Our understanding of vitamin C has come a long way since its discovery in 1928 and the finding that it can prevent and treat scurvy. Not only does vitamin C play a vital role in the maintenance of connective tissues, including wound healing and bone formation, but it also plays a crucial role in proper immune function. With this in mind, it's no surprise that vitamin C is commonly used today to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold.

The importance of this simple nutrient to human health cannot be underestimated. For example, deficiencies in vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, have even been linked to atherosclerosis, heart disease, and anemia. Many people swear by its healing properties for everything from glaucoma to gout to skin health! These applications make sense when you consider that ascorbic acid is also physiologically necessary to activate folic acid, synthesize serotonin, and aid in iron absorption. Its synergy with other compounds in the body is ever-present.

Despite its critical importance for optimal health, the human body cannot synthesize vitamin C, and dietary sources are required to maintain adequate levels. For this reason, Cyto-C from Cyto-Matrix offers 1000 mg of pure ascorbic acid in each capsule for convenient dosing and versatile application in individuals with suboptimal intake.
