Pharma Natural Vitamin C 500 mg Tablets

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient for humans. It is a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes. Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections due to enhanced inflammation and metabolic requirements. Vitamin C appears to be able to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections.

Vitamin C supplements have been found to lower blood pressure in both healthy adults and adults with existing high blood pressure. Vitamin C supplements have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. These supplements may lower heart disease risk factors, including “bad” LDL cholesterol and blood triglycerides. Vitamin C-rich foods and supplements have been linked to reduced blood uric acid levels and lower risk of gout. Vitamin C can improve the absorption of iron that is poorly absorbed, such as iron from meat-free sources. It may also reduce the risk of iron deficiency.
