The role of vitamin C and beauty methods

Vitamin C is a nutrient needed by the human body, so its supplementation needs to be appropriate, otherwise it will cause great harm to human health. Once the human body lacks this element, it will have a great impact on all aspects of the human body, so this point also needs attention. Vitamin C has many functions and beauty methods, and it is also very helpful for beauty.

So what are the functions and beauty-preserving methods of vitamin C? Many people don’t know much about it, so when choosing it, you should also pay attention to its usage. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can use it with confidence when choosing it.

The role of vitamin C and beauty methods:

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C in food is absorbed by the upper small intestine. Once absorbed, it is distributed to all water-soluble structures in the body. The normal adult's body has approximately 1500 mg of vitamin C in its metabolically active pool, with a maximum storage peak of 3000 mg of vitamin C. Under normal circumstances, most of the vitamin C is metabolized into oxalic acid in the body or combines with sulfuric acid to form ascorbic acid-2-sulfate and is excreted in the urine; the other part can be directly excreted from the body through urine.

1. Promote the biosynthesis of collagen, which is beneficial to faster healing of tissue wounds; promote the synthesis of collagen to prevent gingival bleeding; promote the growth of teeth and bones, prevent gum bleeding, and prevent joint pain, back pain and leg pain.

2. Promote the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan in amino acids, prolong the life of the body; enhance the body's resistance to stress and immunity to the external environment.

3. Improve the utilization of iron, calcium and folic acid; improve the metabolism of fats and lipids, especially cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular disease.

4. Taking vitamin C on time can reduce skin pigmentation, thereby reducing dark spots and freckles and making the skin fair.

How to keep skin elastic is an indispensable key in skin whitening and maintenance. The dermis of the skin contains a large amount of collagen, which gives the skin strength and maintains its structure. Woven within the collagen are elastic fibers, which give the skin its elasticity. The flexibility of collagen and elastic fibers will change due to oxidation. At this time, the vitamin C in the cell tissue can play its antioxidant and anti-aging effects, and can enhance the proliferation of collagen, playing an anti-wrinkle and wrinkle-removing effect. So it is not an exaggeration to say that “without vitamin C, there is no collagen”.

Therefore, if you want your skin to be naturally white, beautiful, moisturized and shiny, a rich supply of vitamin C is necessary. Since vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted through sweat and urine, it needs to be taken in from food every day. For healthy and beautiful skin, it is recommended to ensure 400-500 grams of vegetables and 100-200 grams of fruits every day in daily life to meet the body's needs for vitamin C. When more oxygen free radicals are produced in the body due to environmental pollution and stress, you can also consider taking extra vitamin C to help whiten your skin and maintain your health!

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the effects and beauty-preserving methods of vitamin C, so you can choose it with confidence. However, it should be noted that it should be used in moderation, and there are many foods containing vitamin C, and you can choose more in the spring.
