Ingredients and their properties

• Ascorbic acid: one of the most studied antioxidants, involved in a wide range of metabolic processes. This nutrient plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, is involved in collagen synthesis, activates a number of enzymes, and promotes cholesterol utilization in the liver. Vitamin C is also necessary for the metabolism of amino acids and hormones, and its deficiency negatively affects the condition of the skin, blood vessels and the immune system.

Key Benefits: Vitamin C, The Vitamin Shoppe, 1000 mg, 300 Softgels

Vitamin C from The Vitamin Shoppe in a package of 300 softgels is a highly concentrated form of ascorbic acid, intended for long-term use. The product is designed for daily use for 10 months at the standard dosage.

• Long-term course of administration: one package contains 300 capsules, which corresponds to 300 days of use with a single dose per day. This form is ideal for regular and stable use without the need for frequent repeat purchases.

• High dosage: each serving contains 1000 mg of vitamin C, which corresponds to the increased daily requirement of the body under conditions of intense stress, limited nutrition or seasonal changes.

• Participation in collagenogenesis: ascorbic acid is involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, which is necessary for the formation of skin, blood vessels, cartilage, gums and connective tissue.

• Participation in iron metabolism: vitamin C is able to act on the bioavailability of non-heme iron obtained from plant sources by restoring the trivalent form to the divalent one.

• Functional compatibility: vitamin C successfully combines with zinc, vitamin D, rutin and quercetin, due to which it can be used in combination nutritional support protocols.

• Counteracting oxidative stress: As an antioxidant, vitamin C is involved in neutralizing free radicals that are formed under the influence of stressors, UV radiation, air pollution and intense physical activity.

• Participation in metabolic reactions: Ascorbic acid is necessary for the functioning of many enzymes involved in the synthesis of carnitine, norepinephrine and tyrosine, as well as in biotransformation reactions.

• Support of tissue metabolism: Vitamin C is involved in cell renewal, tissue growth and regenerative processes, especially in the epithelium and connective structures.

Properties: Vitamin C, The Vitamin Shoppe, 1000 mg, 300

Properties	Description
Antioxidant activity	Ascorbic acid neutralizes free radicals, reducing the level of oxidative damage in cells and guaranteeing tissue integrity.
Participation in collagen synthesis	Vitamin C is necessary for the hydroxylation of proline and lysine - key amino acids involved in the formation of strong collagen fibers in the skin and blood vessels.
Support of enzymatic systems	Vitamin C is involved in the activity of many enzymes, including dopamine beta-hydroxylase, which acts on the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the functioning of the adrenal glands.
Regulation of vascular tone	Ascorbate promotes the activation of nitric oxide and other signaling molecules that are involved in the regulation of vascular lumen and adaptation to physical activity.
Participation in the synthesis of hormones	Vitamin C is necessary for the production of corticosteroids and catecholamines - important hormones involved in stress reactions and metabolism.
Formation of connective tissue	Ascorbate is responsible for the stability and strength of tissues, forming stable structures in cartilage, ligaments and skin.
Regeneration antioxidants	Vitamin C restores active forms of vitamin E, promoting their reuse in the oxidation defense system.
Participation in the conversion of cholesterol	Ascorbic acid is involved in the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, thereby acting on fat metabolism.
Amino acid metabolism	Vitamin C activates enzymes involved in the synthesis of carnitine and the conversion of tryptophan, acting on energy metabolism and the synthesis of serotonin.
Support for the cellular barrier	Ascorbate is involved in strengthening the epithelial layer of the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract, stabilizing barrier function against pathogens.

Benefit Research: Vitamin C, The Vitamin Shoppe, 1000 mg, 300 Softgels

The Vitamin Shoppe's Vitamin C provides 1000 mg of ascorbic acid per softgel, making it a convenient option for meeting your body's needs for a water-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant activity. Ascorbate is involved in the regulation of immune responses, collagen synthesis, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. International studies confirm the importance of regular vitamin C intake for various physiological functions, especially under conditions of intense exercise or a deficiency of antioxidants in the diet.

Research

• The effect of vitamin C on immune cells and signaling proteins: During the experiment, scientists studied how vitamin C intake affectsphagocyte activity, interferon production, and the overall reactivity of the innate immune response. It was found that the addition of ascorbic acid is associated with increased cellular activity without signs of dysregulation. Improved recovery after the immune response was also observed.

• High-dose vitamin C in sports recovery programs: This study assessed the role of vitamin C in the recovery of athletes after intense physical activity. Volunteers receiving 1000 mg per day demonstrated a decrease in the level of fatigue markers and stabilization of biochemical parameters associated with muscle stress. Vitamin C has proven to be an important element of the antioxidant link in sports protocols.

Expert opinions

• Dr. Jordan Martinez, MD (nutriceutist and internist):“I recommend vitamin C in the form of 1000 mg capsules as an all-around support for antioxidant protection. This dosage is well suited to the modern environment - intense exercise, oxidative stress, and a poor diet.”

• Dr. Suzanne Harper, PhD (biochemist, nutritionist):“Ascorbic acid is one of the most researched vitamins. In my practice, vitamin C is useful when there is high metabolic demand, especially during recovery or when there is a need to stimulate endogenous enzymatic reactions."
