Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is one of the most important water-soluble vitamins for our body, which cannot accumulate inside our body and must be ingested with food. The precious vitamin C is absorbed in the intestine and is distributed to the various organs and districts where it will carry out its many functions. First of all, its antioxidant power, which gives it a protective effect against oxidative stress, free radicals and cellular aging in general as well as regenerating other antioxidants itself (such as vitamin E and glutathione).

It is also involved in numerous physiological mechanisms: it is a cofactor of many enzymatic reactions involved in the synthesis of collagen, a very important protein in the structure of the various tissues of the body (see skin, bones, ligaments, muscles, vascular tissue...), of various neurotransmitters, including dopamine and norepinephrine, bile acids, carnitine, and steroid hormones; key function in supporting the immune system, in strengthening our natural defenses. Monocytes and neutrophils, fundamental cells for the immune system, thanks to the high content of vitamin C are "protected" from the damage of the radicals, and are able to block the activation of NF-kB (transcription factor responsible for the inflammatory cascade) and migrate to sites of infection where they will perform their function.

On lymphocytes, vitamin C allows their correct differentiation, maturation and functioning. It plays an important role in the intestinal absorption of "non-heme" (vegetable) iron which is more difficult to assimilate, and intervenes in the synthesis of red blood cells, responsible for correct oxygenation of the organism; reduces the toxicity of some metals (see nickel, lead, cadmium) and inhibits the synthesis of carcinogenic compounds such as nitrosamines to which we are exposed/introduced; VITAMIN C COMPLEX is a new Yamamoto Research supplement based on various forms of Vitamin C and bioflavonoids which enhance its absorption, entirely of natural origin, consisting of: PUREWAY-C, Rosa Canina, Acerola and Rutin. PUREWAY-C is an innovative patented vitamin C of 100% natural origin, clinically tested, which combines this vitamin with the same vegetable fatty acids and citrus bioflavonoids which act as "carriers" of vitamin C and allowing it to have exceptional stability, favoring maximum intestinal absorption and its vascular distribution. This in a completely safe and well-tolerated manner at the gastrointestinal level, the efficacy of which is exact from the citric bioflavonodes, which act as "co-factors" of vitamin C itself, making it even more effective for the physical well-being of the body. To validate the effectiveness of this innovative version of Vitamin C with very high absorption, COMPLESSO VITAMINA C makes use of the further support of other natural sources with high bioavailability of this vitamin thanks to acerola and dog rose. How to use: take 1 tablet a day with water.
