Why is vitamin C added to the CALCIUM+ ?
Vitamin C assists in maintaining the connective tissue in the body as it is involved in the synthesis of elastin, proteoglycans, bone matrix and fibroiconectin and is necessary for the manufacture of collagen, a fibrous element in the cartilage, tendons and teeth. Vitamin C also boosts the immune system by enhancing the activity of the white blood cells and antibody response and assists in protecting the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Due to its role in supporting immune mechanisms, vitamin C may help to reduce the severity of symptoms and duration of colds and assist in the management of upper respiratory tract infections.
