Vitamin C: Beyond the Immunity Booster Properties!
Nov 2nd 2023
The mystery, necessity and beauty of Vitamin C
Everybody has heard of Vitamin C and why we should take this in the winter for immunity boosting, but surprisingly there are many things we still don’t know about this vital vitamin. Especially about its effects on our skin and the human body. There has been surprisingly little scientific research into this subject. Though the clinical studies that have been carried out have demonstrated that Vitamin C can improve skin tone and texture, hydrate the skin and reduce the signs of aging. It seems that adding Vitamin C to your skincare routine not only brightens your complexion, but also protects against skin damage caused by the sun (UV rays) and air pollution.
Your Skin and Vitamin C
On a basic level, skin is our largest organ. It is our protection against the outside world, especially bacteria, viruses and fungi, which can cause diseases.
Skin has three layers:
- The epidermis, the outermost layer, which provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
- The dermis, providing strength, elasticity and nutritional support for the epidermis.
- The hypodermis, which is made of body fat and connective tissue.
Skin is also the first to show the visible signs of aging. Heathy skin, containing high concentrations of Vitamin C, is a clear indication of a healthy body.
An Essential Role in Many Bodily Functions
What has been scientifically proven beyond doubt: Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It plays an essential role in many bodily functions, including the formation of collagen, the absorption of iron and the proper functioning of the immune system. Add to this is: wound healing and maintaining the bones, teeth and joints.
Interestingly, our body doesn’t produce Vitamin C itself, that’s why we have to get it from outside sources. Fortunately, it’s found in many fruits and vegetables that we all consume daily. Everything from oranges, strawberries and kiwis to broccoli, kale and spinach. And of course, when you have particular needs or deficiencies, there are literally thousands of products you can purchase. (At Natural Healing Tools we suggest the all natural Sonne Vitamin C supplement.)
