Vitamin C
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is one of the most discussed and well-known vitamins, for the beneficial properties it provides to the human body. Many animals can synthesize vitamin C by themselves. Instead, humans must obtain it from their diet. Foods rich in vitamin C are many vegetables (cucumber, artichokes, onions, etc.) and fruits, especially citrus fruits (orange, lemon, acerola, etc.).
In the past vitamin C was used to prevent and treat the disease scurvy. Today it is the number one choice for colds but it protects our body in many different ways. So some of the properties of vitamin C are the following:
- Strengthens the immune system . It increases the production of lymphocytes that deal with foreign invaders in our body, such as bacteria and viruses.
- It is necessary for the synthesis of collagen . It is also an important structural element of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bones.
- It is needed for the synthesis of carnitine.
- It increases the bioavailability of iron from food, enhancing the intestinal absorption of inorganic iron.
