Physiological effects
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for humans, which acts as a key antioxidant in the body, i.e. protects cells from harmful oxidation caused by free radicals. A low intake of vitamin C causes fatigue and susceptibility to infection.
Vitamin C participates in the formation of collagen for the normal activity of skin, gums, teeth and blood vessels. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and helps to lower tiredness and exhaustion, contributes iron absorption as well as gives more energy.
Vitamin C contributes the normal functioning of the immune system during and after a heavy exercise.
Zinc regulates the activity of about 200 enzymes. It affects immunity, fertility, skin, hair and nail condition and wound healing.
Zinc and vitamin C are cell-protecting antioxidants and together complement each other’s effect.
Zinc deficiency can increase susceptibility to several pathogens and affect both innate and adaptive immunity. You should also pay attention to zinc intake during pregnancy.
The body needs zinc for the synthesis and secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), division of gonads, growth of testicles, sperm formation and fertility.
Zinc is also needed to cleanse the body of heavy metals and to protect the body against the harmful effects of free radicals.
Berry-flavoured Vitatabs® C 500 mg + Zinc chewable tablets contain bioflavonoids in addition to vitamin C and zinc. They occur in nature together with vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, and support the body’s ability to utilize it.
