ZEC+ - Health+ Vitamin C - 250g

ZEC+ - Health+ Vitamin C or Calcium Ascorbate is a powdered dietary supplement. It is known as acid-free vitamin C or vitamin C in its basic form. Conventional vitamin C or ascorbic acid can cause increased acidity when taken in large doses. Due to its basic nature, calcium ascorbate can be dosed in significantly higher doses as it does not cause gastrointestinal problems. If you have a sensitive stomach or don't want to upset the acid-base balance, calcium ascorbate, a form of vitamin C, is recommended.

An adequate supply of vitamin C is important because it helps to strengthen the immune system, is involved in collagen formation, protects cells from oxidative stress or free radicals and acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin C plays an important role in mineral metabolism and energy metabolism. In addition, it is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones (testosterone) and neurotransmitters, increases the absorption of iron in the body and supports the elimination of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and nickel. Vitamin C is involved in many processes in the body, so it must always be present in sufficient quantities.

A lack of vitamin C can cause a weak immune system and manifest itself in symptoms such as bleeding gums, increased susceptibility to infections, poor wound healing, loss of muscle mass, joint inflammation, diarrhoea, fever and dizziness. Scurvy, a vitamin deficiency disease, can even be fatal, but is rare today because there are many ways to get enough vitamin C in the body - either through daily food intake or with the help of dietary supplements.
