Our understanding of vitamin C has come a long way since its discovery in 1928 and the finding that it can prevent and treat scurvy. Not only does vitamin C have a primary role in the maintenance of connective tissues, including wound healing and bone formation, but it also plays a crucial role in proper immune function. With this in mind, it is no surprise that vitamin C is commonly used today to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold.
The importance of this simple nutrient for human health cannot be understated. For example, deficiencies of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, have even been linked to atherosclerosis, heart disease and anemia. Many individuals swear by its healing properties for numerous conditions from glaucoma to gout to skin health! These applications all make sense when we consider that ascorbic acid is also physiologically needed to activate folic acid, synthesize serotonin and aid in the absorption of iron. Its synergism with other compounds in the body is ever-present.
In spite of its utter importance for optimal health, the human body cannot synthesize vitamin C and dietary sources are required to maintain adequate levels. For this reason, Cyto-Matrix’s Cyto-C offers 1000mg of pure ascorbic acid in each capsule for convenient dosing and diverse application in those with suboptimal intake.
