Why we need Vitamin C

Here at HealthMarvels, we believe that one of the most important vitamins that are often overlooked by many is Vitamin C.

It is not a surprise, as it has long been known that we humans do not produce ascorbic acid  also known as vitamin C. Therefore, we need to have a regular consumption of this vitamin - via food or tablets - to maintain optimum Health.

Vitamin C is important to our health as it helps increase HDL - high density lipoprotein production. Having good levels of HDL means that you are able to absorb fat located in plaque. In the process it changes from a disc shape to a globular form of HDL, and takes this fat to the liver to be burned.

A low and healthy production of lipoprotein can contribute to wellbeing and longevity. Our liver knows that when there is plenty of ascorbate on board, there is no need for high levels of lipoprotein. Lipoprotein is after all, a repair factor for the cracks in blood vessel walls which come up in the absence of sufficient ascorbate.

Also Vitamin C can decrease cholesterol and triglyceride production in the liver along with the ability to lower blood sugar and insulin requirements.

By relaxing the blood vessel walls, Vitamin C will lower blood pressure when hypertension is present. This will inhibit inappropriate intravascular clot formation - the final and sometimes deadly event in cases of heart attacks and strokes.
