Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, an important type of connective tissue.** Collagen creates the structural framework of the skin to promote skin integrity, helping to effectively keep unwanted substances from entering the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANTIOXIDANT HEALTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C’s important role in immune health does not stop at the surface.** During the initial stages of the immune response, white blood cells of the innate immune system start the inflammatory response as one means of dealing with unwelcomed visitors. In a state of inflammation, an abundance of free radicals can be produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFree radicals are unstable compounds that can interfere with a normal cell’s ability to function optimally. Free radicals cannot differentiate between your own healthy cells and the target of your immune system so they can end up damaging your own cells. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals.** It also helps to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E to their active state to maintain antioxidant support.**\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHITE BLOOD CELL SUPPORT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to supporting skin integrity and antioxidant health, vitamin C is essential for the optimal functioning of white blood cells.** During an immune response, white blood cells go through a process of rapid division and multiplication. Vitamin C supports the production of the important B and T cells of the adaptive immune response.** It also helps special types of cells of the innate immune system called phagocytes do their job, engulfing unwanted compounds.**\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Supplement with Vitamin C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults is between 75-90 mg per day depending on gender, but some experts recommend a daily intake of at least 200 mg\/day for healthy individuals.\u003csup\u003e9\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most other animals, humans cannot synthesize their own vitamin C so it must be obtained from dietary sources. As a water soluble vitamin, vitamin C dissolves easily in water but cannot be readily store in the body. This means adequate amounts of vitamin C should be consumed every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is found in foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, cantaloupes, raw vegetables and potatoes. Unfortunately, in today’s busy world, many of us do not consume as many fruits and vegetables as we should. National survey data indicates Americans are not meeting the recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake, resulting in a significant prevalence of about 40% of Americans with inadequate dietary intake of vitamin C.\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e Furthermore, vitamin C is sensitive to heat so boiling and other cooking methods can deplete the natural vitamin C content of foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDaily intake of 200 mg supports respiratory health.\u003csup\u003e**\u003c\/sup\u003e Note that while this amount provides adequate support for most healthy individuals, actively multiplying and dividing white blood cells may have even higher requirements of vitamin C.\u003csup\u003e**\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8.
