Vitamin C, another ally for winter.

Vitamin C, important for the immune system.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that cannot be synthesised by the body and has very important functions in our organism.

As it is a water-soluble molecule, excess amounts of the vitamin are eliminated in the urine. In any case, even if the body has a small reserve, it must be taken regularly to avoid deficiency.

The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) recognises it as having multiple health-promoting properties:

• Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels.
• Contributes to normal collagen formation for normal bone function.
• Contributes to normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function.
• Contributes to normal collagen formation for normal gum function.
• Contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function.
• Contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of teeth.
• Contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to normal psychological function.
• Contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
• Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Helps to regenerate the reduced form of vitamin E.
• Improves iron absorption.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
