Introduction
The impact of vitamin C deficiency on the organism
Vitamin C is undoubtedly one of the most important vitamins.
Ascorbic acid is vital for humans and is often considered necessary
underestimated
Official recommendations are, according to assumptions of scientific sources such as the study
of Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, set too low.
Finally, it is involved, among other things, in some metabolic processes, presumably according to
Scientists on more than 15,000 and it is known for its immune-strengthening effect.
It neutralizes free radicals, which are waste products of human metabolism
apply.
Together with other trace elements like zinc, it protects the cells from oxidation.
It is supposed to reduce susceptibility to colds by boosting the immune defense but also
Prevent allergies.
It is one of the sensitive vitamins and is quickly destroyed by heat and light.
Most living beings are able to produce from glucose through two intermediate steps
to produce endogenous vitamin C. This ability very likely was lost due to a
gene mutation lost. This hereditary damage millions of years ago ultimately led to
humans depend on external supply.
A greatly increased vitamin C requirement exists, among other things, during growth, during
pregnancy and breastfeeding, with long-term use of aspirin, estrogen-containing preparations
such as the pill, cortisone or proton pump inhibitors as well as in stress situations (oxidative
stress) and for smokers.
The recommended intake for adults per day according to D-A-CH reference values is 95 mg for
women and 110 mg for men.
People with increased stress and free radicals from cigarette smoke in
Smokers are recommended an intake of 135 mg per day or 155 mg per day.
Pregnant women from the fourth month of pregnancy should have a daily intake of 105 mg
achieve.
Smokers have higher metabolic losses, which leads to lower vitamin C concentrations
lead to in the blood.
Some groups of people have an increased risk of side effects from too high
Vitamin C intake.
People predisposed to urinary or kidney stones, kidney damage or
Hemochromatosis, should not exceed a dosage of up to 1000 mg per day to
to avoid harmful side effects, as excess vitamin C is sorted out by the kidneys
and excreted through the urine.
The absorption of vitamin C takes place through the walls of the small intestine.
With the help of transport proteins, they enter the bloodstream and are distributed in the body and in the
stored in the brain, spleen, adrenal gland, and in the lens of the eye.
During deficiency states, vitamin C is increasingly stored by the brain to
to maintain brain functions.
However, this can lead to organ damage in the long run, as the organs are denied the vitamin
will.
Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C can possibly be stored in the body for days to weeks
are stored and used in the body for months, fat-soluble vitamins.
How much of the vitamin is ultimately absorbed by the organism depends on the
individual needs. Sick people and people with already known deficiencies require
generally more vitamin C to maintain the vitamin C level in the blood than people
with a balanced diet.
The vitamin C content in the respective foods varies depending on the mode of transport,
storage conditions as well as preparation.
During the processing of food, external influences such as high heat and water solubility
of the vitamin itself are lost.
The extended scope of action also includes the reduction of fatigue, regeneration of
Vitamin E and improved function of the body's immune defense.
Furthermore, it is said to positively influence the function of the nervous system and the psyche and
supports collagen formation, which is important for the normal function of bones, cartilage, blood vessels
as well as teeth and gums.
The vitamin improves iron absorption by up to four times.
It protects cells from premature aging processes and can improve the skin's appearance.
The all-rounder is also important for cholesterol and fat metabolism, for the formation
of hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain and inhibits the formation of cancer-causing
nitrosamines during the digestion process.
Since humans cannot produce ascorbic acid themselves, it is essential to supply the body
to supply this vitamin.
If you consume too little of it permanently, the so-called disease scurvy develops.
Scurvy was then one of the most common causes of death among sailors during their periods
had no access to vitamin C-containing foods at sea.
Even in today's age, scurvy still occurs.
Affected infants suffer from “Möller-Barlow syndrome,” whose cause, however, is
The same applies.
Vitamin C deficiency manifests, among other things, in bleeding gums, inflammation of the gums
up to tooth loss, impaired wound healing, susceptibility to infections, joint pain, inflammation
from joints, muscle wasting, impaired digestion, fatigue, exhaustion to
Depression and heart failure.
However, all these symptoms can also have other causes.
So-called calcium ascorbate is vitamin C enriched with calcium.
Calcium ascorbate is extremely stomach-friendly and supplies the body with bioavailable vitamin
C.
Calcium ascorbate is better tolerated than pure vitamin C despite a high concentration of 83% ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid, this applies especially to people with sensitive stomachs who do not tolerate pure ascorbic acid
not well tolerated.
Unlike conventional vitamin C preparations, it is pH-neutral and does not disturb the
neutral properties do not affect the acid-base balance, as it is free of acid.
Calcium ascorbate ensures better stomach tolerance, allowing it to be dosed higher
can be taken as pure ascorbic acid.
Another advantage of the combination of calcium ascorbate and vitamin C is the high
Bioavailability.
As a result, the sensitive vitamin remains longer in the body.
This allows more ascorbic acid to be used for biochemical processes in the body.
In this way, the cells are continuously supplied with small amounts over a longer period of time.
supplied.
Ascorbic acid requires calcium to be effective in the body. If vitamin C is taken without this
When absorbed in combination, it withdraws the necessary calcium from the bone tissue.
To prevent possible damage to the bones, we at Euro Nutrador offer a compound with
calcium-supplemented ascorbic acid.
Our retard capsules are a unique, synergistically effective combination of vitamin C
and calcium ascorbate, which achieve significantly higher bioavailability than conventional
Vitamin C preparations.
Our high-quality preparation contains calcium ascorbate with high bioavailability.
At the same time, it has the advantage of being a basic compound that is stomach-friendly and therefore better
is more tolerable than the pure form of ascorbic acid.
For optimal supplementation, we recommend 1 capsule before or during a meal.
Our calcium ascorbate is the calcium salt of ascorbic acid.
This is a food additive with EU approval (E 302).
This substance is of natural origin and can be used without concern.
Our high quality standards are important to us. For this, we have our products regularly tested in
Laboratory tested for pharmaceutical quality.
1 capsule of Vitamin C from Euro Nutrador B.V. contains: 1000 mg calcium ascorbate

Cellulose
Side effects: at higher doses, calcium ascorbate can cause bloating.
Please note: dietary supplements do not replace a balanced and
varied diet. Please store the product in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of small children.
Together with other trace elements like zinc, it protects the cells from oxidation.
It is intended to reduce susceptibility to colds by boosting the immune defense but also to prevent allergies.
