Vitamin C has an impressive list of benefits. These include:
An antioxidant is a compound that supports good health by combatting free radicals. If ignored, they can cause a lot of problems. As an antioxidant, vitamin C enhances the body’s natural defenses against free radicals.(1,2)
Vitamin C is well-known for its role in supporting immune system health. Along with its antioxidant benefits, it supports white blood cell production. This helps protect the body against infection. The combination of vitamin C’s antioxidant and immune system benefits gives you the protection you need no matter what time of year it is.(3)
One of the most important functions of vitamin C is its part in the synthesis of collagen. For those that may not know, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It’s the protein used for bone, hair, skin, nails, and connective tissue. Among other benefits, collagen provides structural support to the tissues of the body.(4)
Vitamin C is an important component in dopamine production. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that promotes mood and motivation. Your workout and your day will go better with an enhanced mood. Plus, increased motivation means a greater desire to train hard.(5)
Vitamin C plays a role in the production of nitric oxide. It does this by increasing the activity of the enzyme (endothelial nitric oxide synthase, or eNOS). That’s the enzyme that accelerates nitric oxide production. That means better pumps and improved nutrient delivery to the muscles.(6)
