Vitamin C and the immune system
The immune system is a multifaceted and complex network of specialised organs, tissues, cells, proteins, and chemicals, which has evolved in order to protect us from a range of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Vitamin C is a big contributor to our immune system and how well it defends us by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system.
Having low levels of vitamin C or a full blown deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. And this can become a vicious cycle as numerous infections can significantly impact on vitamin C levels due to enhanced inflammation and metabolic requirements. So having low levels of vitamin C means our immune system can’t protect us as well as it should, which leads to infections, which in turn, decreases our vitamin C levels further.
Other benefits of vitamin C
Vitamin C isn’t just responsible for helping our immune system, it’s actually a really important vitamin for our overall health. It’s necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues and is involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
The benefits of vitamin C on our overall health include:
- Can reduce your risk of chronic disease
- Can help manage high blood pressure
- Can lower your risk of heart disease
- Can reduce blood uric acid levels and help prevent gout
- Can help prevent iron deficiency
- Can protect your memory
