Vitamin C is important in reducing inflammation, protecting
vitamins A and E from oxidizing, and producing collagen, which helps
keep the elasticity in our skin.
As we age, areas of the brain that are vital for movement control
and for memory start to diminish their store of vitamin C. Since
the regular kind of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that is found in foods
is water soluble and cannot adequately protect cell membranes against
free radical damage, it may be beneficial for us to supplement our
diet with vitamin C from other sources.
There are several types of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is found in
foods and although beneficial, doesn't have the same ability that
ascorbyl palminate (vitamin c ester) does in stimulating the growth
of the cells that produce collagen and in protecting against free
radical damage. For the most complete protection, look for a
product that contains both ascorbic acid and ester c when looking
for a supplement. If you are looking for a topical
vitamin c cream, the ester c is better and more stable.
