Vitamin C - Ascorbic acid - is involved in oxidation-reducing processes occurring in the cells of the body. It affects the transformation of aromatic amino acids, the metabolism of thyroxine and the synthesis of catecholamines, steroid hormones and insulin. He participates in the processes of Glucose phosphorylation and glycogen synthesis. It is necessary for the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and thus for the proper functioning of connective tissue and ossification processes. Facilitates the absorption of iron and participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin. It has a stimulating effect on the immune system of the body, probably by affecting the synthesis of Interferon and antibodies. Vitamin C is well absorbed from the digestive tract and penetrates into the tissues. He achieves particularly high concentrations in white blood cells and platelets. It is excreted in the urine, mainly unchanged and partially in the form of oxalates.
