Short description of Vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) fulfils various functions in the human body and is mainly supplemented to support the immune system. Vitamin C is also an important co-factor for the formation of collagen (connective tissue, teeth, gums, bones, skin and blood vessels).

The high-dose vitamin C capsules (750 mg) are combined with the synergy substrate OPC from grape seed extract, which increases functionality.

What can I expect from Vitamin C?

Hardly any other vitamin has been the subject of so many uniform studies that show that it is important for the proper functioning of your organism. You should therefore avoid a vitamin C deficiency at all costs.

However, there is disagreement about the actual daily requirement of vitamin C. Recommendations in literature and practice vary between 100 mg and mega doses such as 10,000 mg a day.

It is undisputed, however, that vitamin C is involved in ensuring that your immune system functions normally (even during and after training). Vitamin C also helps maintain a normal energy metabolism and reduce fatigue. It is also important to emphasize the importance of vitamin C in normal collagen formation, which is important for the proper functioning of joints, teeth, gums, skin, bones and blood vessels.

Functionality and mode of action of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a collective term for L-(+)-ascorbic acid and its derivatives. Vitamin C is a white, crystalline powder that primarily fulfils the function of a (water-soluble) vitamin. Sufficient vitamin C is essential for optimal health.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect human cells from free radicals and thus the immune system. Even during and after exercise, when the organism is more vulnerable, vitamin C has been shown to help maintain a normal, functioning immune system.

Of particular note is the central role of vitamin C in the correct synthesis of collagen for connective tissue. Vitamin C also contributes to the normal functioning of cartilage, skin, blood vessels, bones, teeth and gums.

Vitamin C also contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduces fatigue. As it is also involved in carnitine synthesis, it explains why vitamin C is also supplemented in diets aimed at fat loss.

Vitamin C also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and the psyche and supports the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.

Peak Vitamin C is optimized with grape seed extract, which is rich in polyphenol "oligomeric proanthocyanidins" (OPC for short) (100 mg per capsule). OPC is also considered a powerful antioxidant. OPCs are an optimal synergy substrate for vitamin C, as they can support the potential of vitamin C by increasing the bioavailability of vitamin C by up to 400% according to studies.

Peak Vitamin C with OPC is thus a vitamin C supplement that goes far beyond the benefits of conventional vitamin C preparations.
