Buffered Vitamin C can actually do hundreds of activities in the body — not simply one or two things.
First, you have to make sure your Vitamin C is Buffered, which means it is pH neutral. You do not want to have a Vitamin C that is acid based. We already do enough to acidify our bodies between soda pops, caffeine and other things.
Here is a quick list of some of the major things Buffered Vitamin C can do in the body:
- Hormone biosynthesis – Men & Women, helps to make your hormones
- Neurotransmitter biosynthesis – Buffered C encourages dopamine production. The more dopamine, the less likely a person is prone to addictions, mood changes, compulsiveness, etc. This can help in focus and thought process.
- Connective Tissue & Collagen Matrix – Can aid in making collagen, skin firming, bone tissue, tendon/ligament manufacturing and repair, helps in your vessel walls and capillaries.
- Teeth – Aids in enamel formation
In the next segment, we will discuss hoe Buffered Vitamin C can help on a cellular and subcellular level.
