Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient for higher primates and other minorities. Ascorbic acid can be produced by metabolism in most organisms, but human beings are the most notable exception. The most widely known is the lack of vitamin C which can cause scurvy.
Both humans and animals can take vitamin C,The pharmacophore of vitamin C is ascorbate. In the body, vitamin C is an antioxidant because it protects the body from the oxidant. Vitamin C is also a coenzyme.
Most animals can synthesize vitamin C by themselves, but humans, marmosets, guinea pigs, etc. must be taken from food; vitamin C plays an important role in the formation of collagen. Collagen is an important substance for the development and repair of human tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth and help the body's absorption of iron.
Ⅰ:Vitamin C function:
Ⅰ: Main physiological function
1. Promote the biosynthesis of collagen. Conducive to the faster healing of the tissue wound;
2. Promote the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan in amino acids and prolong the life of the body.
3. Improve the use of iron, calcium and folic acid.
4. Improve the metabolism of fats and lipids, especially cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
5. Promote the growth of teeth and bones to prevent gum bleeding. ;
6. Enhance the body's anti-stress ability and immunity to the external environment.
Explanation: The main work of the immune system of humans and animals is done by white blood cells and lymphocytes. The content of vitamin C in white blood cells and lymphocytes is 30 times that of vitamin C in the blood. White blood cells and lymphocytes must have enough vitamin C to phagocytose viral viruses and bacteria, so the body's immunity is closely related to the stock of vitamin C. Vitamin C has a strong ability to reduce. Many biochemical reactions in the body require the help of vitamin C to complete. Vitamin C prevents white blood cells from being damaged by autologous oxidation, thus
Taking large amounts of vitamin C increases the concentration of antibodies such as IgA, IgG and IgM in the blood. These antibodies attach to foreign viruses and bacteria, directing white blood cells and lymphocytes to destroy them.
Ⅱ: Medicine effect:
Vitamin C participates in a variety of reactions in the body, such as participating in the redox process, plays an important role in biological oxidation and reduction and cellular respiration. At the organizational level, the main role of vitamin C is related to the synthesis of intercellular substance. It includes collagen, a matrix of teeth and bone, and a junction between capillary endothelial cells. Therefore, when the scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency is accompanied by defects in collagen synthesis, it is manifested that the wound is difficult to heal, the tooth formation disorder and capillary damage cause a large number of blood stasis points, and the blood stasis points fuse to form ecchymoses.
Ⅲ: Therapeutic effect
-
Treating injuries, burns, bleeding gums;
-
Enhance the efficacy of drugs for the treatment of urinary tract infections;
-
Accelerate recovery after surgery;
-
Helps reduce cholesterol in the blood;Ⅰ
-
Prevents infection of viral and bacterial viruses, has anti-cancer effects; and enhances immune system function;
-
Helps prevent the formation of nitrosamines (carcinogens);
-
Can be used as a natural laxative;
-
Reduce the incidence of thrombosis in the vein;
-
It can treat common colds and has a preventive effect; it can make protein cells firmly settle together, which can prolong life;
-
Increase the absorption of inorganic iron;
-
Can attenuate the effects of many substances that cause allergies;
-
Prevention of scurvy and deficiency.
The therapeutic effects that vitamin C already knows in various organs can be summarized as follows:
-
Helps to phagocytose bacteria, viruses and toxins in white blood cells, maintaining the immune system.
-
Making adrenaline in the adrenal gland to cope with the crisis.
-
Keep the lens transparent in the lens to prevent cataracts and glaucoma.
-
Maintain thought and control muscles in the brain and nervous system.
-
Update skin in the epidermis.
-
Maintain sperm motility in the testicles.
-
Elimination of organic and inorganic toxins in the liver.
-
Pneumonia that prevents viral infections in the lungs.
