Vitamin C Injections
The incredible Vitamin C is one of the daily health supplements recommended for everyday use because it is the most straightforward and accessible immune booster.
It is remarkable way to help and enhance the immune system and act as an anti-viral and antioxidant.
Where is Vitamin C Found?
Unfortunately, our body does not produce vitamin C, which means that we need to source it from our diet. It is found in citrus fruits and vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach.
While ingesting supplements remains the most current way of ingesting this much-needed vitamin, injectable Vitamin C is an efficient and much faster way to achieve a Vitamin C boost. Injectables are most commonly administered intramuscularly (into the muscle) so they work much faster and are more potent.
Why is Vitamin C important?
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin with important functions in the human body. We need vitamin C for collagen biosynthesis, which slows down skin aging. Collagen is an essential component of connective tissue, which plays a vital role in the elasticity of the skin and wound healing.
Additionally, vitamin C functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and protect us against oxidative stress and damage they would cause. Free radicals speed up the aging process, may contribute to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. Moreover, we need vitamin C for strong immune system defences. What many people don’t know is that vitamin C improves absorption of nonheme iron, the form of iron present in plant-based sources.
