Vitamin C has been used as an oral supplement for promoting good health, particularly immune health, for over 60 years. But lately, experts have begun to doubt the traditional benefits of Vitamin C and raise some interesting questions.
Some research trials show convincing results, while others show no efficacy at all. Dispelling some of the dilemma, a recent study sheds an impressive light on another positive aspect of having Vitamin C incorporated into your diet. In a research study conducted by Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital and the affiliated Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, researchers noted that 20 percent of their acute-care patients had extremely low levels of Vitamin C. Subclinical deficiencies of Vitamin C are associated with psychological abnormalities. The study published in Nutrition (May 2010) noted that researchers observed a significant, rapid, and statistical improvement in emotional state by administering Vitamin C supplements to their patients.1 More Vitamin C Health Benefits Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin needed by the body to form collagen in the bones, cartilage muscle and blood vessels. There is some evidence from research that also suggests that Vitamin C is necessary for the effective absorption of iron in the body. Vitamin C is known as an antioxidant vitamin because it helps protect cellular health. As an antioxidant, its application is being studied for its protective effect against certain degenerative ailments. 2 According to the National Institutes of Health, Vitamin C is known to “play an important role in maintaining proper immune function” and shows possible efficacy for treating the common cold. As an anti-aging agent (topical application) it may help reduce wrinkles caused by sun exposure. There is, however, insufficient evidence to prove whether Vitamin C may benefit cardiovascular health, but studies show it may help support healthy blood pressure. Healthy intake of Vitamin C helps to maintain bone health, skin, eye and lung health.3 High-Quality Vitamin Manufacturing For supplement companies, these are all great reasons to add a high-quality Vitamin C supplement to your product line, or improve the quality of your existing Vitamin C supplement.
