Pure Nutrition C-500 provides pure vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) with synergistic rose hips, rutin, and citrus bioflavonoids in tablet form. Vitamin C is water-soluble micronutrient and one of the most critical antioxidants within the body.
The human body does not produce vitamin C endogenously, making it an essential micronutrient that must be consumed regularly via food or nutritional supplements. In cases where fruit and vegetable intake is limited, supplementing with vitamin C helps people meet their daily needs of this particularly crucial vitamin.
Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins and plays many roles in the body, primarily by acting as an antioxidant. Some common examples of its actions in the body include regulating oxidative stress, producing energy, boosting collagen synthesis, and promoting immune function [1]. While taking vitamin C won’t “cure” an infection or guarantee you will never get sick, it is imperative for the immune system.
Recent research suggests that vitamin C supplements may also enhance cognitive function (e.g. learning and memory), control cortisol levels, and support the liver [2, 3, 4]. Studies have also shown that vitamin C deficiency increases the risk of depression, accelerates neurodegeneration, and hinders cognitive function (by inhibiting catecholamine production) [5, 6].
Rose hips and citrus bioflavonoids are complementary to the actions of vitamin C in the body, further enhancing the benefits of the latter.
