Now C-1000 Vitamin C Tablets For Antioxidant & Immune Support supports both your immune system and your body's antioxidant levels. Vitamin C is an antioxidant ingredient that helps to build and promote immunity by removing toxins from the body. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, can prevent or reduce cell damage produced by free radicals, so preventing disease. It also helps your immune system by supporting a variety of cellular actions in your body's adaptive immunity. Vitamin C promotes the creation of white blood cells called lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection. It also improves the activity of these white blood cells and protects them from potentially dangerous free radicals. Free radicals if not removed by antioxidants, would cause inflammation, cancer, premature aging, and possibly heart disease. Vitamin C helps keep tissues healthy by neutralizing free radicals produced during regular metabolism and exposure to environmental stresses. In addition to all of these benefits, Vitamin C aids in the creation of collagen (a structural protein found in connective tissue), making it crucial for skin, bone, and joint health. Vitamin C is required for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and the absorption of other minerals, including folic acid and iron.
