BARRIER FUNCTION

• The body’s first line of defense, the physical barrier created by the skin, relies on vitamin C.
• Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, an important type of connective tissue.* Collagen creates the structural framework of the skin to promote skin integrity, helping to effectively keep unwanted substances from entering the body.

ANTIOXIDANT HEALTH

• Vitamin C’s important role in immune health does not stop at the surface.* During the initial stages of the immune response, white blood cells of the innate immune system start the inflammatory response as one means of dealing with unwelcomed visitors.
• In a state of inflammation, an abundance of free radicals can be produced.
• Free radicals are unstable compounds that can interfere with a normal cell’s ability to function optimally.
• Free radicals cannot differentiate between your own healthy cells and the target of your immune system so they can end up damaging your own cells.
• Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals. It also helps to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E to their active state to maintain antioxidant support.
