No 1 in the supplement game

Vitamin C was not only the first vitamin to be “discovered” in the early 20th century, it was the reason that the idea of “vitamins” was proposed at all.

Vitamin C was not only the first vitamin to be “discovered” in the early 20th century, it was the reason that the idea of “vitamins” was proposed at all.

Whilst doing research into the disease scurvy and its treatment, vitamin C was discovered and a whole new branch of science started. As it is present in almost all fruit and vegetables, it's easy to eat enough foods containing the vitamin to meet one's needs.

Vitamin C is the most wonderful and versatile of vitamins and affects almost every part of your body. Whether your teeth are feeling loose and sore, your joints and bones are achey or you suffer from varicose veins, it will help.

It strengthens the collagen fibres that make up tendons, ligaments, veins and arteries and helps to form good strong bones.

When you're feeling low and a bit down, it's a good remedy to reach for as well. Vitamin C is plays a role in the energy production cycle and the chemical processes producing dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter in the body.

It can also help boost mood by increasing the production of tyrosine, an amino acid the body needs for a stable mood and thyroid function.

Acting as an anti-oxidant, vitamin C is thought to help clean heavy metals out of the system and can be used intravenously for this during cancer therapy. It also helps to generally “clean house” in the circulatory system, removing deposits and debris that will later cause trouble. Also very effective as an immune system enhancer, it boosts white cells and their disease-fighting abilities and strengthens cell membranes to help fight off viruses.

If there is one supplement anyone should take on a regular basis, vitamin C is it. No matter what your age or health, a little bit extra will make whole lot of difference in the long run!

Please direct any queries to Dr Marianne Baasch (Grahamstown homoeopath) at 073 779 9286.
