Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is a water soluble nutrient and is the least stable of the vitamins. It can lose its potency to light, heat and exposure to air and must be consumed daily in the diet as the body does not process or store Vitamin C.
One of the primary functions of Vitamin C is to help in the synthesis of collagen, a protein substance, which forms connective tissue in skin and bones. It is this nutrient that promotes wound and burn healing by helping form connective tissue in the scarred areas.
Vitamin C is also effective in the treatment of the common cold since it fights bacterial infections and some allergy-producing compounds.
Vitamin C works in harmony with components such as Bioflavonoids, Rutin, Hesperidin and Rosehips, which help in the absorption of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids are helpful in strengthening the capillaries, while Rutin is helpful in prevention of recurrent bleeding arising from weakened blood vessels. Most of SWISS NATURAL SOURCES's Vitamin C formulations have these very important C-complex factors to enhance the effectiveness of the Vitamin C.
