Description: Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is a water soluble nutrient and is the least stable of the vitamins. It can lose potency to light, heat and exposure to air and must be consumed daily in the diet as the body does not store or process Vtaimin C. One of the primary functions of Vitamin C is to maintain collagen, a protein subsatnce, which forms connective tissue in skin and bones. It is this nutrient which promotes wound and burn healing by helping form connective tissue in the scarred areas. Vitamin C is also effective in the treatment of the common cold since it fights bacterial infections and some allergy-producing compounds. Vitamin C has also been foung valuable in minimizing the effects of environmental pollution, including carbon monoxide and lead by providing more oxygen to the cells through its anti-oxidant qualities. Vitamin C works in harmony with componets such as bioflavinoids, Rutin, Hesperidin and Rose Hip, which helps in the absorption of Vitamin C. Bioflaviniods, for example, are helpful in strengthening the capillaries while Rutin is helpful in prevention of recurring bleeding arising from weakened blood vesels. Most of Swiss Herbal's Vitamin C formulations have this very important C-comples factor to enhace the effectiveness of the Vitamin C.
