Vitamin C Is Vital for All Ages

From eNewsletter 4/25/2022

DID YOU KNOW that there are numerous reasons outside of the pandemic why vitamin C is a critical supplement nutrient? In a Nutrient study of heathy young persons, 1000 mg. daily of vitamin C supplementation significantly increased subjective feeling of concentration and promoted better cognitive performance requiring sustained attention. We love this study because it shows enhanced performance even in healthy, young subjects. Another critical reason for supplementing with vitamin C is to promote collagen production. A study from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that governmental daily values for vitamin C around the world are woefully low for the amount of vitamin C needed to keep collagen production functioning optimally. Collagen provides integrity for joints, ligaments, skin, and other forms of connective tissue. Results from a Nutrients study indicate that especially under times of high stress, vitamin C significantly regulates neurotransmission, plasticity, and network activity by limiting excitability in the brain. Finally, a British Journal of Nutrition study found that supplementing with vitamin C helps heal chronic foot ulcers quicker.
