Drinking VITAMIN C or ascorbic acid, is a primordial nutrient in food, as it helps the body in the absorption of iron and calcium. Being a water soluble (dissolved in water), which the body releases through the urine, a continuous supply of vitamin C in the diet is needed.
PROPERTIES OF VITAMIN C
1- Vitamin C is an extraordinary antioxidant, prevents the formation of free radicals that form daily, for that reason it is highly recommended to drink aloe vera juice drinkable at any age as it contains traces Vitamin C
2- Contributes to the formation of new collagen. Vitamin C is indispensable for the release of fibroblast growth factors (cells that are responsible for forming collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid at the level of the epidermis).
3- It is anti-inflammatory. Everything that rustles, ages. Free radicals oxidize and cause an inflammatory cascade in our cells. This inflammatory cascade will be responsible for the aging of the cell. That's why antioxidants are so important at the topical and oral levels.
4- It improves and unifies the tone of the skin and brings luminosity, especially through ingestion. Vitamin C inhibits the formation of melanin. As it does? Tyrosine is an amino acid that, thanks to metabolic reactions (including oxidation), will be transformed into melanin. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant by inhibiting this oxidation reaction and thus preventing further melanin production.
5- Antioxidants by adding more energy to the cell, make the skin reflect more light.
The body can not produce vitamin C alone, nor does it store it. Therefore, it is important to include many foods that contain this vitamin in the daily diet.
