High-Dose Vitamin C (1,350 mg)
C-Vitamin 1.0 is a concentrated ascorbic acid supplement, containing 1 g of Vitamin C per tablet. This water-soluble nutrient is essential in multiple biochemical and physiological processes, including:
-
Collagen biosynthesis: a crucial structural molecule for maintaining the integrity of connective tissues.
-
Bile acid metabolism and steroid synthesis: regulated by adrenal gland activity.
Antioxidant action: Effectively counters the overproduction of free radicals, protecting proteins, lipids, and DNA from oxidative damage.
Role of Vitamin C in Oxidative Stress Control
Vitamin C is one of the main endogenous antioxidants, essential for neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). While free radicals are involved in essential metabolic processes, their excess can induce molecular alterations that compromise cellular and tissue function, potentially promoting degenerative conditions. In situations of increased demand, such as exposure to psycho-physical stress or intense physical activity, C-Vitamin 1.0 provides optimal antioxidant support to:
-
Reduce oxidative stress during prolonged physical exercise;
-
Enhance immune response, improving resistance to infections and flu-like syndromes.
Advanced Physiological Properties of Ascorbic Acid
Beyond controlling free radicals, Vitamin C exerts pleiotropic effects that include:
-
Modulation of collagen metabolism: improves tissue elasticity and mechanical resistance, contributing to better physical performance and joint health.
-
Prolongation of nitric oxide (NO) half-life: ascorbic acid increases NO bioavailability, enhancing endothelium-dependent vasodilation, crucial for cardiovascular support and improved blood flow.
-
Carnitine synthesis: an essential cofactor in lipid metabolism and mitochondrial energy production.
-
Neurochemical support: promotes synthesis of noradrenaline and serotonin, key neurotransmitters in stress and mood regulation.
Nutritional Synergies and Optimization of Efficacy
Combining Vitamin C with other nutrients amplifies its beneficial effects:
-
Acetyl-L-carnitine: synergy in reducing oxidative stress and optimizing energy performance.
-
Omega-3 fatty acids: increase antioxidant efficacy and support cardiovascular health, reducing triglycerides and improving endothelial function.
Administration Guidelines
The recommended dose is 1 tablet per day, corresponding to 1 g of Vitamin C, to be taken preferably with food to optimize absorption.
Precautions: Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. In the presence of pre-existing medical conditions or during pregnancy, consult a healthcare professional before use.
