Vitamin C participates in many reactions in the body, such as redox process, and plays an important role in biological redox and cell respiration. From the tissue level, the main function of vitamin C is related to the synthesis of interstitial cells, including collagen, the matrix of teeth and bones and the connection between capillary endothelial cells. Therefore, when vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, it is accompanied by collagen synthesis defect, which is characterized by difficult wound healing, tooth formation disorder, capillary damage, a large number of blood stasis spots, and blood stasis spots merge to form ecchymosis.

In addition, vitamin C can also reduce capillary permeability, reduce capillary fragility, increase vascular elasticity, stimulate hematopoietic function and accelerate the growth of red blood cells. It can neutralize toxins, promote antibody production, and enhance the detoxification function and resistance to infectious diseases. Has antihistamine and carcinogenic nitrosamine preventing effects.

Adapt to symptoms

(1) is used to prevent and treat scurvy and gingival bleeding, and can also be used as an auxiliary treatment for various acute and chronic infectious diseases and purple scars.

(2) Vitamin C can promote the chelation of iron by deferoxamine and accelerate the excretion of iron, so it can be used for the treatment of chronic iron poisoning.

(3) When patients receive long-term hemodialysis, or suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, tuberculosis, cancer, ulcer, hyperthyroidism, infection and trauma, women need to supplement appropriate amounts of vitamin C during pregnancy and lactation.

Vitamin e: an important nutrient to keep healthy.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, also known as tocopherol, and is one of the most important antioxidants. The normal breathing, metabolism and other processes of the human body will produce oxidation, and the oxygen in the body will be transformed into a very unstable substance-free radicals. If excessive free radicals are produced, it will destroy healthy cells, accelerate the aging process of the body, and induce cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Vitamin E can effectively eliminate free radicals in the body, protect cell membrane, skin, blood vessels, heart, eyes, liver and breast, and reduce the chance of suffering from diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

A good helper to delay aging

Aging is the "natural enemy" of beauty lovers, and it is also an irresistible natural law for everyone, but as long as it is properly maintained, people can let youth and beauty illuminate a longer life journey. Scientists believe that aging is actually a chronic disease, and the only way to fight aging is to supplement antioxidants. Vitamin E has a comprehensive and efficient antioxidant effect, which can protect polyunsaturated fatty acids on cell membrane from free radicals and maintain the integrity of cell membrane. It is called "cytoprotective factor" by the medical community. In addition, studies have confirmed that vitamin E can slow down the catabolism of protein in mature animals, and also help to reduce the harm of aging to people. Therefore, vitamin E is considered to fundamentally delay aging and prevent the occurrence of some degenerative diseases. It is also called "keeping young vitamin" in Europe and America.

Protect the skin and make it elastic.

Vitamin E can stabilize the protein active structure of cell membrane, promote the normal development of muscles, maintain the elasticity of skin and keep the skin and body alive. Vitamin E can directly help the skin to resist the invasion of free radicals, ultraviolet rays and pollutants, and prevent the skin from losing elasticity due to some chronic or hidden injuries until aging.

Vitamin E can't be synthesized by the human body itself, but must be taken from outside food. Vitamin E is widely found in some animal and plant foods, but it will be greatly destroyed in the process of food processing and edible oil refining. Therefore, if you want to get enough vitamin E, you should eat vitamin E supplements properly.
