Vitamin C · 60 capsules

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) fulfills a variety of functions in the human body and is mainly supplemented to support the immune system. In addition, vitamin C is 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?

There is hardly any other vitamin for which there are so many studies that consistently prove that it is important for the correct functioning of your body. 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 the literature and in practice vary between 100 mg and megadoses such as 10,000 mg per day.

However, it is undisputed that vitamin C is involved in ensuring that your immune system functions normally (including during and after training). In addition, vitamin C contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The importance of vitamin C for the normal formation of collagen, which is important for the proper functioning of joints, teeth, gums, skin, bones and blood vessels, should also be emphasized.

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 fulfills the function of a (water-soluble) vitamin. Sufficient vitamin C is essential for optimal health.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects human cells from free radicals and thus supports the immune system. Vitamin C has also been shown to help maintain a normal, functioning immune system during and after exercise, when the body is more vulnerable.

The central role of vitamin C in the correct synthesis of collagen for connective tissue is particularly noteworthy. Vitamin C therefore also contributes to the normal function of cartilage, skin, blood vessels, bones, teeth and gums.

Vitamin C also contributes to normal energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. As it is also significantly involved in carnitine synthesis, this 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 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 the polyphenol "oligomeric proanthocyanidins" (OPC for short) (100 mg per capsule). OPC is also considered a powerful antioxidant. OPCs are an optimal synergistic 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 therefore a vitamin C supplement whose benefits go far beyond those of commercially available vitamin C supplements.
