Support for your immune system

Heavy physical exertion puts pressure on your resistance. Vitamin C helps maintain the normal functioning of the immune system and provides additional energy during physical exertion. Vitamin C also supports your energy metabolism, since it helps to release energy from fat, carbohydrates and proteins. Less known, but no less important, is that vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen. This is a substance that strengthens many parts of our body such as muscles, bones and blood vessels.

Research has shown that the amount of vitamin C that a body can absorb daily is limited. This limit is 1000 mg. If we absorb more, this is automatically excreted by the body. Make sure you don't exceed the maximum safe amount (2000 mg per day) as this can cause kidney stones.
