Elexir Pharma C-vitamin Time Release 1000 mg 60 tabletter

A vitamin with many functions

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that humans cannot produce themselves, we must supply it through our diet. Vitamin C has a variety of functions in the body and is of great help in many processes. The vitamin is involved in the formation of collagen in connective tissue, but it also increases the absorption of iron in the body, which is important for energy levels. Vitamin C is a very important component for the immune system to function normally. Vitamin C also protects the body against oxidative stress caused by so-called free radicals. Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that are formed when the body burns oxygen. Certain things increase the production of free radicals, such as stress, exercise, illness and smoking. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing these reactive oxygen species.

Vitamin C is needed to form collagen

In the human body, the bones of the skeleton are held together by joints that can move against each other, which makes the entire body mobile. What makes the joints more resistant to wear and tear and that they have a surface that allows them to slide against each other is cartilage. Cartilage consists largely of the most important protein in humans, collagen. Collagen forms fiber structures that provide stability in the skin – the body's largest organ. Over the years, the amount of collagen decreases as the body's own production decreases, which makes the skin more flabby. If extra collagen is supplied, the aging effect is slowed down. In order for the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, skin and blood vessels, Vitamin C is needed above all.

What is Time Release?

Time release stands for slow release over time and can be an advantage when it comes to water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C. In our C vitamin Time release, the raw material is microgranulated, i.e. distributed into small granules that dissolve slowly in the body. This allows for better absorption as water-soluble vitamins are only absorbed in a certain amount at one time, the excess is then urinated out. With a dose of 1000 mg per tablet, the body receives a constant and slow supply of vitamin C for up to 8 hours.
