Now C-1000 Vitamin C Tablets For Antioxidant & Immune Support helps support your immune system as well as body's antioxidant level. Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system. Vitamin C is antioxidant nutrient which help in building and boosting the immunity by eliminating the toxin from the body. Vitamin C as a potent antioxidant, can prevent or slow cell damage caused by free radicals, hence prevent diseases. It also contributes to your immune defense system by supporting multiple cellular functions of your body's adaptive immune systems. Vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection. It also helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures. They can increase the risk of inflammation and various health issues. Free radicals, if not mopped up by the antioxidants would cause inflammation, cancer, early ageing and even heart disease. Vitamin C help maintain healthy tissues by neutralizing these free radicals generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors. In addition to all these benefits, Vitamin C also plays a role in the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. This unique blend includes rose hips and bioflavonoids which work synergistically with vitamin C.
