C-1000
C-1000, provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies 1,000 mg of 100% pure, corn-free Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in each easy to swallow capsule.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological
functions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of
collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are the
building materials of all connective tissues, such as
skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone.
Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of
enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of collagen
fibers - lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases.
As such, vitamin C is essential for normal wound
healing and capillary health.
