food Safety Authority):

💚 to better iron absorption, which is essential for healthy blood;
💚 to improved collagen formation and, consequently, the normal functioning of bones, skin, teeth, blood vessels, cartilage and gums;
💚 to normal psychological function;
💚 to protecting cells from oxidative stress;
💚 improved functioning of the immune system;
💚 to reducing tiredness and fatigue.

The powdered dietary supplement is also convenient to use, and the prepared drink is tasty and refreshing.
