What you didn’t know about vitamin C

At this point it’s common knowledge what vitamin C is and the ways in which it contributes to our immunity. This is a hydro soluble vitamin (vitamin which is soluble in water), whose “excess” is excreted through bodily fluids. And this is also the reason why there is no need to take this vitamin with meals for the body to absorb it.

Vitamin C gained its popularity back in the ancient times primarily as the main ingredient of the efficient battle with colds and flus, helping to strengthen immunity and protect cells from oxidative stress. Along with these benefits, vitamin C also appears as a “key figure” in some other processes which are significant for human health, so it’s no wonder that every Revita product contains vitamin C as an active ingredient.

Vitamin C contributes to proper functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function, and helps tackle anxiety. Some studies have demonstrated that thanks to its antioxidative function, this vitamin helps keep the brain young for longer. Since this vitamin plays a vital role in the body and in collagen synthesis, we can draw a conclusion that its total effect on slowing down aging is quite substantial. Collagen is of the utmost importance not only for skin, but also for the joints, being its structural component. The amount of collagen in our body decreases through the years, which has a major effect on our mobility. If we add the contribution of vitamin C to the normal energy metabolism and reduction of fatigue and exhaustion, it’s clear that our regular intake of this vitamin is of major importance.

What we mustn’t forget to highlight is the role of vitamin C in iron absorption. In other words, lots of people have a problem with anaemia and try in various ways to increase their blood count – through intake of more iron-rich foods, using medication, food supplements. And all the while not taking in enough vitamin C, which is crucial for the absorption of ingested iron.

These are just a few of the benefits of powerful vitamin C, but we believe that they are enough to draw your attention to its significance for our body. We’re aware that you can’t eat a kilogram of peppers, tomatoes or oranges, but you can, along with regular consumption of fruit and vegetables, drink a glass or two of an enjoyable, vitamin C drink, just like Revita Orange.
