VITAMIN C 120 tablets

Winter is upon us, and a supplement like Vitamin C can be a valuable aid in getting through the cold season free from the usual flu and colds.

Not only physical health but also sports support!

Ascorbic acid is an excellent antioxidant and immune stimulant, but these factors represent only part of the effects of the product which also finds wide application in the sports field.

Vitamin C is connected to the synthesis of collagen, carnitine, norepinephrine and the metabolism of tyrosine , so let's see how these aspects can have a positive impact on performance and the results associated with it:

• Collagen is a structural protein that represents a large part of the connective tissue, such as cartilage, tendons and ligaments, which form the articular systems that are essential for physical performance, as well as for normal walking;
• carnitine is a compound that transports fat to the oxidation plants and determines a more efficient use of energy, a factor that helps performance especially when the diet is low in carbohydrates;
• norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter that speeds up metabolism and better oxygenates tissues, including muscles;
• Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that is used as a starting substrate for the synthesis of thyroid hormones such as thyroxine.
  

Finally, we remember that ascorbic acid is also essential for transforming folic acid into its biologically active form, which in turn contributes to the synthesis of red blood cells and therefore, albeit indirectly, to oxygen transport, a fundamental factor in endurance performance.

There's one final role for this micronutrient, which can be exploited for athletic purposes. Let's talk about the connection between ascorbic acid and nitric oxide, a compound well-known to bodybuilders.

Vitamin C prolongs the lifetime of nitric oxide in the blood , resulting in a longer-lasting pumping effect, thus contributing positively to the nutritional supply of the muscles during workouts.
