Raw Series Vitamin C is a 100% pure ascorbic acid powdered dietary supplement. Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin that has a number of important functions in the body. The powder form ensures a comfortable and easy application.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a vitamin belonging to compounds with a strong antioxidant activity. Since it is not produced in the human body, it must be regularly supplied in a diet. As a donor compound, vitamin C creates a redox system, as a result of which it can be a cofactor in many important biochemical reactions. Due to its structure, it can take unpaired electrons (free radicals) and neutralize them. Free radicals combated by vitamin C include oxygen and hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen. Unpaired electrons can damage important cellular structures, which can lead to the induction of tumourigenesis. Therefore, vitamin C displays protective functions, supporting the homeostasis of the body.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble compound, acting as the main antioxidant in the water phase, i.e. in the hydrated areas of the body. The vitamin is of particular importance for the ocular and pulmonary tissue, where it protects hemoglobin from peroxidation processes. Vitamin C inhibits smoking-induced elevated markers of lipid oxidation. It demonstrates the ability to neutralize free radicals formed as a side effect of cellular metabolism and as a result of food processing. Vitamin C deficiency leads to the weakening of tissue immunity to free radicals.

Vitamin C is essential for the collagen synthesis. Collagen is one of the major proteins present in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. Responsible for flexibility and durability of the skin, tendons, and cartilage. Vitamin C is a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes that condition intersection of collagen fibers. The Vitamin can also directly enhance the synthesis of collagen. In addition, vitamin C protects the already formed collagen from the harmful effects of free radicals, promoting, among others, healthy and youthful skin and proper functioning of joints.

Vitamin C strengthens the immune system. It has immunomodulatory activity. The compound increases the production of interferon, influences the formation of certain classes of immunoglobulins as well as the activity of granulocytes, natural killer cells and lymphocytes. As a result, the body's resistance to infections and its ability to fight certain diseases increases. Vitamin C is an important part of colds prevention.

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron. Iron occurs on two oxidation levels – II and III. Plant-derived products contain iron on the third oxidation level and is referred to as nonheme iron. Since the nonheme iron is very poorly absorbed by the body, Vitamin C enables its reduction to iron on the second level of oxidation, significantly increasing its absorption in the duodenum. Therefore, in order to avoid dangerous shortages of iron, it is worth combining vitamin C with the products being its source.

In summary, Raw Series Vitamin C supplements the diet with vitamin C. The product is recommended as part of a daily prevention of vitamin C deficiencies, especially in autumn and winter, for individuals leading a stressful lifestyle, smoking cigarettes, people on a vegetable diet, to strengthen the blood vessels and improve skin condition.
