The Amazing Regenerative Properties of Vitamin C

Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is a water soluble vitamin. Unlike most other mammals, our bodies do not have the ability to make
Vitamin C, so we must obtain this important vitamin through our diet. 

The University of Leicester in England reports the discovery of DNA repair in Vitamin C users. Gene expression and DNA repair in damaged dermal fibroblasts (human skin cells) reveals beneficial skin healing and decrease in wound damage expression. Vitamin C is also a co-factor in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinehprine. Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function.

Carnitine is essential for fat mobilization into mitochondria. Vitamin C is required for the creation of carnitine. The mitochondria are our bodies energy factories which convert fat to fuel.

Who wouldn't want better brain function, increased energy, decreased fat accumulation and improved wound healing?

Please consult our Board Certified Regenerative Medicine/
