Vitamin C and Your Skin
I have recently had some great experiences with Vitamin C, and thought I’d share what I think is a very important vitamin for you to take daily to help improve and/or maintain the texture and elasticity of your skin. Vitamin C is a cheap vitamin that is often underestimated because of it’s simplicity and over exposure, including the fact that many think it helps prevent colds and flus, and the medical establishment has “debunked” this theory, although I still feel it has merit.
Vitamin C is a great antioxidant, and it is one that needs to be replenished on a daily basis. We all would like to say we eat our daily fruits and veggies that would give us more than enough vitamin C every day, but many times this isn’t true, so a supplement that is well absorbed into the body is a good alternative, although of course, no pill is ever as good as the whole food istelf, but in this world today we need supplements because we can’t always ensure we get adequate amounts of each nutrient daily.
Vitamin C is one that we can take every day, and it will not result in a toxic buildup in the fat cells, like the ones that do not get flushed from the system every day. I take a supplement called Ester-C because I personally believe that after all the reading I’ve done on Vitamin C and it’s health benefits, that this form of vitamin C is the most well absorbed and utilized form of the vitamin available.Â
Another form is ascorbic acid, and it’s been hotly debated whether this form or the ester form of vitamin C has the same antioxidant capabilities as the other, so that’s really a matter of choice and judgement to the person taking the supplement – of course after doing all their own homework and drawing their most logical and comfortable conclusion.Â
We all know that antioxidants are great for a variety of reasons for the health of our bodies, and that it’s also great for our skin as it is used in some of the top anti acne supplements like Acnezine, which is essentially an antioxidant based acne formula, but adding vitamin C every day to your regimen is something that not only can help ensure a long, healthy and glowing life for your skin, but can also help prevent cancer, illness and other diseases in conjunction with an otherwise healthy lifestyle.
