Action of vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most well-known vitamins with a multidirectional effect on the human body. Do you know all its properties? Be sure to read how it works.

One of the most important properties of vitamin C is helping in the proper functioning of the immune system. It is important not only for physically active people that vitamin C contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also helps in the proper functioning of the nervous system and in maintaining proper psychological functions.

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and helps in the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and in protecting cells from oxidative stress. The effect of vitamin C on collagen is also very important, because this vitamin helps in the proper production of collagen to ensure the proper functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, skin, gums and teeth.

Combination of Vitamin C and L-Lysine

One of the most important functions of vitamin C is participation in the biosynthesis of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein of connective tissue that is present in various internal organs and skin as well as in bones and cartilages. Lysine, an exogenous amino acid, is necessary for the synthesis of collagen. The role of vitamin C is to act as a cofactor for the enzymes lysine (and proline), which stabilize the structure of the collagen molecule. As a result of the changes taking place, procollagen is transformed into proper collagen. In addition to stabilizing the collagen molecule, vitamin C also stimulates the production of collagen mRNA by fibroblasts.
