| Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, has many benefits.
Vitamin C supports a variety of the body's structures and is essential to the formation of bones
and teeth. Since children (and adults) cannot manufacture their own vitamin C due to a lack of an enzyme, this is why vitamin C
is known as an essential nutrient.
Children need to consume it through foods rich in the vitamin or supplement it within their diet.
Vitamin C is most commonly known for aiding in the function of the immune system.
Maintaining healthy vitamin C levels during the cold and flu season may keep kids
healthier during the time when the immune system may be weaker. Taking extra
vitamin C at the onset of a cold may help kids get back to their normal self in much
less time that usual.
Vitamin C boosts immune system functions, helps the body fight stress and enhances
collagen production (needed for healthy skin, bones, teeth & connective tissue).
Vitamin C is required for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body, including
tissue & growth repair, adrenal gland function, & the production of anti-stress
hormones. Studies have shown that Vitamin C supplement can reduce the
symptoms of asthma & reduce LDL levels "low density lipoproteins" which are the
bad cholesterol in the body.*
Vitamin C is involved in the manufacture of carnitine, a substance necessary
for the production of energy from fatty acid in cells. It is necessary for the
activity of the enzyme system, which metabolizes drugs in the body. It is also
necessary for iron absorption and plays a role in the conversion of cholesterol to
bile acids for excretion.*
Vitamin C is important in the synthesis of adrenal hormones and is depleted from the adrenal
glands in times of stress.*
Vitamin C is critical to childrens immune function and is a powerful anti-oxidant. Vitamin C has been
shown to lower the risk for cancers of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, colon and lungs.*
